Break-Thru Productions: “Limitless” Outreach Project
Creating new narratives. Redefining representation.
The Limitless Programme was born from Artistic Director Lunga Yeni’s desire to create a new visual language for and about young Black women. This unique initiative guides participants through every stage of the filmmaking process - from pre-production to post-production - empowering them to express their experiences and perspectives through film. Throughout the programme, the young women engage in critical discussions about mainstream narratives of Black womanhood and reflect on how these images have shaped their sense of identity and belonging. A special thank you to Ms. Oakley for her unwavering faith in this vision, her continued support, and for welcoming Break-Thru Productions into The Elmgreen School.
And to our incredible group of pioneer pupils:
Chaya, Caitlin, Kashieyah, Mariama, Pariss, Nana, Ra’Miyah, Megane, Brianna, Ajah, Taliyah, Chinwendu, and Sahadetou -thank you for your creativity, courage, and commitment to telling stories that matter.
