Growing up in The Bronx, NY, I grew up dreaming of making it big in the music and film industries. Even as a kid, I always dreamt of being a working actor, film producer, and song writer. Although, I am grateful to say I am living my dreams, the work only gets harder.

I remember when I first got my hands on a microphone and started recording songs on my karaoke machine in my bedroom, participating in rap battles, and performing at school talent shows. As I got older, I realized I had a gift of gab, with the ability to sell anything to anyone which lead me in working in a series of sales jobs to fund my dreams.

Fast forward to Tampa, Florida. I developed at 12 year sales career, but my true passion was always in the back of my mind. Every day I wore a sharp suit and delivered smooth pitches, but my heart was elsewhere. Looking back, I needed that experience to develop the life skills required for the journey that was to come.

After being fired from my last sales job, I decided to bet on myself and move to Los Angeles with my fiancé. Although the journey has been far from easy, I threw myself into the world of film and music production, using the skills I developed at my old sales jobs to network and create opportunities for myself. I've managed to be involved in 100+ film projects which has granted me the opportunity to join the Screen Actors Guild as a professional actor. I hosted and produced over 150+ podcasts, I recorded 5 studio albums, and built a network of industry professionals along the way.

Today, I am starting this GoFundMe to share the experience I had at my last sales job as my first feature film, "Call Center Xperience". This comedic story is about an aspiring rapper working as a telemarketer to fund his dream. When he loses his job, he finds another at a vibrant workplace, United Medical Academy (UMA), filled with a sales floor of 200 sales people, game rooms, beautiful woman, and the potential to make a lot of money. As he onboards, he balances his new job with his music pursuits, performing at open mic nights, and passing out his CD hoping to be discovered.

UMA faces financial trouble, and the CEO announces a 90-day sales competition between the sales teams in an attempt to save the company from going out of business. He and his best friend resort to pranks to distract the other sales team and win the competition. He gets a record deal offer but turns it down to help his coworkers. In the end, their team wins, saving UMA. With his earnings, He moves to California to pursue his dream full-time.

Now, my journey from a sales representative in Tampa to a producer in LA came full circle. My story is about hard work, passion, friendship, selflessness, and believing in oneself.

This $100K fundraiser aims to produce the movie trailer for "Call Center Xperience". We have the production team already in place from the director, producers, set designers, wardrobe, make up artists, legal, etc. We've completed a budget breakdown and have financial projections. We are in communication with the agents of the celebrity cast members. Currently, we are looking to hire Anthony Ramos, Jessica Alba, Vince Vaughn, King Bach, and Viola Davis as the lead actors. Keep in mind, not all of the main characters will be needed for this movie trailer, hence why we kept the budget at $100K. Once the movie trailer is completed, we plan to onboard sales agents to pitch the film concept to networks and streaming platforms as a proof of concept to secure capital required to produce the full length feature film.

"Call Center Xperience" is just one of many projects we're producing, including TV Series, and Game Shows. We'll continue crowdfunding and seeking private investments to attract film financiers. Our long-term vision includes establishing a production studio with sound stages and launching an accredited educational program. This program will offer hands-on training in film production, the entertainment business, and job placement opportunities within our in-house productions. We are currently assembling an advisory board which includes educational and entertainment business professionals to further the project when the time comes.
