Film Screening

Join us for a screening of Nohl Fellow Justin Goodrum’s films at the UWM Union Cinema. Goodrum’s work leverages the power of film as a tool for social impact and genuine storytelling.

Justin Goodrum has collaborated with NBC to direct and produce a short documentary on mental health disparities within Milwaukee’s Black community, and his production company, Good Entertainment, presented at the 2021 Culture, Health, and Wellbeing International Conference. He was selected to participate in Firelight Media’s Groundwork Lab with his film The Stigma of the Durag, which went on to premiere at the 2022 Milwaukee Film Festival, earning an Honorable Mention, before airing on Milwaukee PBS’s Black Nouveau in 2023. For the past three years, Goodrum has been producing One Minute Remaining, an independent feature-length documentary about the social and economic burdens of incarceration on women. He is in pre-production for Christopher, which returns to the subject of mental health disparities, this time in the form of a feature-length horror film. Other recognition includes the Milwaukee Film Focus Finder Filmmaking Accelerator Program (2023), City of Milwaukee Arts Board Artist of the Year Award (2024), and the gener8tor Art x Sherman Phoenix accelerator program (2024). His work is on view from June 12 to August 2 at the Haggerty in The Greater Milwaukee Foundation's Mary L. Nohl Fund Fellowships for Individual Artists 2024.
