Founded in 2018, Shaded Media Group began as a solution to what founder, LaQuin Alexander, saw as a diversity problem in the film and television industry. Throughout her 7 years of experience in this industry, she noticed an absence of not only Black-owned production companies, but stages, equipment rental houses, and other common entities. Shaded Media Group wants to change that and empower emerging Black filmmakers to think outside the box.

Throughout LaQuin’s career, she’s been fortunate enough to work with some dope Black creatives. Through Shaded Media Group, LaQuin hopes to be a hub where Black clients and creatives are given the freedom to bring their ideas to life.
