Everyone thinks Dame is dropping wisdom. NOT REALLY. He’s giving y’all the simple version…..I don’t think the average listener realizes the insane process it takes to get a movie in the theaters. You have to write the script, that’s about a year or longer, find good actors, that could take 6+ months, find a studio to film it, find a film crew/director, get permits for all the locations your gonna film at. etc etc We haven’t even got to the MONEY aspect yet.

[@reimourrpower9357]

this is true and Dame IS dropping wisdom. The audience does not want hear about the long process of filmmaking (unless they are new film student or rising filmmakers). Yes the process is hard but Dame like any mentor is presenting the inspiration & view or part of the process. He's giving a map to success without the every step the the person must make themselves.

[@DewayneH]

Bro you lagit just gave the blue print. Yes its going to be a huge investment and it might flop but he can. The average move cost up to 30 to 50 million. Im sure he has that. Its just the grind to do. He will need to reach out to other entertainers for investors but its possible. Idk black entertainers havent done this already they way the complain about Hollywood.

I see Dame, I click, make time to listen, and take notes. Next I ponder, plan, then apply. A mogul not afraid to define the code and put his principles right in front as a beacon for those called to bare some of that same nature referred to as ‘creative’. During interviews the events addressed, historical to current to future may cycle around but the focused ideals that rightfully serve as core tenets, and the ethic that sustains them, have yet to cease to establish what is edifying and liberating. A faithful sustenance to those pursuing their upright purpose. Consistently a vibe.

Salutes to Dame Dash on his independent hustle and business actions. It is best that you do your own thing as much as possible.

Everything Dame said is true; however Johnathan majors isn't on that level. Yes, he could very well make his own movie and I'm sure it'll make it to Tubi or something; but it won't have the blockbuster backing of Hollywood and that is what Johnathan is looking for (aren't they all?)

[@flyguy7825]

No not everything he said was true he is basically talking as if he didn't get anywhere without any help and he's talking as if it's so simple to start that shit up and you don't know what other people's ambitions are and Jonathan Majors can't say well I'm going to start up a production company especially if he has allegations against him or maybe he doesn't want to do that right now maybe he doesn't have the money or the clout to start anything up.
