Norris has always been artistic as a child often drawing, writing poetry, songs and short stories, and recording funny videos of family and friends. She is a full-time filmmaker and freelance videographer. She describes her passions as scattered with a guided vision. She fell in love with television and film, watching many tv shows and movies at a time after school and late at night. Her niche for directing, producing and screenwriting developed from genres like comedies, documentaries, dramas and period pieces that intrigued her mind. Films such as Casino, The Godfather, and City of God made her love storytelling, but more importantly the truth and authenticity in documentary film became her focus of art. Her inspirations come from film directors Clint Eastwood, Christopher Nolan, Ava DuVernay, Issa Rae, Shonda Rhimes and Spike Lee. Black White & Blue is her first film that aims at politics and challenges many narratives that have a similar platform. As a millennial, she plans to use her filmmaking to target the youth and other millennials like herself to educate them on what is happening in the world, and more specifically the black community. Norris has her associate’s degree in television production and two certifications in broadcast journalism and television from Montgomery College in Rockville, MD. She is now pursuing her bachelor’s degree in electronic media and film at Towson University, and will graduate in December 2018.

Curtis A. Scoon is a New York native, full-time mental health professional and business owner, part-time filmmaker, journalist and book contributor. He began writing screenplays in 2000 after an epiphany of sorts. He decided to convert some of his life experiences into a cautionary tale titled Fall From Grace. The spec script garnered lots of interest, and word spread rapidly leading to the family of notorious Queens, New York kingpin, Lorenzo “Fat Cat” Nichols. His family enlisted Scoon’s services to tell Fat Cat’s story, one which climaxed with the infamous assassination of NYPD officer, Edward Byrne. Byrne’s death was mentioned in a State of the Union Address and came to symbolize the lawlessness of the crack era in America. Scoon titled his second spec script, 10-13, NYPD code for ‘Officer Down.’ He also successfully pitched an exclusive interview with Playboy Magazine. The feature was written by Frank Owen with Scoon writing a thousand word sidebar titled, “Framed and Defamed.” He then used the Playboy article to pitch to author Ethan Brown an idea for a book that would help raise the profile of Fat Cat, to assist with selling his script. The book, Queens Reigns Supreme, Fat Cat, 50 Cent and the Rise of The Hip Hop Hustler, received a starred review in Publishers’ Weekly. That led to a stint as a producer on BET’s American Gangster series. From there, Scoon continued to write screenplays and develop his own film, the latest of which is Black White & Blue. He is fully immersed in helping the black community by employing and providing services in the Washington, DC area. He plans to bring awareness and education through his filmmaking.
