About Us:
Black Actors Network (BAN), a division of the American Society of Black Filmmakers (ASBF), is a new group designed to offer support to Black actors in film, television and theatre.
Currently setting up its offices in Hollywood, Black Actors Network will provide a unity base for African-American actors and will offer a variety of services and support that will include education and training, the production of its own low-budget film and video projects, and the sponsorship of special networking events.
Black Actors Network values your input and welcomes the contribution of ideas and suggestions to help serve Black actors better. Feel free to send us a message!
