Q & A with director of Becoming Black Lawyers: Eva

Q & A with director of Becoming Black Lawyers: Evangeline Mitchell.

From Becoming Black Lawyers: African Americans and the Law School Experience - "< 8% of all law students are black - approximately 5% of all lawyers in the United Sates identify as Black or African American"

A call was put out on social media for black lawyers willing to share their story of becoming lawyers and this documentary is a result of the answering of that call.

Having the director Evangeline Mitchell attend the festival in person and engage in an enlightening Q & A session was a memorable plus!

Ms Mitchell's directorial debut as a documentary filmmaker is pretty impressive as it was a well crafted, well told and aesthetically pleasing film that showcased black lawyers in all their excellence.

Stay tuned for more clips from our 2025 Q & A’s!

👏🏿Fun, Laughter, and Unforgettable Moments!😊👏🏿

Film festivals aren’t just about movies. They are about people, connections, and the magic behind the scenes! WilliamsTuesca, a Colombian visiting from South Carolina, affectionately called ""My Angel""
by our festival director, was an invaluable volunteer, stepping up when most needed.

From last-minute problem-solving to ensuring
everything ran smoothly, he truly embodied the spirit of teamwork and resilience. Moments like these remind us that beyond the screen, it’s the people who make this festival special!

This year’s African Film Festival Atlanta continued its tradition of celebrating African culture, storytelling, and creativity.

A huge THANK YOU to all our incredible volunteers, filmmakers, and supporters who made this possible!
Until next time, keep celebrating African stories.

EFE DIANA ADEHOR at the African Film Festival Atlanta

At The African Film Festival Atlanta, we go beyond screenings; we dive deep into the art of filmmaking through insightful conversations with industry experts.

This time, we had the honor of sitting down with Efe,
the Script Supervisor for "MOJISOLA"; directed by Kenneth Gyang to explore what it takes to supervise a cinematic masterpiece. As a Nigerian-born director,
writer, and executive producer, Efe brings years of experience and a passion for storytelling that amplifies women’s voices in film.

With a Bachelor’s degree in Film & Theatre Arts from the National Film Institute, Jos, and exclusive training at Yennenga Film Academy, Efe is making waves in the industry. She is also one of the youngest members of the Forum of Women in Film & TV (FWIFT Nigeria) a testament to her dedication and talent.

Watch this exclusive interview as she shares insights into the art of script supervision, the challenges of bringing "MOJISOLA" to life, and her journey in the African film industry.

Stay tuned for more from the Festival!
