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.
