What the culture is watching now.
Two verdicts on every film. The Kitchen is verified critics of the culture. The Table is the community that bought the ticket.
How to read a score. The Kitchen number comes from verified critics of the culture. The Table number is the audience. When they agree, it earns the seal. When they split, that gap tells you something.

Submit your film
Independent Black film deserves an audience that shows up on purpose. Send us your work. If the Kitchen selects it, your film gets a seat on the shelves and in front of the community. Founding window: submissions are free.
