Reelblack/Syncopation is a full-service film and video production company dedicated to creating and promoting "good movies 'bout Black Folks."

Based in Philadelphia, it was founded in 1999 by award-winning filmmaker Michael Dennis (a.k.a. Mike D.), a graduate of both NYU Film School and The American Film Institute in Los Angeles.

In addition to writing, producing and directing. Mike curates and hosts an ongoing screening series called REELBLACK PRESENTS, which promotes "discoveries and rediscoveries in African-American film."

This Fall we expand to two monthly showcases--Reelblack Presents at International House and Soul Food Cinema at Point Of Destination Cafe. Reelblack Magazine will be published three times a year to keep you informed of what’s going on. And Reelblack TV will begin airing on Comcast/DUTV this fall featuring interviews with up-and-coming filmmakers, musicians and living legends. Our goal is to make Philadelphia the center of a New Black Film Revolution.

In order to maintain our high standards, we must begin to sell memberships. (more on that in a minute) In order to grow, we need as many people as possible to purchase a Season Four Membership and save $5.00 until the end of September.
