made me realize, wow this is really good. It’s
a really important subject matter so I said let
me address it. And so people just fell in love
with this movie. I can't tell you how happy I
am that people are liking and relating to my
work and that my work is resonating with
people. It’s not just about seeing a woman get
beaten but it’s the beauty in her heart. It’s a
really nice piece.   
It's always a wonderful feeling when people
are responding to your work. Both negative
and positive feedback are
essential in  helping us grow and improve.
Where do you see yourself in the next few
years?
Only in Hollywood! Listen man, I am not
playing anymore. I came here to do this and
I’m trying to stay focused. I’m trying
to revamp. So yeah, I’m trying to get to
Hollywood and getting paid for what I love 
to do. I’m creating more work that has
meaning to people, that has a message and
that will help shape people’s lives.  
Writing more, producing more, probably
working for some major company as a
Hollywood writer & director.
Yes Demedrius! Speak it into existence.
Your body of work, your potfolio and
passion are impressive. Yes – you are well
on your way to making your mark in
Hollywood. How else are you preparing for
Hollywood?
I'm making little cameos in my films and will
be taking classes here and there to help build
character or get into different personalities.
I'm trying to move away from being shy in
front of people. So, I will be trying acting
roles here and there to relinquish some of
that shyness.
