The Black Man In A Pop World (new media version)

****READ ENTIRE PROJECT BEFORE SUBMITTING AND MENTION THAT YOU READ IT OR YOU MAY NOT RECEIVE A REVIEW. READING IS ESSENTIAL HERE CONSIDERING THE HEIGHTS WE ARE SHOOTING FOR*** History has shown that the biggest nominations and awards have been given to African American actors who portrayed a historical black figure: Denzel - Malcom X Jamie Foxx - Ray Charles Marshala Ali – Don Shirley Jennifer Hudson -Florence Ballard Supremes Diana Ross – Billie Holiday Lupita Nyong'o – Historical Slave Character Of course there have been exceptions to the rules and that is the focus of this project: The Exception Vision: The goal is to work with an actor who has their eyes on the highest prizes in Hollywood by way of true acting and storytelling. With so much content and actors being a disposal/replaceable entity in Hollywood unlike ever before, creators rarely focus on shaping talent through their skills/gifts. If you read old school Hollywood biographies, stars were made by way of vision. A lot of these visions there was a muse in the picture. There is a whole 1999 Albert Brooks film that is based off of a writer and his muse. I myself have experienced the power of a muse 3 times (they didn't stand the test of time) and let me tell you ladies in gentleman, a muse is the best weapon one can have when trying to build a dominating trail in Hollywood. The inspiration that a muse gives a creator can not be explained in a simple set of words. The vision here is to craft a series of POP projects not ABOUT the black man but STARRING a black man. These are story lines of a human moving through the obstacles of life who just happens to be African American. Visionary Background: Next year will mark 30 years when I was a snot nosed kid who walked into the biggest and most lavish theater I could find in LA. My goal was to create a different kind of show and expose talent to Hollywood in my own unique way. The idea was to give opportunity to those that may not have had a chance. I wanted a theater that had all the bells and whistles to create a mega experience (Professional Lights, Huge Curtain, Orchestra Pits, Film Screen, Huge Props, Star Dressing Rooms, professional lights and sounds etc). I had no idea what I was doing from a technical stand pointI was just a 'baby' but I just knew I wanted to write, direct and entertain. For the next 29 years, I held court for thousands upon thousands of audiences, worked with 100s of actors (some now A-list), auditioned over 300 thousand talents, directed several future stars in film and stage while hosting huge entities such as Warner Brothers (Netflix now boo -shh), Sony, Universal, BET, TV ONE and so many more. Actors were handpicked by those entities who attended the events. Its been an incredible ride. As 2026 approaches, my goal is to release a multitude of unprecedented projects to celebrate. Casting and finding the right actor for every project can be challenging. What would it be like if I had one future superstar actor and was able cast actors around him for a number of projects? Hopefully this is the system of projects where I find out. View: With Netflix acquiring Warner Brothers which include HBO MAX, the focus on streaming stories will be at an all time high. I feel I was born for streaming stories. I love continuing plot lines with cliffhangers that change the whole trajectory of the plot. I was once named by a Hollywood Magazine as the King of Twists (theater). So this emergence of streaming is in my playing field.
