Bid Black

Bid Black is a disruptive, grass-roots movement seeking to normalize and amplify the presence of Black creators in creative positions in branded, music, and narrative productions. As the largest public database of Black talent in film, we look to serve production companies in finding new talent to represent; creative agencies in finding fresh voices to bring their campaigns to life; most of all we are in service of the Black film community, aiming to increase job opportunities, equity, and influence in the creative community. For us, by us.
We’ve been featured in publications such as AdAge and Little Black Book and have had an overwhelmingly positive response from supporters all over the globe. Our mission is to identify the needs of our community and work with agencies, brands, and production companies to transform the way we approach bidding and hiring. By this point we all know that diversity raises the bottom line and creates more dynamic stories, but how do creative institutions implement ‘diversity’ on an operational level? This is the enigma we are seeking to unpack at Bid Black.
Currently, we are working on rolling out new features on our website for the community we serve and we would love your support in helping us do so. Bid Black will begin presenting the work of talent represented on the site in a library format for a curated viewing experience. Also in development is the expansion of the database into other creative roles like composers, production designers, animators and producers. Please help us remain a 100% free and accessible service to everyone as we grow.
Bid Black was created in 2018 by Sydni Chustz along with the help of several other contributors who have lent their time and love to this effort. Join our village and help us transform the way we tell stories. We are extremely humbled for all the support we’ve received thus far and will remain unmoved on our mission to increase visibility of Black filmmakers everywhere.
