Black Coffee is a comedy about four friends with wildly different motives who open a black-owned coffee shop in the heart of the nation's capital. The series features a super talented cast and crew with a combined following of over 20 million social media users. Prior to filming the series, George's original pilot for Black Coffee swept film festivals all over the world -receiving over 50 laurels. These laurels include a win for "Best Picture" at DC's own Capitol Hill Film Festival, and a win for "Best Television Pilot" at the Anaheim International Film Festival. Michael Rekola, director of the Capitol Hill Film Festival, called Black Coffee "George's love letter to the city." This couldn't ring more true.
