Film accepted to two festivals
Brick by Brick, a short film that RIT Director of Diversity Theater Tina Chapman DaCosta wrote, directed and produced along with producer Micky Levy and co-producer Marina Viscun, has been accepted to the Pan African Film Festival and the San Diego Black Film Festival. Brick by Brick is intended to be one chapter in a feature-length film based on the true story of Chapman DaCosta’s father, Elza “Buddy” Cannaday, who overcame pain, rejection and systemic obstacles to become the first licensed and bonded African-American contractor in Cleveland in the 1950s.
