About Us
ActNow Foundation is a 501c3 Not-For-Profit Company
ActNow Mission Statement:
ActNow Foundation is a theatre & film organization, which focuses on the minority experience in the United States. By providing a home for ethnically and racially diverse artists, we take audiences on a journey that enriches their cultural background. ActNow delves into stories about race, love, family, cultural differences, self-empowerment, the corporate world, and the toils and aspirations of the working, middle and upper classes. Through these stories, ActNow shows that although human life experiences can be very different, we all share the same human struggle for survival, and no matter what our race or creed, we are all one.
ActNow Current Programs:
ANF has two current programs, the “ANF Short Film Collective”, which is a bimonthly short film screening series of films from the African Diaspora, Latino community & others and the “New Voices In Black Cinema” a quarterly film screening series at BAMcinematek, showcasing diversity within New York City
and beyond. ActNow Theater is currently working on various theater projects
for 2010/2011.
