“Directing is really exciting. In the end, it’s more fun to be the painter than the paint.”

-George Clooney

Since I was a boy, I loved watching movies and television shows. Combine that with my passion for writing and traveling, it was only a matter of time before all my passions would come together. This is why I created Hollywood Jones Productions, I wanted an outlet for telling the stories that I didn’t see in the world while also creating my own business opportunities. My company is based out of Compton but travels around the world looking to produce YouTube videos, docuseries, documentaries, tv and film projects.
