2021 BIPOC Film Project
The goal of this initiative is to promote content that celebrates diversity within the Shoreline business community and help support the local growing media production industry.
The Shoreline Film Office is pleased to share with you the now completed Local Business BIPOC Film Project! This project was spearheaded by the City of Shoreline, ShoreLake Arts, and Shoreline Community College, with major support from the Port of Seattle back in early June of 2021.
The goal of this initiative is to promote content that celebrates diversity within the Shoreline business community and help support the local growing media production industry. Other project goals include:
- Support filmmakers getting back to work with an emphasis on those additionally disadvantaged by discrimination and unconscious bias.
- Identify lessons learned and recommendations for the Shoreline Film Office to center BIPOC filmmakers in growing its media production industry.
Selected Businesses:
- Black Coffee Northwest | http://www.blackcoffeenw.com/
- Plaza Latina | https://plazalatinashoreline.com/
- Teriyaki Plus | https://www.shorelineteriyaki.com/
"Black Coffee Northwest, Plaza Latina and Teriyaki Plus which are all BIPOC-owned, and women-owned Shoreline businesses. These businesses all focus on creating a community, whether that means creating a hub for youth, access to food from an array of countries, or bringing a piece of home and comfort through food. Being able to tell their stories was very touching because we were able to see how each owner has fostered a family with their colleagues and community.” - Director/Producer, Sandra Garcia-Arceo
The Shoreline Film Office would like to thank the participating businesses in this project for allowing Alma Mía Productions to interview and spend time filming in their workspace. We also want to thank Sandra Garcia-Arceo for taking the lead on this production and directing three wonderful videos in our first year. And of course a big thank you to the entire crew!
