History

Angel Kristi Williams is an award winning filmmaker born and raised in West Baltimore, Maryland. She was 8 years old when her late father gave her a VHS camcorder which sparked her love for the medium.

The film then played as part of AFI Fest’s Special Presentations to much acclaim. Angel is a Sundance Institute Momentum Fellow as well as a Film Independent Project Involve Directing Fellow, where she was the recipient of their Sony Pictures Diversity Fellowship. Angel won an NAACP Image Award for directing Colin in Black and White, her first episode of television.
