We caught up with the brilliant and insightful FOH Films a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
FOH , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Naming anything – including a business – is so hard. Right? What’s the story behind how you came up with the name of your brand?
It all started with Sayso Filmz shooting music video and short films and then they moved over to bigger films which needed a production. The guys already had established our brand (FOH BRAND) from our podcast FOH PODCAST so they just continued with the name and now y’all have FOH FILMS PRODUCTION.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
FOH Films Production is 3 guys from Louisiana Derrick Ledet, Blake & Blaine Living. Blake & Blaine was making videos early on when there was camcorders. In 2012 Blake started shooting music videos for the local rappers in our area and then the guys started making funny videos a series called The Wanna Be’s. After that in 2015 Derrick moved to Georgia and a few months later Derrick & Blake came up with a short film called “Going Thru It” then came “Still Going Thru It”. A year ago the guys put out their first TUBI movie out called “UnExpected” and this year they dropping another movie called “My Ex Is My Next”. The guys didn’t have no helping hands at first but some of their friends started seeing what they were doing so they started reaching out to asked how they can donate and if they did Blake would make them an executive producer of the movie. But all in all they still do everything themselves as for casting, funding everything, editing and go to their regular 9-5 jobs.
On their sets they provide is great energy and positive vibes. It’s always going be a good time their on sets cause they want the actors to feel like it’s not work. One thing they like doing for their movies is improv no scripts. They feel like it give the actors more control in the characters and more of personal response. For the future actors & actresses that they will work with, bring your “A” game cause they definitely have more great movies to come for you all to act in.
The guys said they are proud of the progression that they making in the film industry. They are thankful for every actor & actress that they worked with cause without them they wouldn’t be able to make these great stories come alive. The guys have more movies written and still writing more and they are continuing to make great movies and keep pushing FOH Films.
Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
They have many goals but one particular goal is to show the next generation that you can do whatever your dreams is just have to believe in yourself, stay consistent and never give a damn what someone says negative about what you do cause there’s always going be positive things that come along with it!
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
The guys stated their most rewarding aspect is seeing their projects come together, showing it to the people and getting their feedback no matter what it is. Also, seeing and hearing from the actors & actresses when they see themselves in the film and telling us they are so thankful for giving them an opportunity to showcase their talents and helping them achieve their dream of acting. That’s what the guys do it for and then they get rewarded by magazines reaching out to tell their story about their journey!
