About B3 Media

B3 is a storytelling organization that propels creative talent and incubates creative projects. We work with highly imaginative artists and storytellers across various disciplines (film, visual arts, music and digital media) to get their game changing stories seen and heard. B3 has helped shape and invigorate the UK arts scene with a unique focus on telling stories that transcend boundaries— stories that defy expectations of identity, whether culture, gender or creed. Our creative talent development labs and programmes encourage artists to try stuff out, take risks, fail and keep trying while developing some of their boldest project ideas.

Everything we do is about connecting talent with opportunity, and we harness the power of the web and technology to enable creatives to reach the widest possible audience. Our programmes discover, nurture and showcase emerging talent from the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities of Britain and beyond. B3 Media was built by those of us who broke through against the odds, and we are committed to helping others do the same.

We are located at The White House, Ovalhouse , 52-54 Oval, London SE11 5SW, United Kingdom. Learn more about us at http://www.b3media.net/
