Our Stories Films is an American film studio founded in 2006 by Robert L. Johnson producing "comedic, family-friendly feature films for African American and urban audiences."[1] On August 31, 2006, it was announced that Tracey Edmonds was named president and chief operating officer of Our Stories Films, making her the first African American to head a film studio.[2]
