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

Hi Demetrius, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
The thought process behind starting my own business was to show my my loved ones that they can do more than just “work a job” without being fearful about their finances.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
As a film maker I love to film stories that connect with people who come from a similar background as myself. While creating I always trust what feels good, and I allow my instinct and God given abilities to do the rest of the work. I am most excited about the team we have built over these past years, and being able to collaborate with other passionate film makers. My journey is filled with ups and down, but I have always given my all and been consistent, and I believe that has carried me to the point where I am now. My journey has not been easy, I have had to overcome many challenges, such as financing films, but I continued to create and the financing started to find me. I have learned that art can be interpreted in many ways, but what comes from your heart needs no interpretation. I want the world to know that I am a passionate film maker who is extremely excited for the rest of the world to see our work.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If I had a friend visiting I would definitely have to take them to Mylestone located on Market st. In Camden. Milestone has not only amazing soul food but a variety of other items on their menu. I would also have to take them to the Victor. The Victor is a pub that has great food, and drinks. Also it has a good vibe. You would have to check out our waterfront, which houses a statute of Camden Great and former Heavyweight Champion of the World Jersey Joe Walcott.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My wife deserves a lot of credit and recognition in my story. She has supported me in so many ways, that I could not thank her enough for what she has done.
