Created by writer and producer Rickey Castleberry of 19f Productions launched the initiative to not only promote representation of marginalized communities but to foster up and coming talent to celebrate individual voices and ideas. Creators and writers were required to submit a short three-page script and produce a one-minute short.
“This is the first of many.

On September 27, the entries were screened at a special event at the WACO Theatre Center in Los Angeles hosted by Castleberry which featured a panel discussion about diversity and inclusion with executives
