In partnership with the Craft Institute, he helped to create a Writer’s Retreat - An in-person 3-day residency in picturesque Martha’s Vineyard, September 2024. The retreat will provided Four (4) Black screenwriters with the resources and tools to workshop their Feature Script or TV Pilot in a safe, supportive environment. FREE to the writers who were chosen. Our generous mentors included Writer/Director/Producer Christine Swanson and Showrunner/Executive Producer Erica Shelton Kodish.

Craig wrote and produced the feature film "Game Nite," which premiered at the 2024 Pan African Film Festival and is headed for distribution.
