BLACK FILMMAKERS SHIFT PAIN TO PROGRESS AS 8:46 FILMS MAKE TELEVISION DEBUT ON MONDAY, AUGUST 30

National Distribution of Tribeca Festival Films Advance Black Stories from Black Storytellers

NEW YORK, NY (August 26, 2021) - BET Her and BET continue their partnership with The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) with the television debut of P&G's 8:46 Films on Monday, August 30 at 8 PM ET/PT. Originally debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival, four new 8:46 Films are the latest installment of P&G's Widen The Screen initiative, an effort to improve the portrayal of Black life on screen and expand inclusion efforts for Black creators behind the camera to challenge expectations and remove limiting stereotypes in film, advertising and media.

8:46 Films is a collaboration with SATURDAY MORNING, a collective of Black creative executives, Tribeca Studios and P&G. Four inspirational stories told in the length of time it took to take George Floyd's life - and accelerate a movement that would change the world. Filmmakers Zoey Martinson, Camrus Johnson, Gibrey Allen and Marshall Tyler were inspired to take 8 minutes and 46 seconds instead to tell stories of joy, love, and resilience, fuel the creativity that has always upheld the Black community in the darkest times, and build a legacy of hope.

"BET continues to be at the forefront of the timely discussions that affect the Black community the most, in a way that no other brand can," said Louis Carr, President of Media Sales at BET. "We are proud to stand with partners like P&G and their commitment to equitable representation of the Black experience across our industry and use our platforms to create exposure for Black creative talent, utilizing our collective impact to empower the African American community to create positive change."

"P&G is committed to leveraging our voice, our resources and our influence to drive systemic change and sustainable progress to address bias and inequality in advertising and media. We are committed to elevating Black voices as we continue to 'Widen The Screen' and portray a full view of Black life," said Marc Pritchard, Chief Brand Officer, P&G. "The 8:46 Films expand the images people see, the voices they hear and the stories we tell to share the vast richness of the Black experience and responds to the need for diverse representation across the industry - on camera and behind the scenes - building a pipeline of diverse perspectives that help us widen our view."
