Titus Andrew Rhodes (born September 14, 2005) is a film director and screenwriter. During his senior year of high school in 2023, he founded his production company, Rhodes Film Company, as a means to channel and brand his creative ideas. His mother and father supported him in acquiring his first video camera, which became the catalyst for him to venture into directing short films and small projects. He further honed his skills by collaborating with local filmmakers in the Oklahoma area, taking on various directorial roles in their endeavors. Over time, all of his films found a platform on the Rhodes Film Company YouTube channel or their website. In addition to showcasing his works, Titus also utilized the channel to share captivating documentaries, engaging interviews, and an array of other content that he wished to present to the wider online audience. In his narrative films, he aims for his storytelling to become a bridge, uniting diverse experiences and fostering a universal understanding that resonates with each viewer. He wanted this to align with his company's mission statement which states "Weaving captivating stories to foster a universal understanding".
The intention behind "To Damien" is to utilize it as a platform to spread a message of hope - to plead with people to recognize that they always have the opportunity for a second chance, because a lot of times addiction can make us feel alone even when we’re surrounded by our loved ones.
