projects
EVT is dedicated to creating content that speaks to the Black experience with integrity and dignity. Our media projects are executed with professionalism and meant not just to entertain, but to also serve as educational resources. We work with various aligned entities to develop programming that enhances our mission and vision to inspire, motivate and elevate all our audiences.
Media Training Program
EVT has provided free training in professional media production, video production, content creation, storytelling, journalism and podcasting, for youths over 14 years old, and adults in Mt. Vernon and Westchester County. The NY State DCIS funded Program ran from late Summer 2023 to June of 2025.
Media Watch
Media Watch offers bi-weekly public affairs updates and analyses that are more than Eurocentric and examines media coverage of issues that impact individuals and communities of color.
The Doles Documentary
The Doles (working title) is a completed Rough Cut one-hour documentary on the remarkable impact one community center has had on the lives of the people of Mt. Vernon, New York. This documentary captures the fraught yet uplifting history of the city through compelling individual stories.

Then I'll Be Free
"THEN I'LL BE FREE TO TRAVEL HOME" traces the historical arc of the long African-American battle against northern slavery and for full, first-class citizenship. It chronicles the contributions the original Africans who founded the New York African Burial ground - and their descendants - made to the survival and development of New York and the nation from the 1600s to the New York City Draft Riots of 1863.
It is also a history of larger-than-life "freedom fighters" on many levels and of many races, who challenged slavery to change the course of this nation from its earliest Colonial days. This is that story as it unfolded in the northeastern part of what would eventually become the United States of America.
