Floyd Webb

I am the founder and curator of Blacknuss.tv. My past work includes producing the feature film Legally Drugged (2024). I have served as an associate producer on Mansa Tiafa (2021), Space Moms (2020), and the award-winning Julie Dash film, Daughters of the Dust (US 1992). Additionally, I was the Chicago producer of the American Masters film The World of Nat King Cole (2006), and I have produced and directed music videos, short documentaries, and 3D animation projects.

I work in new media storytelling with Augmented Reality and VR360. I was the Chicago production consultant on the 50th Anniversary of The March, a documentary film directed by John Akomfrah of U.K.-based Smoking Dogs Films and co-produced by Robert Redford's Sundance Productions. This film recounts the story behind the 1963 March on Washington. Currently, I am directing an independent feature film, Legally Drugged, set for a late 2024 release.

Currently, I am a member of the board of directors of Chicago Filmmakers, where I founded the Blacklight Film Festival in 1982, in cooperation with the Film Center at the School of the Art Institute. This festival was one of the first Black Film Festivals. I am also a member of the Kartemquin Films Board of Directors.

My journey began as a photojournalist after growing up in the civil rights movement as a youth member of the NAACP, under our president Fred Hampton. Following the assassination of Martin Luther King, I joined various radical organizations. At 20 years old, I left the country and traveled through Europe, the UK, the Middle East, and Africa, from Morocco to Tanzania. In Tanzania, I was an observer of the African Liberation movement.
