Image
What fatherhood means to me... I know that they are watching me...what am I showing them? I know that when I tell them to do something, I have to do that too... I know that they are gonna discover things about themselves as they understand things about me... Commitment is not about words, but action...I am committed to constantly working to live at my best and that includes continuing to learn and improve myself,  so in addition to the leadership classes I'm taking thru HARVARD UNIVERSITY's  online program, I also signed up for a specialized industry certification through NYU , which will help me to build skills to operate in the film and television industry at the highest levels... I'm determined to change the conversation for my family for many generations to come...one day at a time. My 3 kids and soon to be 7 grandkids are a huge "WHY" for me...I love them in ways that often brings me to tears...fatherhood, and feeling that deep can be overwhelming in that way...

Leadership - - Becoming a Better Film Producer

Image
One of the most common sources of failure in leadership is a diagnostic failure.  CONTEXT - IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM I am taking a series of leadership classes through Harvard University's online education platform. This morning, I completed another lesson and got some deeper insight and clarity on some of the things that I believe have limited my success rate in the past.  THE LESSON If I do not properly diagnose the problem, the solution I implement will not work. In the past, I have identified the problems with some of my undertakings, but I am suddenly realizing that I didn't go far enough, consequently, my solutions didn't go far enough, which led to my missing the mark on several occasions.  THE TAKE-AWAY If I am truly committed to meeting consistently with the best results, I have to make sure that when problems arrive, I dig deep enough to understand what those problems truly are before I decide how to deal with them. Also, different problems require different type...

Working With Anthony R Page and Blue Bistro Creative,  Darwin Pompey Takes An Unorthodox Approach to Building A Music Brand (ATLANTA, GA) Darwin Pompey , the founder, and CEO of the newly established Sayvya Records , is taking a distinctive approach to building his music brand. With the release of their debut single “You,”  the label will begin featuring branded content that connects to the spirit of the song but without prominently featuring the artist.  Producer / Director Anthony R Page takes a moment with actor Brandon McGee “You” - the inspirational soul single, was written, produced & performed by Moyani , and unlike like typical music developed content, that is built around the visibility of the artist, they are taking an approach to first allow audiences to connect to the music.  “In these initial phases of our development, we want to focus exclusively on the music. This approach connects to our desire to promote emotional, mental, and most pointedly spi...

The Important Part(s) Of Me - Screenshot featuring actors (L-R) Christiana Renee,  Nayazha Coleman and Dylan Bradley.  It can take a minimum of 2 to 3 years to get a project from conception all the way to a network or big screen level. It's a PROCESS and you have to have the commitment and persistence to follow that process all the way through. The ups, the downs, the mis-steps, the set-backs, the stalls, the people and their personalities - -  there will be problems. But when you are determined to win, you will reach a break-thru, you will hit the mark...eventually, maybe.  As for me and THE IMPORTANT PART(s) OF ME, I see the light at the end of this tunnel, even though I do get a bit weary at times, I won't stop as long as I have oxygen and opportunity.  A little background on this project:  I started developing this project as a short film a number of years ago and wasn't able to get it to where I needed it to be. In order to make a film project of this ...
