Meet Demoris Hickman | Author/Film Maker & Producer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Demoris Hickman and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Demoris, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
The passion behind starting my business stems from a combination of personal life experiences and a deep-seated desire to make a positive impact in the lives of others. Through my own journey, I’ve faced numerous challenges and setbacks, each of which taught me valuable lessons about resilience, determination, and the power of hope. Having overcome these obstacles, I felt a strong calling to share my experiences with others who may be struggling and in need of a lifeline to hold onto. I believe that everyone deserves to feel hopeful and inspired, and I wanted to use my platform to provide that sense of hope and encouragement to those who may feel lost or discouraged. Additionally, I’ve always had a passion for production and theatre, seeing them as powerful mediums for storytelling and connecting with audiences on a deep, emotional level. I believe that film production and stage plays have the ability to convey important life lessons in a compelling and relatable way, making them incredibly effective tools for spreading messages of hope and resilience. By combining my passion for storytelling with my desire to inspire and uplift others, I knew that starting this business was the perfect way to make a meaningful difference in the world.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?

As someone who has overcome addiction and transformed my life, I bring a deep understanding and empathy to my work that resonates with others on a profound level. I am most proud of the transformative impact my productions have had on the lives of others, inspiring hope, healing, and positive change.

My journey to where I am today professionally has been anything but easy. It has been marked by numerous challenges, setbacks, and moments of doubt. However, through perseverance, resilience, and unwavering determination, I have overcome these obstacles and continued to pursue my passion with relentless zeal. Along the way, I have learned valuable lessons about the power of resilience, the importance of perseverance, and the significance of staying true to oneself despite adversity.

What I want the world to know about me and my brand is that we are committed to making a difference. We are more than just productions; we are a catalyst for change, a beacon of hope, and a source of inspiration for those who may be struggling. Our story is one of triumph over adversity, resilience in the face of challenges, and the transformative power of hope. We believe in the potential of every individual to overcome obstacles and create a better future for themselves and others.
