Veuxdo Child Films

t matters, the root of our collective experience. What is Veuxdo Child Films? We create films and wearable art to document and reflect POC creation, exploration, and voice. We are a platform and production house making films, features, music videos, cyphers, experimental videos, you name it. All in the name of raising the visibility of conversations not represented in media. VCF exclusively represents POC. Why POC only? As a means of holding space to focus and celebrate POC experience exclusively; interrupting the dominant paradigm of white-centric media in which poc representation of the lived experiences of POC are often homogenized, tokenized, invalidated, or ignored entirely, perpetuating a system of misrepresentation, marginalization, and the dangerous celebration of monoculture. Basically: we ain’t hatin, we celebratin. We recognize the beauty and necessity of diversity; again, we are not for monoculture, this is not an exclusionary space. While we will not do hella much and say that non-poc are not allowed representation in any of VCF’s created and curated content, we will reiterate that the focus and intention of veuxdo child films is to feature and celebrate the narratives of people of color first and foremost. This is not a place of hatred for others but rather one for respect and appreciation of self. Can I submit films or videos to feature on veuxdo.com? YES! Shoot us an email to [email protected] or click here to submit your vlogs, poetry, rants, doodles, artwork, love songs to the world, films, skits, and all things video to be featured on our website or blog! Just make sure to include a little bit about yourself, along and any contact info so that we can give you credit! What is a Veuxdo Child? We are filmmakers, educators, creatives, changemakers, visionaries, unapologetic storytellers, bloggers, mothers, brothers, griots… we are original peoples, and our lives matter. How can I help? We are glad you asked! Since we do a lot of our films out of the kindness (insatiable need to build and create with dope folx) of our heart, and because we believe in the goodness of a barter economy more than that of the monetary system, we can always appreciate an extra helping hand! Here are some ideas, depending on what you love to do most:

I…like……things??!! — Cop some official VCF GOODIES! All proceeds go towards feeding the starving & surviving artists behind the making of these films. Films take tlc, and filmmakers need love too! :)

I need help making a film/video. Can I hire VCF? Yes indeed! VCF is made up of a pool of freelance graphic designers, filmmakers, film editors, videographers, photographers, and project managers who you can hire. Shoot us an email at [email protected] with your project brief, and what you’re looking for. What does Veuxdo Child MEAN?! Thought you’d never ask. Our namesake comes from one of the greatest songs of all time, imo. Consider this the slight-er return. When Jimi said, “Well, I stand up next to a mountain, and I chop it down with the edge of my hand… ‘cause I’m a veuxdo chiiiiiile…” we believe that he did, as we do, MEAN IT. Literally. We hope that clarifies some things.
