Oscar-nominated director and cinematographer Rachel Morrison first emerged as a refreshing voice at the forefront of independent cinema, and has since built an extensive body of work, channeling each story’s core emotion into arresting imagery. For her work on MUDBOUND, Morrison became the first woman ever to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Cinematography. She is also the first woman to lens a Marvel superhero movie, the box office smash BLACK PANTHER. Morrison has directed THE MORNING SHOW for Apple TV+, IMPEACHMENT: AMERICAN CRIME STORY for FX, and THE MANDALORIAN for Disney+. She also helmed the pilot of the STARZ series HIGHTOWN. Morrison’s feature debut, THE FIRE INSIDE was released theatrically in December 2024 by MGM. It is the story of boxing phenom Claressa Shields and the American dream versus the American reality.

Robin Noonan-Price has been working with local DC metro filmmakers on short films for more than 10 years. Her most recent short film, GLORIA’S BIRTHDAY, which she directed, is screening in festivals across the US. TELL ME ABOUT ORANGE, a short she directed, has screened at numerous festivals in the US and abroad and was included in the Starz Telling Our Stories competition in 2021, selected from more than 800 entries from around the world. Robin recently produced her first feature films, THE OTHER YOU (Alexandria, VA) and STREGA NONNA – A Sicilian Witch Tale (Chicago, IL). She is a five-time Emmy Award Nominee, a five-time Telly Award winner and has earned three TIVA-DC Peer Awards. In her 20+ years as a full-time producer/director for Fairfax County Public Schools, she produced MEET THE AUTHOR, a distance learning program.

Felicia Pride is a TV writer/producer and an award-winning filmmaker. She wrote on Ava DuVernay’s QUEEN SUGAR and was most recently a producer on GREY’S ANATOMY. She’s currently developing shows with Amazon, Netflix, and FX. In film, she’s the writer and executive producer of REALLY LOVE, produced by MACRO, which debuted on Netflix and became a Top Ten Movie on the platform. And she’s sold features to Universal, Sony, and AGC Studios. She made her directorial debut with tender, a short film which aired on STARZ, and she is currently on the festival circuit with LOOK BACK AT IT, a proof of concept for her directorial feature debut by the same name. She founded and runs HONEY CHILE, a production company catering to Black women 40+ and is the co-host of their NAACP-nominated podcast Chile, Please.

We are delighted and honored to recognize these trail blazers!
