We caught up with the brilliant and insightful David Fuller a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

David, appreciate you joining us today. How did you learn to do what you do? Knowing what you know now, what could you have done to speed up your learning process? What skills do you think were most essential? What obstacles stood in the way of learning more?

Content creation can be very involved if we’re not paying attention to the craft. I am visual learner, in terms of editing, filming, pre and post production. When I started in content creation, it wasn’t called that back in 2005, I watched other people I knew who were already filming and editing video projects. I had just started my television talk called Enter The Zone, in Philadelphia. A friend of mine had me as a guest on his tv show. By the time I got to work later that day, several people said they had seen me on television. At that point I believed I could handle myself interviewing music artists, DJs, etc on camera. I came up with my format, which was to interview artists live and on location, wherever that location was and talk to them about their careers, etc. I still produce the show and we’re in our fourteenth season. I’m still learning the craft and to make my content (audio and video) look better and better, but that comes with time and work. This is not an easy task. I am dedicated to my craft will continue to improve with the gifts I was given.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

For those that do not know me, my name is David Indikator Fuller. I am the youngest son of the Pulitzer Prize winner, the late Charles H. Fuller Jr. I entered the entertainment industry as a Hip Hop artist and producer. I released several independent projects on my own record label, Damage Recordings. As I began to transition from recording artist to producer, being on television was the next logical choice for me. I was used to performing on stage in front of audiences, so doing so on camera was not difficult to do. I created the urban entertainment television talk show, Enter The Zone. The show was created to give independent artists a platform to be interviewed, and have their music videos and/or live performances aired to a TV audience of over two million viewers in the Philadelphia and surrounding area. One of my goals was to shop Enter The Zone to television networks like TV One and BET. I felt, at that time, I had enough material to do so. I was mistaken and went on to create more episodes and interview more artists. Fast forward to the present and with the change in technology, I created a channel for Enter The Zone. My mind was thinking much bigger and I decided to create a digital television network called Damage Entertainment Netwerk Television or DENT Damage TV. I decided to pull all my content together and create individual channels dedicated to the corresponding content. I formed a partnership with Moses Johnson of Podcast Television and I’m beginning to see the fruits of the labor.

The things I’m able to do with my digital television network is to offer business owners, entrepreneurs, music labels, radio stations, etc a way for people to control their narrative by building channels for their respective situations. What sets us apart is, we are not restricted in what our content is and what we want to showcase. We are also able to sell ad space on our channels how we want and to whom we want. We’re able to set the parameters of how we want to approach business and business relationships with people. One problem we solve is that of marketing and promotion. With a channel on the Damage TV Netwerk, you as a business owner can utilize you channel as a private channel, where your customers can see exclusive offers you have before they go public. One way to accomplish this, is by having your channel inside your business. Your channel can be utilized as an exclusive shopping channel for your customers or the general public. One of the main things we want clients and potential clients to know is that, we are ready to help you reach your business goals through digital television.

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

Just being able to create without restriction. I’m a seasoned veteran in the game, so I’m very strategic with the moves I make. I don’t take what I do, lightly. I’m very focused in the creative realm. I stay focused on what’s important and that is to constantly improve. I don’t spend a great deal of time worrying about others who may also be in the creative space. I do worry about producing the best quality product I can and improve upon that.

What can society do to ensure an environment that’s helpful to artists and creatives?

I believe society can best support creatives, artists, etc. by supporting them. It’s that simple. Society gets caught up in what’s popular at times, rather than what’s meaningful and thought provoking. Society will also get caught up in stereotypical things rather than what is truthful, factual and accurate. Society has to clean that up. Society at large has to begin to think for self, by that I mean exploring things for yourself rather than hearing from the most popular social media figure or radio personality, that something they didn’t like is not worth your time.
