Doing something this dope with this amazing group of people is definitely one of the highlights of an otherwise extremely challenging year. While it shows no signs of slowing down, we keep pushing and enjoying the moments that make us full. Thank you to @maorikarmael and everyone at @blackstarfest for being a beacon of light at all times. ❤️ #blackstar20solit Drone 📸by @amiraclephotographs #RepostPlus @blackstarfest - - - - - - And we made it! The 9th annual BlackStar Film Festival is in the books — and we're ready for some sleep 😌. Pictured here are only a few of the people that made this year's event(s) happen, but shout out to the entire BlackStar team for pulling together under some very challenging circumstances.⁠ ⁠ We'll be taking a social media hiatus as we reflect, rest, and recuperate from the amazingness of this past week (and the many months of planning before that!). In the meantime, you can catch up on any panels you missed on our Facebook page or still grab some #BSFF20 merch at the link in bio!⁠ ⁠ See you in a couple weeks ✌🏿✌🏾✌🏽⁠ ⁠ ---⁠ ⁠ 📸 @embassy730 (at BlackStar Film Festival) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEe90HwhZe7/?igshid=bn32flprzpgk
