South Florida Charitos

South Florida Chariots is a short film documentary from Good Black Art and Essence Magazine, made in partnership with Visa and Cash App and directed by Karan Balaji of Tiru Films. Premiering at ZeyZey Miami in Little Haiti ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, the film traces the lineage of Miami car culture through the eyes of Carol City native and fine artist Mark Delmont, from candy-painted donks to purpose-built race cars, and its ongoing dialogue with Formula 1.

This is a story about collecting in every sense: cars, art, memory, and community. The documentary honors the families and neighborhoods that treated their cars like heirlooms long before the world's fastest race came to town, and asks what it means for a homegrown culture to share the stage with a global one. What began as a film is now a Miami race week tradition, with the South Florida Chariots Car Show drawing more than a thousand people to celebrate South Florida car culture each year.
