Allergic to Failure: The Robert Covington Story

Produced by Gateway Media Arts Lab alum Sholape Oriola in collaboration with the 10th Collective, this powerful documentary follows Robert Covington through some of the most defining years of his life, free agency, fatherhood, and standing as the last active NBA player from an HBCU.

This film was worked on right here at the Gateway Media Arts Lab and now it returns home for a special community screening and Q&A.

Following the screening, join us for a conversation exploring:

• The power of storytelling
• Funding challenges for DMV creatives
• Building legacy through film
• What it takes to create at a high level

This is more than a screening.
This is creative infrastructure at work.
