Great Trailer For Kickstarter Doc THE BLACK GEEK DOCUMENTARY - A LOVE LETTER TO BLERD CULTURE

A great trailer was shared with me for the doc The Black Geek Documentary - A Love Letter to Blerd Culture. The film was directed by Brandon Champ Robinson, who previously directed episodes of Harley Quinn, as well as the feature The Workout Room, and the podcast series Imagination Upgraded. The doc was written by Demetrius Strong, Ron Cegers, and Rudy Strong of The Geekset Podcast, who also star.

“The Black Geek Documentary is a full-length documentary that will be focused on the History of Blerds and changing the perspective that Hollywood and the media have created. Curated and told by Geekset – The only place that blends Hip-Hop Culture & Geek Culture together in one place.”

“Not only have we lived within this culture from its inception, but for the past 6 years, we’ve curated, spoke to, amplified and added to the culture in many ways, from podcasting, interviewing our heroes, covering conventions and news, and just being present to support other creators, Blerds, writers, editors, animators, directors, etc. We would love the opportunity to continue our work on a larger scale and present something to the culture, by the culture.”

This looks like a great documentary with some great participants and contributors. The project is looking for backers, and hopes to reach its goal by August 29th. Check out the Kickstarter here to help out, and check out the trailer below. I hope this doc gets made! There’s a lot of passion behind it, and a unifying message to the black nerd community.
