What Happens When We Own Our Stories?

For decades, Black audiences have helped build billion-dollar entertainment companies.

We buy the tickets. We subscribe to the platforms. We create the culture. Yet very little of the ownership remains in our communities. Cinnamon Brown Entertainment was founded to change that.

Since 2013, we've built films, television projects, books, and opportunities for Black actors and technical creatives while maintaining ownership of our intellectual property.

Today, we're putting that philosophy into action. We have shot and released Season 1 of Sundays After Church on Amazon and Apple TV, receiving positive reviews and major wins on the film festival circuit. And we're still actively promoting the series.

Most recently, our team returned from a screening of Sundays After Church at the Toronto Pan Afrikan Film Festival, where we had the opportunity to connect directly with audiences, hear their reactions to the series, and continue building an international audience for the show.

That momentum is important because Sundays After Church is more than a television series.

It is a proof of concept.

A proof that we can create our own intellectual property.

A proof that we can build audiences for our own stories.

A proof that our talent can produce high-quality entertainment outside of the traditional Hollywood system.

Now we're preparing to raise capital for Season 2 of Sundays After Church and expand our vision of a Black-owned creative ecosystem headquartered in Richmond, Virginia.

Our goal is simple:

Create. Own. Train. Employ. Repeat.

We want to build systems that allow us to produce the stories we want and need for ourselves.

That means creating opportunities for writers, actors, directors, cinematographers, editors, producers, musicians, designers, technicians, marketers, and entrepreneurs.

It means creating intellectual property that can remain in our ecosystem.

It means developing audiences that can support our work.

And ultimately, it means building parallel systems that give us greater control over what we create, how we distribute it, and how the economic value generated by that work is captured.

This is bigger than one television series.

Sunday After Church Season 2 is the next step in building that ecosystem.

We're currently testing the waters to gauge interest from supporters who believe ownership matters and want to see more Black-owned creative infrastructure built from the ground up.

Stay tuned.

The future belongs to builders.
