Director Biography

Duvale Murchison starting his acting career at the age of 51 in October 2014. His first job ever being on a movie set was to play the role of a non-speaking extra in the superhero blockbuster Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Because of his experience in working for the Michigan Department of Corrections, Duvale made a small suggestion about a prison scene that resulted in him being told "do that on camera" by Director Zack Snyder.

Suffice it to say, the rest is history.

Duvale's "rookie" years in the film industry have been rather eventful which include the following:
