2025 Review in Pictures

Attendees were at the Eubie Blake Center and virtually via Zoom. They asked the speakers questions and the speakers provided answers and inspiration.

Attendees were asked about what the speakers said and awarded with Imagination Lunchbox memorabilia. Everyone won!

Attendees at the Eubie Blake Center and online came from different backgrounds. Some were already established filmmakers, some aspiring filmmakers, some established and aspiring actors and some were just curious.

The Imagination Lunchbox International Children's & Adult's Film Festival's IL/Eubie Blake Filmmaking Workshops provided speakers both at the Eubie Blake Center and virtually. The filmmaking workshops were hosted by founder Anthony Michael Hobbs (Imagination Lunchbox, LLC). He also spoke on scriptwriting, replacing Ursula V. Battle who could not make it on time.

Speakers, aside from founder Hobbs, included John Wesby, a producer at BET Network talking about his job and what he does to be an effective producer; Attorney Richard B. Jefferson, with clients that include Disney, provided legal advice, and Chuck Borden, a stuntman director for Fast & Furious and Star Trek movies gave stunting and directing tips.
