Launch of Show "The Next Big Business"


Today DA Vision Pictures is launching its brand new series “The Next Big Business”. This new exciting program is about shining a light on people who no longer have a 9 to 5, came up with a great idea for a business and pursued it with vigor and determination. In this program we highlight all the benefits and challenges they have in pursuing such a daring dream. We want to give the audience a real life look at what it takes to build a dream business by reporting on those who are doing it.

This show was inspired by people who lost jobs, homes, careers during the recession and decided not to let life’s challenges get them down.  Instead, they came up with great ideas and moved boldly to pursue their dreams and watch them come true.

It’s been stated many times that more millionaires are made during horrific financial crisis than at any other time and that’s why we produced this great show “The Next Big Thing”. We wanted to bring forth those brave souls who carved a path for themselves in times of great struggle. Those are the people that inspire us and we want to highlight them so they can inspire you.

The Voice of Baltimore's Street to Screen

  From Local News Cameras to Netflix Screens How a Baltimore director turned urban storytelling into a cinematic movement In the landscape of American independent cinema, few voices capture the raw authenticity of urban life quite like Derick Thomas . Also known professionally as Derick Prince , the Baltimore native has spent over two decades crafting films that don’t merely depict city life—they breathe it, bleed it, and ultimately humanize it. Thomas’s work stands as living documentation of Baltimore’s streets, struggles, and resilience—stories often ignored by mainstream studios, yet embraced by audiences worldwide. The Making of a Storyteller Derick Thomas’s journey into filmmaking did not follow a traditional Hollywood path. After earning his Master’s Degree in Communication Studies from Morgan State University and studying at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts , Thomas entered the industry through an unexpected door: local news .

DERICK A THOMAS BALTIMORE'S VISIONARY OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN MALE

BALTIMORE'S VISIONARY OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN MALE By Belinda Trotter-James Derick Thomas now Derick Prince always wanted to be a filmmaker. As a kid he was inspired by the actor Robert Guillaume; you may best know him on the hit television show Benson. At the age of six he has always been a fan of television and it just unfolded into the film-making business when he was a teenager. That’s when he finally got a chance to explore all aspects of film-making. “At the age of six there were not a lot of us on television and television influences children which is one of the reasons why we have so many bad influences today, but that’s another story,” says Derick. “Robert Guillaume was intelligent, articulate, he had power, he had persuasion plus he was the guy who had everything and at six years old I watched him and thought, ‘I can do that.’ He was just a great role model for that time.” When I asked what was he like as a child, he...

Birdman Inspired Me!

I went to see Birdman. It inspires! The artistic filmmaking of Alejandro González Iñárritu says one thing, "Master of the art form of film making". What command he has over the performer. Boy! I was inspire, I laughed my ass off at all the balls jokes. It was silly, deep and at points emotionally moving. Birdman wins but more importantly it inspires, or should inspire filmmakers such as myself to reach for new heights. Often I see filmmakers trying to mimic styles of other filmmakers when Alejandro makes it cool just to be you. Wow! I know at least a nomination is coming. On another note I watched some pretty amazing trailers before the film. The art house film world has some pretty cool films about to hit the market. I only hope to join the ranks with Lucid Dreams. See ya at the theater. Center seat, middle row.
