- An alumnus of The Black Filmmaker Foundation, Tyriq Mustaqiym was part of the first ever screen writing class offered by that organization. The course was taught by acclaimed television and screenwriter, Richard Wesley ("Uptown Saturday Night"; "Let's Do It Again"; "Native Son"; etc.). After initially pursuing a film career, Tyriq spent a solid ten years writing, producing, directing, casting and stage managing several Off-Broadway and Off-Off Broadway productions. While in between productions, Tyriq was asked to invest in a film. That film - "Spare Change" - went on to be selected to the prestigious New York International Latino Film Festival. Impressed, Tyriq decided to give the world of film/television another try. After writing, producing and directing his own short film, Tyriq has fully invested his time and energy towards film.
