Award season has come to an end for One of Them Days and for me. Across this journey, our film received 21 nominations, and I had the honor of being recognized alongside artists and filmmakers I’ve long admired. To be celebrated in rooms full of peers and collaborators is something I’ll never take for granted. This season stretched me, sharpened me, and reminded me why I chose this path and sacred calling. It also reminded me that there is hope to get whatever it is that your heart desires. I feel like I have an unlimited amount of rocket fuel in the tank and I’m more inspired than ever. I feel grounded in knowing that one of the greatest periods of my life is about to begin. Grateful for everyone who believed in this film and helped bring it into the world. Thankful for my producers, cast, crew, and Sony/TriStar forever. Making movies is already challenging so I want to thank you deeply for believing in me, and for never once trying to kill any of my creative visions. We caught lightning in a bottle! Although my part of this award season wraps here, I’m cheering on my fellow nominees as they keep pushing forward to the Oscars. It was an honor to be in that company, and I can’t wait to see how far their work goes. There are still endless stories to tell and so many worlds to build. No matter what desires or goals you’re chasing, I hope everything comes to you all with ease, joy, glory, and grace. Onward! 🎥🐦‍🔥☄️

“There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds.” Still buzzing and so grateful to receive the Breakthrough Director Award in front of a room of artists I admire. Thank you @aafca for this honor. Moments like this remind me that when you’re walking in your sacred calling, there’s truly nothing you can’t do. Please don’t stop chasing your desires. For everyone who knows me, you know this has been an uphill journey. But moments like this only inspire me to keep going, keep elevating, and keep shining light as best as I can. Being a filmmaker has made me take a vow to help shift the collective consciousness through love, humor, and joy. This is only the beginning, and I’m excited to keep building. 🎥⚡️ 📸: @arnoldshoots , @eclipse.content

Happy Opening Day! ONE OF THEM DAYS is officially out nationwide, and I had the incredible honor of sharing an early screening in my hometown, Detroit, with the friends and family who shaped me. This city is where my love for cinema was born, and bringing my feature debut back home was nothing short of a dream come true. Detroit, you’ve given me so much resilience, inspiration, and a sense of community that I carry with me every day. This film is a love letter to all of that: community, friendship, and, most importantly, hope. I poured my heart into every frame, and my only wish is that you leave the theater feeling uplifted, seen, and ready to celebrate the people in your life. So grab your best friend, your siblings, your cousins, or anyone who needs a little joy, and let’s share this moment together. I love you, Detroit. Always. 🎥✨ #OneOfThemDays 📸: @zenomania & @joemaroonphotography

“The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter.” Promoting our film during the heartbreaking fires in LA has been a challenge. My thoughts are with everyone affected, and I want to acknowledge the strength of this community I’m proud to call home. I truly believe in the power of laughter to bring healing, even in the toughest times. My hope is that #OneOfThemDays can provide a moment of escape and joy when the time is right. In the meantime, I will continue to support and donate to relief efforts for this city I love so deeply. Thank you, Atlanta, for welcoming our film with such open arms. Your energy and enthusiasm were unforgettable and gave us hope for how this story will resonate. Detroit, you’re up next! See you soon. ONE OF THEM DAYS hits theaters on January 17th. 🎥✨♥️ Donation links: https://bio.site/lafireresources /spreadsheets/u/0/d/1pK5omSsD4KGhjEHCVgcVw-rd4FZP9haoijEx1mSAm5c/htmlview

Over the weekend, I had the honor of speaking at the Micheaux Film Festival to an audience of 200, sharing insights into my creative journey and our upcoming film, One of Them Days. This moment was especially meaningful because Oscar Micheaux, a pioneer and one of the first African-American filmmakers to own a production company, paved the way for telling our stories over 100 years ago—a legacy embodied by our incredible moderator. It was a heartfelt experience to see our trailer on the big screen and reflect on the experiences that shaped this film. Mark your calendars: One of Them Days hits theaters January 17th, 2025. 🎥✨ #OneOfThemDays 📸: @zenomania , @micheauxfilmfest
