Thank you for trusting me with your baby @taylarbarrington 🙌🏾 I’m forever grateful for you and the @agencycliquish team for giving me the freedom and the tools to bring a childhood memory to life.
Influence is rooted in connection, and one of my earliest memories of FAMILY is me & all fiftyleven of my cousins putting on raw, talent showcases for all the old heads. They were experimental, fun, and drew us all closer together.
From wearing our clothes backwards and performing Jodeci, to recreating plays in the living room, and now to directing commercials for Black Agencies.
“Look at us.”

Backstory:
I hopped on a call with James on a Monday to discuss direction for a new project with a tight turn around.
Cooked up some ideas that week, and that Friday we were in the studio.
In 11 hours we set up lights, built cameras, and shot 7 promos for Black brands.
There was a lot of pivoting, but ultimately I had the perfect crew to bring this campaign to life.
Much gratitude.

Today starts my 34th year.
You guys have already seen my face so I decided to share something else special.. My first director’s reel. This is the lens through which I see the world and aim to shape it. So much gratitude to all my Collaborators, Cinematographers, Producers, Teachers (sometimes unknowingly), Friends & Family who inspire & support me, and those who were vulnerable enough to share their light in front of the camera.
And as always I’m accepting love, words of wisdom, nudes, book recommendations, and cashapp deposits $kylechattam 🤑
Love y’all. ❤️
June 2025, after completing our first project together, @whoisacexavier reached back out to @pargett and I about filming what would be the first Black Trans Family Reunion that August in New Orleans.
I was humbled and honored that he was trusting me with this story and his baby.
In New Orleans I was fully immersed with all the cousins. From the vulnerable group discussions & history lessons, to the club scene, trans bodies at the pool party, the breakout sessions, all the things.
I’ve been fortunate to be in a lot of spaces, but I had never experienced anything like this. I’ve learned and grown SO MUCH from this experience.
So much so that we felt compelled to share this story on a larger scale, expanding what was a recap video into a short documentary, Chosen.
Join us May 14th in Atlanta for the first screening of Chosen, followed by a discussion between @raquel_willis ,award winning writer and activist, and producer @whoisacexavier .
RSVP for location at blacktransfamilyreunion.org/chosen
Doors Open at 6:30pm
And much love to all the homies who came together to execute the vision in the way that this story deserved.

Some stories aren’t content. They’re legacy.
For the fourth year in a row, our team had the honor of producing @wellstarhealth system’s MLK Jr. Program. This work is deeply personal to us.
The opportunities we have today exist because of the sacrifices made by Dr. King, Coretta Scott King, and generations of ancestors before us.
Producing this at the National Center For Civil and Human Rights, where we also serve as a media/ AV partner make it even more meaningful. @civilandhumanrights
Blessed to be doing work that means something.
Thank you to the @chosenfewmedia family and our extended community of creatives, partners, and vendors who share a deep commitment to honoring our ancestors, protecting their legacy, and carrying that responsibility forward with purpose.

“The Bagwell’s 💍💰”
S/o to @zackbagz & @jasbwell for trusting me with this project. Definitely one of the best weddings I’ve attended by far 🔥
Me and @chattam filmed this in 2021. I see so much growth in my work since then. So much so that I had to re-color this before I posted It 😅
It was my lowkey introduction to just how great of a camera the Blackmagic is bc Chattam ate with his shots 😟I was struggling with the Sony A7II and a dji pocket 😔 I became a fan immediately lol it’s still #SonyGang but I just needed a better model that day.
