In December I got laid off. It happened pretty abruptly. Earlier last year, I went 4 months job hunting from February to June. My risk about to pay off, but chill don’t pay the bills. IT AIN’T NO JOBS, TRUST ME I LOOKED. So, let me hold $20 until November 12th, 2026. That’s the release of The Draft Process. I am going to sell out 20 showings, across the country. It’s my plan, that’s been my plan, since I came up with this plan.
I’m making this feature length documentary, so I can make my first feature film, Undrafted. Some dude from The Sopranos told me last year my film could qualify for an Oscar. In December, I made a studio audience laugh while on stage with Wayne Brady. I’m delusional, but not crazy. I’m not asking for anything outside my scope, and I don’t have to convince myself anymore. “If I can lie to myself, I can sell it to me”, it’s not begging for money if you got talent, it’s capitlism. Please help my capitalistic endeavors and let me hold $20 until the end of the year, so I can cook again. This process has made me humble myself a lot, but it’s nothing more humbling than being right there and being afraid to ask you to buy my work, or just flat out help me. So I have to bargain, and present to you, something tangible.
I’m going to fourwall my movies.
I’m inspired by Markiplier and other independent artists doing what they want. I made this idea successful twice, and I created demand for something as simple as a movie ticket.
Here’s the Math
A movie theater holds 300 seats, I can sell all those seats. I’m going to do 20 screenings throughout the country, in hometowns, in college towns EVERYWHERE. I need you there in a seat.
Buy Tickets to a Screening of The Draft Process
I want to find as many prospects to interview. for all teams amongst all levels. This documentary is a knowledge base, and a resource for young athletes to set expectations on an attainable dream. If you work hard, are confident, you have a shot.
I Want You To Be in My Movie
Here’s the Scene: You’re in the Hot Seat, an internet sports show dedicated to giving the greatest “Hot Take”. You are guaranteed screen time and a small investment in the film.
I Am Selling Lines of Dialogue
Here’s the scene: you are sports reporter evaluating talent for the next NFL Draft, and you are critquing DeAndre Richardson on a National Telecast. These lines will be vital to the characterization of DeAndre and will help build the narrative. Guaranteed screen time.
I’m also raising funds for the movie through views. I’ll be streaming live daily to talk about the film.
