A space for Black Culture right here in Milwaukee, The Heartland.

Marquise Mays is a filmmaker and media scholar based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He holds a M.A from the University of Southern California and a B.A from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His work presents an opportunity for Black kids to be proud to call this place home. As an independent filmmaker, Marquise’s films have been screened nationally and internationally. Most recently, he worked as an Associate Producer on the Student Academy Award Winning Film, The Dope Years: The Untold Story of Latasha Harlins.

The Heartland, is a film developed and produced in part with Leaders Igniting Transformation (LIT) for  their inaugural Artist Activist Fellowship. At LIT, they focus on building a solid future that is young, Black, Brown and LIT. This year they have developed their strategy to include Cultural Organizing in order to shift culture by developing leaders, known as artist activists. Artist Activists use their creativity to speak truth, as well as move people to feel empowered to shift  culture and make systemic change.
