Redwood Films is a production company that makes Afropessimist films — films that interrogate anti-Blackness, critique the possibility of reform, and point to countercultural pathways to liberation for Black people.

Skylark is the first film created by Redwood Films.

Black life, Black art, Black care, Black imagination, and Black organizing are happening within, beneath, and beyond the structure, and attending to them is not naïveté but a different kind of rigor.
