Hustle To Scale

Hustle To Scale is a short form documentary that showcases the journey of Black founders who intentionally chose to build their ventures in Overtown -- the once thriving economic epicenter of Miami’s Black community. The film chronicles their experiences with systemic barriers, access to financing, finding community and building a legacy as they each, in unique ways, redefine their hustle to scale.
