About

Comfrey Films is a Film Training Program and Production House designed to launch Black trans youth (ages 18-35) into the film industry and tell stories woven at the intersection of being Black and Trans.

We have a simple mission: to train the next generation of Black trans storytellers and filmmakers, to leverage our brand to get Black trans filmmakers paid projects in their communities, and to pay Black trans trainees to work on Comfrey Films projects that further the stories of Black trans people globally.

Black Trans people in our local communities are both explicitly and implicitly discriminated against while trying to find employment. We, either have to sacrifice our gender and humanity for employment or we exist in work environments that are degrading to our humanity.

Comfrey Films is creating work spaces that prioritize our freedom of expression, creativity, and center our experience as community leaders in racial and gender justice. We are reclaiming our right to choose the things that we do for work, our right to self-determine, and our right to dignity as human beings. Comfrey Films is a direct intervention into one of the main barriers to survival for Black Trans people here in North Carolina.
