‘Moses The Black,’ starring Omar Epps and Wiz Khalifa, is reportedly facing distribution issues just days after its Friday release. Producers claim theaters in Chicago and other urban markets abruptly pulled screenings and refunded group ticket sales, raising concerns the film is being suppressed.

The film follows a gang leader’s journey toward redemption, inspired by the life of Saint Moses the Black. Producers say the movie wasn’t given enough time to reach its audience and that no clear explanation was provided for the cancellations.

As of now, theater chains have not publicly addressed the claims. Supporters are calling for transparency, while producers explore alternative ways to release the film.🛑

California is booming in production — $1.4B in spending and $629M in wages are fueling a new film & TV surge.

But as those headlines grow, there’s a question to ask: Are the people behind that production truly as diverse as the state that makes it possible?

With nearly 588 crew members on a typical set, and below-the-line wages ~65% above national average, these jobs can be life-changing. Yet too often, opportunity remains concentrated.

That’s why we’re calling for a shift from good intentions to verifiable equity.

Learn how our solution — powered by Diversity Production Pro® and the Education Media Command Center — builds measured pipelines, apprenticeships, and ownership models so every incentive dollar supports real, lasting diversity behind the scenes in California.
