Racial and political tensions in the U.S. were brewing for a long time when finally everything boiled over. COVID-19 hit and George Floyd was mercilessly killed by officers Derek Chavin, J. Alexander Kueng, and Thomas Lane with Officer Tou Thao witnessing. Black Lives Matter protests erupted all over the nation, and Cinema Latte Productions was born. 

​

While drinking lots of coffee, Kelly and I formed Cinema Latte Productions to tell human-driven dramas and romances targeted at Gen Z and Millennials. The café latte first originated in Italy when coffee lovers would add espresso to warmed, frothy milk. Like all great ideas, the latte traveled the globe and diverse perspectives evolved the latte into the delectable Indian tea known as the masala chai before inspiring Seattle, Washington’s latte artisan movement. Like the latte, Kelly and I are striving to tell stories that spawn movements empowering People of Color to unite.
