Introduce Yourself : Greetings from Atlanta, GA by Harcourt Fuller, Ph.D.

I’m Dr. Harcourt Fuller, a scholar-turned-filmmaker based in Atlanta, Georgia. I am a History professor (with degrees from the City University of New York and the London School of Economics), and a Fulbright Global Scholar. I have film credits as a historical consultant, screenwriter, and producer, and I’m also a music producer. My international film projects are adaptations of my preexisting intellectual property, including academic writings, media articles, exhibitions, documentaries, music videos, shorts, public talks, and classes. My previous and future film projects focus on stories of resistance, perseverance, and the power of strong Black male and female characters from Africa, Europe, North America, Latin America, and the Caribbean. The Black history films that I’ve worked on were shot in countries on four continents.

I’ve been a historical consultant and on-screen commentator for international productions, including most recently 1000 Years A Slave, a four-part Chanel 5 (UK) and Smithsonian TV (US) docu-series narrated by two-time Emmy® Award-winning actor Courtney B. Vance, and executive produced by Angela Bassett and Courtney B. Vance’s Bassett Vance Productions (www.smithsonianchannel.ca/shows/one-thousand-years-of-slavery/). I produced the 2015 documentary Queen Nanny: Legendary Maroon Chieftainess, which premiered at the UN Headquarters in New York City (www.nannythemovie.com). I also write and produce history-inspired edutainment music and music videos, including Mansa Musa, inspired by the life and legacy of Mansa Musa, the 14th century king and emperor of the Mali Empire in West Africa who is said to be the wealthiest person in world history (www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWTN-yVwDEk).

As a numismatist (currency collector), I am the founder and director of the Black Money Exhibit (www.blackmoneyexhibit.com), and I also do some work for the United States Mint (www.ccac.gov/aboutUs/bio_DrFuller.html). The film projects that I’m currently writing are based on Black historical figures who have been depicted on money. Some of these projects have attachments from award-winning Hollywood executive producers and writers on popular TV series. I’d love to pitch these projects to major producers, directors, and studio execs.

I’d be happy to provide services as a historical consultant, producer, and writer on Black history inspired-by or based-on film projects by independent filmmakers and major studios.

I’d also love to connect with established industry people to bring underrepresented but powerful international Black stories to the global masses.

I am represented by People Store/Writer Store.
