While he started off in the film industry as an actor, he quickly began to realize his calling as a producer, and how his love for bringing stories to life and giving others opportunities could be layered into that role. It\u2019s hardly a surprise that DeJuan Ford\u2019s work as an executive producer is catching fire. The \u201cFirst Lady\u201d series is a prime example of his work, starring Nicole \u201cHoopz\u201d Alexander in her role as Maria. Riding the momentum of the the release of \u201cFirst Lady 3\u201d back in June, Dejuan Ford caught up with One West Magazine and talked about his visions, career, craft, and transition into production. Read our conversation below!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Who or what inspired your interest in film? <\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">My mother worked at the\u00a0movie theater when I was growing up.\u00a0My sibling and I basically grew up in the movie theater. We pretty much lived there. We would spend days bouncing from theater to theater, watching movies. I [also] have several inspirations\u2014 two of my elementary school teachers, Mrs. Swain and Ms. Ryan. They introduced me to acting and gave me lead roles in school plays. [I\u2019d also include] Ice Cube, and most recently, Mula Films.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>In your opinion, what makes you stand out from other filmmakers out there? <\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">What makes me stand out is that I know this is not about me. It\u2019s bigger than me. I am blessed with the opportunity to inspire others through this art form. My goal is to not only produce great films, but provide inspiration to others. I want them to use me as fuel to pursue their dreams. If I can do it, they can!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>When did you film your first film?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Back in 2016. The film was called \u201cTrue Story\u201d. It was never released; I was highly dissatisfied with the outcome of the film. I learned a lot from that experience, and plan on shooting that film again. It&#8217;s arguably still my favorite script.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Any life-changing stories that impacted your film career and decision to do film? <\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">I have always been a leader and role model to others, and with that comes a great deal of responsibility\u2014 making sure I do things the right way, knowing the impact of my decisions. The film industry gave me an outlet to express myself and display different pieces of myself. If you ask 7 different people \u201cwho is DeJuan Ford?\u201d, you will probably get 7 different answers. Acting allows me to tap into those 7 different personalities\u2014 I\u2019m a Gemini!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The event that led me to produce my own films occurred several years back. I auditioned and won a huge role with Mula Films (known for Plug Love &amp; McGraw Ave). I was cut after the first table read. Initially, I was pissed about it. I\u2019d never been cut at any level. I couldn&#8217;t\u00a0understand why. After speaking with a few people within their organization, the message became clear: my purpose in this industry is bigger than just being an actor. The Detroit independent film culture needed more executive producers, more people willing to invest their resources into bringing these projects to life. We have a very talented culture here in the city of Detroit. I want to continue to share my resources and make dreams come true!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Who have you been most excited to work with so far?\u00a0Who would you want to work with? <\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Jennifer Williams and Nikki &#8220;Hoopz&#8221; Alexander [in \u201cFirst Lady 3\u201d]. I really want to work with a lot of actors in roles that I watched growing up, your OG Bobby Johnson (Glenn Plummer) and Cain (Tyrin Turner). The women range from Lauryn McClain to my all-time favorite, Nia Long.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>What impact are you looking to make with your films? Who do you want to impact?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">I want to share my stories and blessings with others. Each film has a different message. For every action, there is a consequence following that action.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">My plan is to impact everyone. I have some really provocative and controversial scripts that I am working on as we speak.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>What\u00a0are some things you enjoy doing besides film?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">I enjoy traveling with my family and watching my 8 year old son DeJuan Ford Jr. play sports. He is a really special and talented kid. I enjoy every second\u2014 definitely not taking these classic moments for granted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Is the life of a film maker difficult?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">I wouldn&#8217;t say that it is difficult. It has its challenges, but when you genuinely have a passion for it, the process is fun, and the end result is rewarding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>What message do you want to leave the audience with when reading the article?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Collaboration over competition. The only way for us to make a difference in our community is by working together. [Second], be the energy that you want to attract. I am living proof of this.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em>If you haven\u2019t already seen \u201cFirst Lady 3\u201d since it premiered in June, now\u2019s your chance!
