About the Organization

Scene & Heard is a creative community dedicated to supporting screenwriters, actors, filmmakers, and producers as they develop new stories for film and television. Founded by actor and producer Michael Oloyede, the organization builds meaningful spaces for artists to learn, collaborate, and grow through workshops, staged readings, screenings, and live conversations. Our mission is to champion underrepresented voices, strengthen the creative process, and cultivate a vibrant network of storytellers who push culture forward.

Thank you for your support

Your donation helps us expand our programming, offer more opportunities for emerging voices, and provide resources that strengthen the creative process. With your support, we can continue to spotlight underrepresented talent, build meaningful connections, and create spaces where new stories can thrive. Thank you for helping us nurture a vibrant and inclusive artistic community.
