Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Abrraham Rockferry. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Abrraham, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.

Throughout my 20 years in the film industry, I’ve been fortunate to have worked on a number of exciting and rewarding projects. Of those, a film project that is one of the most meaningful is the one that I am currently working on, called “The Lost Identity.”

Before I get into what the film is about, let me share why this is so important to me. When I first became a Hollywood executive years ago, I began to fully realize how film can be such an influential force for change – how stories are told in ways that people connect with on a much deeper level than most mediums can. It was then that I became curious to understand how to make film transcend culture and harness it to serve the greater good. I wanted to bring people from all over the world a little closer together by giving them opportunities to experience other walks of life through film.

So, inspired by that idea, and fortunate to be in the position I held, I began to reach out to various people – from city officials and community leaders, to even a few presidents of nations – just to see if they would be willing to sit down and discuss how film can potentially help their territory … I was overwhelmed by their response.

Many shared the economic, cultural, and even infrastructural struggles they faced and confirmed that film may have the potential to make a difference in ways that other options fell short. Particularly, they wanted films to showcase their authentic culture and shed light on current issues through narratives and characters that represent these things accurately.

The insights I gained from those conversations sparked a new desire in me to begin working on film projects, like these, that I was passionate about, and independently of a company. That’s when I started my production company, Divinity Pictures, and began working on “The Lost Identity.”

In brief, the film is a multicultural crime-thriller that tells a story of redemption. It follows the lives of two men: a former gang member, turned detective (a highly decorated one), and an orphaned boy, turned criminal mastermind. I don’t want to give too much away just yet – you’ll have to stay tuned – but I am thrilled for this film to be brought to life and am grateful that it is already so well received.

In fact, late last year, I was invited to the United Nations General Assembly to meet with the leaders of Namibia to discuss how my film could potentially benefit their country. From that meeting, they appointed me as acting brand ambassador of film for the country, which is such an honor. We’ve also been approached by leaders in Taiwan, Norway, India and other places.

Prior to starting production, our film secured domestic distribution and continues to gain support from community leaders, government officials and celebrities domestically. It has also attracted talented actors, including Jesse Kove (“A Taste of Love,” “D-Day,”), son of Martin Kove (“Rambo,” Cobra Kai”), and Joseph Millson (“Casino Royale,” “The Amateur” – 2025). It will also include the talents of GRAMMY Award-Winning Music Producer Glenn Tabor.

Needless to say, it’s been an energizing and fulfilling project to work on so far, and I can’t wait to see how it continues to unfold.

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

My name is Abrraham Rockferry, and I am the founder and CEO of an independent film production company, based in Florida, called Divinity Pictures. I also sit on the board of Canada Film Group, the company that was responsible for bringing Jackie Chan’s mobile art and environmental museum, “The Green Hero Project,” to the United States.

I have been working in film and entertainment for about two decades as an independent filmmaker, writer, actor and producer. Before starting Divinity Pictures, I worked for FilmEngine Entertainment, the creators of “The Butterfly Effect,” “Snow White and the Huntsman,” “Raise Your Voice,” “Rum Diary” and other blockbuster films. At FilmEngine, I served in several roles, including co-president of the Asian International Office, where I oversaw creative production, distribution, promotion, investment and legal for the reboot of “The Butterfly Effect” and other major film projects. One of my favorite roles at FilmEngine was being an international representative because I was responsible for liaising with countries around the world to integrate, and ensure the integrity of, their cultures into our library of intellectual properties.

Long before FilmEngine, I actually got my start by accidentally meeting my, now, business partner in a video rental store in China, where I went to college and, by a stroke of fate, ended up in the industry. Not long after that, my business partner, David Liu and I were chosen to represent America at the International Macau Film Festival, which is an elite competition for filmmakers from around the world. David directed our film, “Dong Yuen Yong,” and together, we secured first place at the festival. It was awarded Best Picture and Best Screenplay – the first time that the U.S. had won first place at that festival. I also won second place for Best Actor.

Then, a few years later, I was chosen as the writer for adapting the book, “A Boy’s War,” written by David J. Mitchell, into a Hollywood story. Based on that book, I created a live-action, theatrical story that earned interest from the director of “Terminator 3.” Another story I created, “Juntu” (the nine-headed bird), attracted major Hollywood writers, including Mark Haimes, who is the writer of “Kubo and the Two Strings.” My story also gained the attention of Alec Sokolow, the writer of Disney•Pixar’s “Toy Story,” who I ultimately chose as co-writer for the screenplay of it.

I’ve also had the pleasure of independently creating and producing biblically based works, including a docudrama series, called “The Book of Job,” which was released worldwide in approximately 30 different languages and won Best Producer of the Year. I also played Jesus in two sold-out productions about the passion of Christ.

Outside of film, I also co-produced an augmented reality children’s book, featuring NBA All-Star Danny Green. This book, among other things, has a major charity component to benefit underprivileged youth, particularly in places like New York, where I’m from – places where kids may not have the greatest home life and are often pressured to join gangs. Our book is now on sale and was recently featured in the 50th Anniversary of Hip-Hop Museum, as seen in Forbes Magazine, on MTV, the Golden Globe Awards and more.

Looking back on my career, I never would have imagined that I’d be where I am today – I actually went to college for Psychiatry. But truthfully, film is what I always wanted to do because I am passionate about creating stories that can change the world. Purpose is what drives me in everything I do. If I’m able to create something that has a positive impact on the world – whether it’s telling unglorified stories, inspiring compassion, shedding light on darkness, or igniting the soul through faith – then, I know I’ve lived my purpose.

What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?

Yes, definitely. My mission is to bring love, light and peace to the world through film, while elevating the field of visual storytelling. I want the films that I create to push the envelope of immersive, visual entertainment, while shedding light on real-world issues and day-to-day experiences, such as faith values, family struggles, war and peace, and so forth.

In your view, what can society to do to best support artists, creatives and a thriving creative ecosystem?

In all my years of working in the film industry, one of the biggest challenges that prevails for filmmakers and other creatives is securing adequate funding. If individuals, businesses and other funding entities would only pause to really envision just how much film, and the arts in general, can advance their agendas, they would see the true value of what we create.

Tourists travel to places, largely to see the beauty, the history, the culture and the art that those places have to offer. We showcase all of this, and more, in film. In a profound and visceral way, film connects communities, inspiring them on the deepest level, deeper than other types of appeals can.

My hope is that society sees film as a newer and stronger form of marketing – one that creates true human connection between a place and its people.
