DIR: Desmond Faison

Allow me to introduce you to Director Desmond Faison. The very first thing there is to know in learning about this truly visionary and genuinely unique artist is he is an insatiable Director and creative who spent the majority of his formative years living in the cracks of the great American experience. Spending most of his childhood somewhere in-between Jagged Little Pill and 2Pacalypse Now, Boyz in the Hood and Forrest Gump, gang and drug riddled inner City North East Portland and the Big Sky of Montana State University, Desmond has had the privilege of having lived or been a part of an uncommon breadth of the American story. Although at the time some of these experiences often made adolescence quite difficult, it was in these crevices that he developed his strong sense of empathy, understanding, passion for justice and a unique talent for telling stories encompassing wide ranging,universal, truly diverse and authentic points of view.

Now as a creative, new media pioneer and elected local official in Los Angeles, Faison continues to use his one of a kind voice combined with his atypical lived experiences to tell authentic, responsible, timely and relevant, socially driven stories every bit as unique as his own.
