LENS ON TALENT

We're so quick to criticize B.E.T. as of late that we often don't give them credit when it's deserved. Lens on Talent is a short film competition on B.E.T. sponsored by Johnson & Johnson. The host is Sanaa Latham and the aim is to give recognition to upcoming black talent. At the end of the season, the winner will be awarded $100,000 to go toward their next project. The show comes on B.E.T. every Sunday at 10PM.
