Titus J. Burrell is a Baltimore native and filmmaker out of Towson University. He started out acting when he transferred to Towson in 2014, but after taking a few film writing courses, decided creating his own content was much more rewarding.
In the Fall of 2016, Titus' short film "Black In Blue" was one of few highly anticipated student films and debuted December 16th, 2016 on the Towson University campus.
Inspired by the sounds and images of Spike Lee's "Mo Betta Blues", Titus used the illustrious sounds of jazz horns and percussion instruments for Black In Blue's music composition.
With multiple officials selections and 1 Best Narrative Short Film award from Howard University in 2018, Titus was awarded $52,000 in scholarship funds to continue his education in filmmaking at the Maryland Institute College of Arts (MICA) for his Masters.
In 2017, Titus was hired to direct his first (work for hire) short film and has recently been contracted to produce 2 documentaries for the Community College of Baltimore County.
My 2 rules to creating a successful screenplay:
1. Tell stories you are qualified to tell.
2. Tell the stories you don't want people to know.
