different. I want people to remember that I often tried to help others who I felt were deserving of a blessing whenever I was able. I want to be remembered as a good son/brother and friend 7irst; a writer second, producer third, director fourth, and a festival organizer 7ifth. I want to be remembered for believing in the power of independent online storytelling and for starting the world’s 7irst web series festival in Los Angeles and that I tried to support other webfests around the country in Atlanta, Texas, San Francisco and in other parts of the world like France, Italy, Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, China, Korea and Russia.
Whatever my legacy, it must include my supreme faith in God because I wouldn’t have a legacy to leave behind if not for God’s favor and grace, which has allowed me to be one of the lucky ones when it comes to living my childhood dream.
HM: Speaking of dreams, name one you most look forward to seeing come true?

Getting my TV comedy, “Basketball Wife” on the air and making 100 episodes would be the crown jewel on my career. It would 7inally give me a chance to share my unique voice with the American TV audience and, in the process, showcase some very talented actors and give some gifted behindTtheTscenes folks a chance to work on a memorable show. I’ve already produced nine episodes; just 91 more to go! (laughs). That’s the No. 1 dream right now. I also want to see my web series festival continue to grow because some of the work being made on the Internet is just incredible. All they’re looking for is a chance to compete and make a living doing what they love, which I can totally relate to. I want to help them by creating a potent revenue stream for the most entertaining shows that have come through LAWEBFEST. I’d also like to 7inally settle down and start paying more attention to my personal life. Gotta have that balance, right? Hold up. That’s three dreams, huh? My bad (laughs).
