ABOUT ERROL WEBBER

America First grassroots candidate, and award-winning documentary filmmaker, Errol Webber immigrated to the U.S., from Jamaica, with his family in 2002, at  15 years old. He had dreams of being a commercial airline pilot. All  that changed in 2003, when he learned broadcast video at church in Baltimore. He became fascinated by the ability to shape how one views  the world through video.


Webber studied Film at the Maryland Institute College of Art,  where, as a freshman, he opened his own photography and video production  business out of his college dorm room. Upon graduating in 2008, Webber  shot a documentary film in Africa - Music By Prudence - about a band of gifted Zimbabwean musicians with disabilities. Music By Prudence won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Subject in 2010.


Webber has since been commissioned to produce or shoot documentary  and narrative films for educational institutions and non-profits. His  documentary film work explores topics such as: healthcare, education, human rights, and politics.


The decade-long, coming-of-age documentary film, American Promise explores the nuances of public and private education in New York.  Webber captured personal stories of two black adolescent boys overcoming  their own educational challenges, and the great lengths parents go to  afford their children the best education possible. American Promise won the Special Jury Award for Achievement in Filmmaking at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.


Webber moved from Baltimore to Los Angeles in the summer of 2014.  He was commissioned by the University of Washington, Tacoma to  co-produce an academic documentary, Love & Solidarity. The film chronicles key U.S. Labor Movements, how it shaped resulting labor laws, and its effect on human rights.


Endorsed and lauded by elected officials and law enforcement  professionals across the country, Webber was commissioned to film the  feature documentary, WALKING WHILE BLACK: L.O.V.E. Is the Answer, which tackles the importance of improving police-community relations.  The film explores the 14th Amendment’s provision of equal protection,  explores cognitive psychology, and focuses on mental health and  meaningful community engagement, bridging the gap between peace officers  and the communities they serve.


Webber's talent for film lies not in his ability to bring his world to the viewer, but the urgency with which he immerses the viewer  into his world. As a documentary filmmaker, Webber has traveled the world,  and has seen first-hand what happens to entire societies when  government officials, drunk on power, forsake their own people. These  same unsettling parallels can be drawn when we observe the quality of life in some of America’s most disadvantaged neighborhoods, due to years  of failed policies.


Entering the world of politics in 2019, Errol Webber is uniquely positioned to use his skill as a documentary filmmaker to make policy palatable for the American voter, many of whom have been civically disengaged from politics. After more than a decade of community  engagement and programming through his documentary film work,  award-winning Los Angeles Film Producer, Errol Webber continues to give  back to the nation that gave him the invaluable opportunity to succeed by running for Congress in California's 47th Congressional District.
