NDUBUISI UCHEA
of Black History in schools and was released in October 2014 mainly focused on Black History Month in the UK. However from Suriname to New Zealand we continue to receive messages of huge gratitude for creating and sharing the video. It’s now amassed approximately 20 million views across Facebook and Youtube. Following this video, we were recognised with a Points of Light Award from David Cameron.
Where do you see the business in the next six months / two years? In the next six months we want to be able to employ a full time member of staff to help us with the frequency of uploads on the channel. This will really help us continue to establish our brand among the other big content
viewed online platforms for youth-led video content.
Tell us a little more about the project you did for Channel 4 In the lead up to the Scottish Referendum, one of the editors at Channel 4 got in touch with us having
producers in this sphere. In 2 years I would like to see Word on the Curb as one of the top ten most
seen some of our work. They were interested in our producing a short spoken word video to try to engage young people on the topic. We produced and directed a piece about Englishness
with a spoken word artist called Emmanuel Speaks. The production received great feedback and since then we’ve created five more short videos/ documentaries in the following areas; The General Election, Mental Health in Universities and most recently about a music fundraiser held for the families affected by the Grenfell Tower fire tragedy which I also reported on; https://www.channel4.com/news/ grime-artists-raise-money-for- grenfell-victims
