OURCONIC ENTERTAINMENT’S “BEYOND THE DIAGNOSIS” TO PREMIERE NOVEMBER 6 AT PEACHTREE VILLAGE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

STREAM SAME-DAY ON JAROGO ACROSS FIVE COUNTRIES

Documentary spotlighting three Southern Black women thriving with HIV arrives theatrically in

Atlanta and digitally in the U.S., Canada, Nigeria, Ghana, and South Africa — “They Live Beyond.”

YOUNGSVILLE, N.C. — September 9th, 2026 — Ourconic, LLC announced today that its

documentary Beyond the Diagnosis will make its world premiere on Friday, November 6, 2026,

at 6:30 PM at the Tara Theatre (Screening Room B) in Atlanta, Georgia, as an official selection

of the Peachtree Village International Film Festival (PVIFF), with distribution partner JaroGO

co-hosting the theatrical premiere. Tickets are on sale now via Eventbrite. The same day, the

film will launch on the JaroGO streaming platform through its Advertising Video on Demand

(AVOD) model, reaching audiences across the United States, Canada, Nigeria, Ghana, and South

Africa.

Beyond the Diagnosis is also an Official Selection of the Documentaries Without Borders

International Film Festival (Fall 2026), and in August 2026 Ourconic, LLC received the 2026

SHAAD Community Impact Award — Griot (Storytelling & Heritage) from CrescentCare,

recognizing the film’s contribution to HIV storytelling and advocacy.

Directed by Meo Kellerman and Rafael Cherry and narrated by producer Santia Bailey, Beyond

the Diagnosis tells the stories of three extraordinary women in Mississippi and Louisiana —

Dominique Grant, Dr. Joyce Turner-Keller, and Millicent Foster — who are living openly and

thriving with HIV in the region hit hardest by the epidemic. More than half of all new HIV

diagnoses in the United States occur in the South, and Black women are diagnosed at a rate

eleven times higher than white women. The film sets out to change the one kind of story that

has been told about these women for too long: a story of shame, silence, and endings that come

too soon.

The film grew out of Ourconic’s ongoing work producing Louisiana Can, an HIV awareness

campaign with Xavier University of Louisiana CMHDRE. While working on the campaign, the

filmmakers saw an opportunity to tell a story outside of it — one that humanizes people living

with HIV and centers the lives they have built beyond their diagnosis.“This story chose us,” said Meo Kellerman and Rafael Cherry, Co-Founders of Ourconic, LLC and

the film’s directors. “We were in the middle of the Louisiana Can campaign when we met

women whose lives were bigger than any PSA could hold. Dominique, Dr. Joyce, and Millicent

decided their diagnosis would not be the last word — our job was to make sure the world could

hear them say it. We could not ask for better partners than JaroGO and PVIFF to carry their

voices to the world.”

“‘Beyond The Diagnosis’ reflects the type of impactful storytelling that aligns with JaroGO’s

mission of delivering meaningful independent content to audiences around the world,” said Len

Gibson, Chief Content Officer and Co-Founder of JaroGO. “By premiering simultaneously both

theatrically and on the JaroGO platform, the film will receive maximum audience exposure

while connecting filmmakers, healthcare advocates, industry professionals, and viewers across

multiple markets.”

Beyond the Diagnosis features cinematography and editing by Meo Kellerman, original music

by Jaden Parris, and a closing anthem written by Meo Kellerman and Rafael Cherry. The

Atlanta premiere will be accompanied by an HIV-awareness panel discussion featuring

healthcare advocates and members of the filmmaking team.

The film continues Ourconic’s award-recognized commitment to authentic storytelling,

following the narrative feature Dreams in the Spotlight, honored with the Audience Choice

Award at the Peachtree Village International Film Festival, and the project Genesis AI, selected

for the APHA Public Health Film Festival.
