Director Statement

As a young African American filmmaker living in Los Angeles, my sole purpose is to create empowering films for the community that teach lessons and inspire people to be better versions of themselves. With the death of John Singleton, I wanted to create a film that paid homage to him and other 90s crime drama classics such as In Too Deep, Deep Cover, Menace II Society, Boyz N The Hood, Juice, and New Jack City.

LA UNDERCOVER is a hard hitting, gritty crime drama with the the tone and vibe of hit tv shows Snowfall, BMF, and Power. I owe the Los Angeles community for the amazing shots that were captured in the making of this film and this film is my gift to my supporters and my community. I am a rising filmmaker who is carving his name in the entertainment industry as I have racked up over 30 awards in international festivals for my short films including Best Debut Filmmaker, Best Short Film, Best Actor, Best Drama and more.

In this film, I captured Los Angeles in a beautiful way with captivating montages. The film features several up and coming actors as well as music artists, as amazing talent is on full display. Creating movies that people can feel is my goal, and LA UNDERCOVER certainly fits that motto.
