Who we are
We are an independent production and distribution company run by former and current HBCU student filmmakers of the Atlanta University Center in Atlanta, Georgia. Our catalogue includes realist monochromatic narrative dramas and docu films focused on expressing the complexity of mundanity, the black American condition, and the nature of black orphanhood.
Founded by Kyle Walker, a 2024 Morehouse Film Graduate, Apple in the Box was created to serve HBCU film students, and black indie narrative and documentary writer-directors stunted by restricted access to resources.
OUR ETHOS IS “THE POWER OF COMPLEX SIMPLICITY”
We offer crew, loans, grants, pitch competitions, as well as counseling and seminars on how to produce, write, direct, and photograph no-budget to low-budget narrative and docu films and it all starts with what’s on the page. Writing for budget is key.

“I believe existentialism screams the loudest in the mundane and in those moments of great stillness and silence where the artist relinquishes all ego and let’s nature tell its own story”
