Our Story
Throughout LaQuin’s career, she’s been fortunate enough to work with some dope Black creatives. Through Shaded Media Group, LaQuin hopes to be a hub where Black clients and creatives are given the freedom to bring their ideas to life.
Founded in 2018, Shaded Media Group began as a solution to what founder, LaQuin Alexander, saw as a diversity problem in the film and television industry. Throughout her 7 years of experience in this industry, she noticed an absence of not only Black-owned production companies, but stages, equipment rental houses, and other common entities. Shaded Media Group wants to change that and empower emerging Black filmmakers to think outside the box.
