We had the good fortune of connecting with Fr3deR1cK Taylor and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Fr3deR1cK, maybe we can start at the very start – the idea – how did you come up with the idea for your business?

The idea for my business was inspired by cultural cross-sectional experience.

The power of people sharing who they are with each other creates the foundation for Tomorrow Pictures.

The future is tomorrow and in the future all cultures contribute to the picture and the image of humanity.

What we see is what we are in the universe of tomorrow.

The story is in the telling of the images. Images that include everyone create solutions to our everyday lives.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?

What sets me apart from others in my art is my commitment to telling stories outside of myself and highlighting people who deserve a day in the sun.

I take a tremendous amount of pride in helping others gain insight and inspiration for it is others who recognize and assist all human beings in great endeavours.

I achieved my success in the film industry by helping people. Playing it forward created and solidified my legacy.

Always looking at the big picture. Holding the door for others has created my faith in all people and communities.

This was not easy. We live in a world of uncertainty and greed. Being committed and strident about content of character has driven my content creation.

Tomorrow Pictures is an organization committed to and inspired by images of the future. 2024 and beyond!

Tomorrow is today.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?

In LA my favorite places are scattered throughout the city.

Geoffrey’s in Malibu is my favorite place for an amazing dinner and sunset. take someone you love.

Good Times At Davey Waynes in Hollywood is a can’t miss fantastic time of dancing all night long to all your favorite 70’s rock and soul tunes. Take your favorite people.

The Larchmount District is the best for food, shopping and neighborhood walking without all the glitz.

Manhattan Beach is where you want to be play, drink and beach your way to a good time. The Sunsets are fantastic.

Of course walking the streets of Hollywood is something I recommend to anyone who wishes the experience of Tinseltown history. It’s a walk of a 100 years of dreams.

One more quick note; go see a fun live old school music show at Cantinas on Sunset and grab a drink at Bordners at Las Palmas and Hollywood. James Dean threw a few back there too.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?

I would like to dedicate my shout out to my Grandmother Ms. Juanita Jones of the Southside of Chicago.

This year would have been her 100th birthday.

She was born in 1923 on the other side of the tracks in Memphis Tennessee, went to college and became an educator in one of the toughest cities in America. The Southside of Chicago..

She emancipated herself from cotton fields and taught others how to be there best self and obtain the American dream reguardless of living in the inner city.

Without her I would have never lived out my hopes and dreams. I would not be here today giving this interview.

Her dreams, dreamed me into existence. She always said, “You are the first person in the history of our family who does whatever they want to do and answers to no one.”

She ushered me into the 21st century.

Juanita paved a way to a world that allowed me to cross the tracks.

She created a universe that allowed me to live my best self and life based on my dreams of tomorrow.

I dedicate this article and my career to her.
