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

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I love to tell stories, and as a film maker I have the opportunity to do that. I believe what sets me apart from other film makers is my versatility, and the ability to appeal to everyone regardless of their age or race. Everyone likes a good story, and I want to establish myself as a good storyteller. So, everyone can already know what they’re getting before they watch the film. I’m mostly proud of how far I’ve came, and so excited about what’s to come. I’ve learned so much since I’ve started, and I can’t wait to put it all on display. I believe I’ve gotten this far just by wanting to learn. When I started, I didn’t know anything film. I just knew that I wanted to do it. So, I went to school and learned from the best instructors to better my craft. Making a film is definitely not easy. Any film maker will agree, but I believe that having a great support system is definitely important. There’s so much that goes into making a film that can cause stress. But with the right team there’s no obstacle that aren’t too difficult to overcome. I’ve learned many lessons so far. But the biggest lesson I’ve learned is patience. We all want immediate success, but I also learned that everything happens for a reason. So, when it’s my time to succeed, I’ll know that it’s because earned it. I just want the world to know that I know I’m not where I want to be, but I’m also not where I used to be. There’s still a long path ahead of me on this journey. I’m so excited to share it with everyone.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would probably take them to the beach if it’s the summertime. I found out that some of the most interesting people are at the beach. Or I would take them to an amusement park and have some fun riding roller coasters. After that maybe go get some good food down in Koreatown. The best Korean barbeque and ramen in town.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
First, I would like to thank God. Without God I don’t think I’ll be where I am today. Secondly, I want to thank all my friends and family for always supporting me and pushing me to be great even when I didn’t believe. Lastly, I want to thank all the talented people that I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with. All of them made a big impact on my journey. So much that without one of them being there would’ve made a huge difference.
