CHICALLYWOOD

A Chicago-area film and media initiative creating original stories, public screenings, artist interviews, and professional opportunities for Midwest creatives.

Founded by Maurice “YoungBlaze” Clopton, Chicallywood is built around a simple belief: world-class entertainment does not have to leave the Midwest to exist. Through narrative film, media, live events, and creative collaboration, Chicallywood creates a platform for actors, filmmakers, musicians, and storytellers to develop, connect, and be seen.
