The controversial series covers current events of ongoing racial tensions.

We catch up with C-Class to talk about his current and past projects...


Boss XL Mag - What motivated you to become a filmmaker?


C-Class - I always felt I had a compelling and interesting life story. After the Money & Violence n Respect Life YouTube series came out, it gave me the motivation to think I can do it myself because they did it on they own, and they were independent. I didn't start out holding the camera, but my first director bailed on me and I just picked up the job as director and camera man. I had full control after that.


Boss XL Mag - What are some of the challenges you have to face in terms of distribution and getting your films out to the public?


C-Class - Currently I have distribution deal with Homestead entertainment Co founder Bob Johnson former owner of BET. Before that, my main challenge was getting people to get pass the stereotype that comes with having a " Web Series". People wouldn't watch or they would just assume that it's like other low quality "Web Series" and not give us a shot over people who didn't have the success we do.





Boss XL Mag - What are some of your upcoming projects and the future direction of your production company?


C-Class - I have a comedy titled " Edments High", a Drama film and a horror movie in the works for 2023. My direction is to have my own network and to help facilitate other black shows to get to the top while still making my films. I see a lot of potential in other filmmakers like me when I first started out, so if I can get them get a boost, they can be super great and I Ican be responsible for that. Black films forever!!
