"As a millennial leader taking on the helm of the San Francisco Black Film Festival from my late father, Kali O’Ray, who lead the organization for a decade after my late grandmother, Ave Montague, founded it with the mission of affirming the African Diaspora worldwide and empowering filmmakers, both established and aspiring, it is a honor to have Michael Burdette’s “Lady Soul Revolution II” salute our work,” said Cree Ray, Executive Director of the San Francisco Black Film Festival. “We continue with our motto “Healing the World One Film at A Time” and we do so with friends like Michael Burdette. We are thankful for friends like Michael.”

“Music and film are integral art forms and June is Black Music Month, so I thought it was a good idea to reinforce the value of Black music by powerful talented Black women while saluting an institution founded by an empowering Black woman,” said Michael Burdette, CEO, Hylife-Ocity Productions.
