Stitching the Fabric
of a Nation.

In Kingston, where dreams are hard to hold onto, factory worker Malcolm and seamstress Danielle find love during quiet bus rides. When Malcolm is accused of a crime, their world shatters. As Danielle digs for the truth, she faces an impossible choice: stay loyal to those she trust, or stand up against the injustice threatening to tear her and Malcolm apart.

Crowdfunding

We believe storytelling can spark cultural change — and Threads of Us is our love letter to Jamaica, woven with purpose, pride, and possibility. With your support, we're amplifying a grassroots model of Caribbean filmmaking that uplifts creatives, connects diasporas, and redefines what cinema can be.

Behind the seams

As part of production, Threads of Us integrated a paid internship and mentorship program rooted in professional development, offering hands-on experience and real-world training for the next generation of Jamaican creatives.

The Charles Officer Mentorship Program (COMP) is a cultural and professional development initiative created by Humanity Ova Vanity (HOV), a Toronto-based non-profit founded by Donisha Prendergast, in tribute to filmmaker Charles Officer. Designed to empower emerging diasporic Jamaican creatives and strengthen the island’s film industry, COMP offers hands-on training and industry exposure across film and media disciplines.

Launched in 2025, the inaugural COMP cohort included 15 paid interns placed in key departments such as camera, sound, wardrobe, legal, production, and marketing. Each intern was paired with an experienced mentor from Jamaica or Canada, gaining real-world skills during the production of the feature film Threads of Us.

Screening Activation

Host an exclusive screening of Threads of Us and be part of a landmark cultural moment. As one of 63 global partners, you’ll join a collective celebration of Jamaican pride, resilience, and cinematic storytelling premiering at the iconic Bob Marley Museum Theatre.
