“YELLOW” Receives 15K Grant from IPMF to Bring a Story of Forgiveness and Self-Discovery to Life

We've got big news! GurlCo Media is proud to announce that we've been awarded a $15,000 grant from the Independence Public Media Foundation (IPMF) to produce our original short film, YELLOW.


What is YELLOW about?

Set in Philadelphia, YELLOW tells the story of a newly divorced mom finding her footing again when her ex-husband unexpectedly reappears. Her story is about love, self-discovery, and the messy beauty of forgiveness.

And now, with IPMF’s support, we get to bring this powerful story to the screen.

Why this grant matters?

The IPMF grant is more than just funding – it’s a powerful vote of confidence. It’s recognition of our voice, our vision, and the stories we’re here to tell. It’s support for a woman-led, Black-owned media company that’s pushing forward, even when the odds are steep. It’s a reminder that underrepresented filmmakers deserve space, resources, and a spotlight. And now, we get to create something real and lasting.

What’s next?

We’re rolling full steam into pre-production – and bringing you along for the ride. From behind-the-scenes moments to cast spotlights and location reveals, get ready for an inside look at the magic in the making.
