Coming soon to @netflix. Thank you @cbjsr for the sheer power of your words and your abiding trust in us, to @sundanceorg for the nest from which to take flight, and congratulations to the entire creative team who brought so much love and talent to the making of this film.
We can’t wait for the world to meet Clarence B. Jones. We promise, it’s an encounter you will not soon forget.

Fact: the first movies were short documentaries.
At Breakwater Studios, we built our company around a simple belief. Brevity is power.
When we started almost 15 years ago, people laughed at the idea of a high craft short documentary business. We were told to keep our day jobs.
We loved it anyway. So we kept going and, eventually, found our fellow believers (many who have been at it a lot longer than us!) along the way.
Today we are a team of 20 working out of Walt Disney’s original studio in Los Feliz. Every day we try to do right by our storytellers, our partners, and our audience.
And we still love it.
At a moment when the traditional model is failing us, innovation can mean returning to an old idea. Something that has been right in front of us since the first frame.
Link in bio if you are curious why @fastcompany named Breakwater one of the Most Innovative Film and TV Companies in the world this year alongside incredible leaders like @proximitymedia @imax @sonyanimation.

Composed by Kris Bowers and recorded in Studio One at the legendary Abbey Road Studios with @chinekeorchestra and musicians from Ghana and across the African diaspora, we are extremely proud of this score that brings together musical traditions, generations, and continents to form the beating heart of this film.

Thank you, Kris, and all of the talented musicians and engineers who lent their remarkable talents to our cause. The film would truly not be the same without it.

How does being a therapist shape the way you tell a story?

Ben Jones @cbj315, It has been an absolute honor to help bring your father’s extraordinary story to the world as we share THE BADDEST SPEECHWRITER OF ALL with audiences everywhere.

“My father spent his life believing in the power of words and believing they could move our nation towards a more perfect union. When he wrote them for someone else to deliver, he never needed the spotlight. Watching the world embrace this film and hear his words again and again has been the greatest gift.” - Ben Jones
Tears began rolling down my cheeks on this plane as I watched the live stream of Ben holding it together on stage with my incredible friends @jack_weisman & @sanguinuss at his back. I only wish I could have been there tonight but honestly, no one could have spoken on behalf of our film better than @cbj315 just did.
Ben: What a gift and honor it has been for Stephen and I to have had the chance to get to know and love you, grieve and celebrate with you, and be at your side over the last year of incredible mountaintops and valleys. What a beautiful tribute you paid to your father and our filmmaking team tonight as we celebrate your Dad and all of his multifaceted non-violent badness.
On a personal note, I want to offer an enormous thank you to @criticschoice Documentary Awards on behalf of Stephen and I. Thank you for honoring not only Clarence and his family, but our incredibly creative and hardworking team with this special, special award.
And you know how I know we have a great short doc community? Even though I couldn’t get to the ceremony in time, within seconds, my texts were replete with all the photos, videos and messages in this post from kind friends and gracious fellow nominees in the room who, in their true and beautiful nature, documented everything and shared it with me. 🥹
Feeling so very grateful somewhere over this beautiful and complex nation that continues to bless, challenge, beguile and inspire me.
Congratulations to all the nominees and winners tonight!!

Rejected from film school. Two Oscars later...
Ben Proudfoot’s path to Hollywood wasn’t exactly traditional. One class assignment, an accidental Vimeo Staff Pick, and a whole lot of creating his own opportunities later, he’s built a career telling stories that might otherwise go untold.
Comment “BEN” and we’ll DM you the link to the interview.
