Errol Webber
Digital Director, American Patriotic Movement
Award-winning documentary filmmaker, Errol Webber has earned a reputation as a refined film producer and cinematographer, adept at capturing polished, hyper real visuals and telling compelling stories. Webber immigrated to the U.S., from Jamaica, with his family in 2002, at 15 years old. He had dreams of being a commercial airline pilot. All that changed in 2003, when he learned broadcast video at church in Baltimore. He became fascinated by the ability to shape how one views the world through video.
Webber studied Film at the Maryland Institute College of Art, where, as a freshman, he opened his own photography and video production business. Upon graduating in 2008, Webber shot a documentary film in Africa - Music By Prudence - about a band of gifted Zimbabwean musicians with disabilities. Music By Prudence won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Subject in 2010.
Webber has since been commissioned to produce or shoot documentary and narrative films for educational institutions and non-profits. His documentary film work explores topics such as: healthcare, education, the justice system, and human rights.
The decade-long, coming-of-age documentary film, American Promise explores the nuances of public vs. private education in New York. Webber captured personal stories of two Black adolescent boys overcoming their own educational challenges, and the great lengths parents go to afford their children the best education possible. American Promise won the Special Jury Award for Achievement in Filmmaking at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.
Webber moved from Baltimore to Los Angeles in the summer of 2014. He was commissioned by the University of Washington, Tacoma to co-produce an academic documentary, Love & Solidarity. The film chronicles key U.S. Labor Movements, how it shaped resulting labor laws, and its effect on human rights.
Endorsed and lauded by elected officials and law enforcement professionals across the country, Webber was commissioned to film the feature documentary, “WALKING WHILE BLACK: L.O.V.E. Is the Answer,” which tackles the importance of improving police-community relations. The film explores the 14th Amendment’s provision of equal protection, explores cognitive psychology, and focuses on mental health and meaningful community engagement, bridging the gap between peace officers and the communities they serve.
Webber's talent for film lies not in his ability to bring his world to the viewer, but the urgency with which he immerses the viewer into his world. He is known for his arresting imagery and rebellious compositions.
After more than a decade of film work, award-winning Los Angeles Film Producer, Errol Webber continues in his most prized obsession; filmmaking.
