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

Hi SHAWN, what’s your definition for success?
Success to me means accomplishment — staying true to the goal, protecting the goal, and walking in my faith as I walk the vision. It’s about trusting what was placed in me and never losing sight of the purpose behind it. Every step I take is guided by faith, discipline, and dedication to the bigger picture. Success isn’t just reaching the destination; it’s remaining consistent, focused, and grounded while bringing the vision to life exactly how it was meant to be seen.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My art is rooted in authenticity — bringing real experiences to the screen with honesty, faith, and purpose. What sets me apart is my commitment to telling stories that are personal yet universal, blending lived experience with creativity to create work that resonates deeply with audiences. My series Walk With Me is a prime example: a project born from my own life, brought to life with intention and heart, and built to inspire others to see their own potential.

The journey to where I am today professionally has not been easy. Building Genre Motion Pictures and bringing Walk With Me to fruition required perseverance, patience, and an unwavering belief in my vision. Every obstacle — from funding challenges to navigating a competitive industry — was met with faith and determination. I’ve learned that obstacles are opportunities to grow. Staying true to your vision, protecting it, and walking it out with faith is what separates a dream from a movement.

What I want the world to know about me and my brand is simple: I create with purpose. Every project is an extension of my story, my values, and my commitment to authenticity. Through Genre Motion Pictures and Walk With Me, I am building more than content — I am building a legacy that reflects integrity, creativity, and the power of following your vision without compromise.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
want to dedicate my shoutout first and foremost to God, for giving me the vision and the strength to walk it out. My faith has guided every step of this journey. I also want to thank my family for their constant love and support — they kept me grounded when things got tough. And I want to recognize every creative, actor, and team member who’s been a part of Genre Motion Pictures and our series Walk With Me. That project came from a real place in my life, and it took faith, teamwork, and trust to bring it to the screen. Everyone who believed in the story helped make it more than just a series — they helped it become a movement. I’m truly grateful for everyone who’s played a part in the vision.
