LOS ANGELES - ncarol.com -- In celebration and honor of Black History Month, The Black TV & Film Collective (BTFC) has partnered with Delta Airlines to curate content from creators of Black and African descent. The Black TV & Film Collective facilitates career-advancing opportunities for minorities to achieve financial sustainability within the entertainment industry.
The BTFC partnership with Delta Airlines produced the Delta Bold BRG X BTFC Black History Month collection, and for the entire month of February, travelers can choose from a BTFC member-curated Black History Month Module within Deltas Inflight Entertainment. Films include titles such as Marvel's academy award-winning "Black Panther", the hit horror film "Get Out", "Hidden Figures", "Fences", and many more.
Additionally, in January 2023, BTFC was also one of five partner organizations selected to nominate talent for Netflix's inaugural Created By Initiative. This is part of Netflix's focus to increase better representation behind the camera for 14 mid-level film and series writers. Each partner organization nominated candidates from their own writers' programs and Netflix selected the final recipients. The Black TV and Film Collective's Latasha Mercer and Elisee Junior St Preux were chosen as two of the final recipients. These two storytellers will have the opportunity to go through the studio development process and work on projects alongside Netflix executives.

They have such immense global reach, and their commitment to supporting the work and needs of our members sends the message that Black American stories are global stories that should be cherished and celebrated by all of humanity," said Kibi Anderson, Co-President of the BTFC
Delta Airlines and Netflix are both committed to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in the broadest sense as a major part of their work are to connect and reflect the world. There is a major emphasis placed on creating opportunities for people from all backgrounds and cultures.
