I Am or How Jack Became Black
Filmmaker
Eli Steele is the filmmaker behind I Am or How Jack Became Black. His career highlights
include What’s Bugging Seth, winner of ten film festivals, and Katrina, which won the
Breakthrough Filmmakers award. His latest film, I Am, was born out of a Los Angeles Times
op-ed where he wondered what America would be like in 2050 when multiracials like himself
and his children account for 25% of the population. It took five years to film I Am. He is pleased to be presenting it at the Anthem Film Festival at FreedomFest.
