JOIN ME!
Hi, my name is Patricia Ferguson. I am Founder and President of Equity Films, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization built around three core pillars: the Pecan Pickling Film Festival, our showcase of independent film and filmmakers; SWIFT! — Students Working in Film Today, including SWIFT! Productions — Students Working on Set, our youth education and hands-on filmmaking initiative; and Stories from the Porch, preserving and reimagining the stories of our communities through film, AI, and mixed-media storytelling.
This rural agrarian majority-African American community and region stands ready to explore the potential of the film industry. Our showcase of independent films attracts filmmakers and industry professionals to the region while demonstrating what is possible here. It is an invitation to discover, connect, create, and ultimately produce here, helping grow a film ecosystem where creatives can build promising futures close to home.
With a County history of tenant farming and hard work the present generation stands ready to learn and transfer skills to help themselves thrive. Our goal is a film ecosystem and workforce development that attracts small productions from across the world with a budget of $5 million. I hope you make plans to join us Friday, September 11, 2026 with film screenings and our signature EFFIE AWARDS and TRIBUTE to Northeastern North Carolina Filmmakers. You’ll be glad you did!
