OVER '4' DECADES OF ENTERTAINMENT...

For the record...

 

I know exactly who I am and the unique gifts I bring to the world. I’ve proven my value, I understand it deeply, and I believe fiercely in my dreams. I’m always creating—writing, directing, producing—continuously bringing new art to life.

My journey began in childhood with art and music. Over time, I learned to blend the two, which naturally evolved into dramatic and visual storytelling. I built entire imaginary worlds from a deeply intuitive creative space. In the early days, I didn’t even have a clear concept—THE CREATOR simply guided my steps.

The late Professor James Haskins critiqued my very first screenplay and told me I had real potential as a screenwriter. He became a mentor, and with his encouragement I took off—fast. Since then, I’ve written more than 20 screenplays, more than 20 stage plays, and 4 books, while also directing, casting, producing, acting, and touring my work. What an incredible ride.

My work has been selected in several festivals globally. My latest comedy, SHE DA PLAYA!, has been officially selected by The Accolade Global Film Competition 2025, the London Vision FF, and I couldn’t be more grateful.
My suspense thriller, HOUSE OF APRIL 1ST, has also been selected by The Accolade Global Film Competition 2024 and The Venice Film Festival 2024, and won Best Feature Film at the Paris Lift-Off Film Festival 2024.

My political drama THUG FOR PRESIDENT screened at The Golden State Film Festival 2024 and The California International Film Festival 2024. The Golden State Film Festival 2023 also screened my short film Love Ain't This 1, and in 2022 The Indie Short Fest selected my sitcom The Duval's as a semi-finalist.

In the past, major companies such as Atlas Entertainment and Wishmaker Films have considered my work, and I’ve placed as a quarter-finalist in several screenplay competitions. I was previously represented by a WGA agent.

Beyond film, I remain active in community work—partnering with organizations and churches to support student scholarships, outreach programs, homeless initiatives, and more.

Today, I’m still writing, directing, and producing films, sitcoms, web series, and new projects across multiple mediums—including music production and editing. I’ve stopped waiting for the phone to ring. I stay working. And when the moment is right, the next level of success will arrive—right on time.

Reach out if you’d like more information or want to discuss a project.

BSM … the right kind of different!
