Introduce Yourself : Hello everyone! by Dontel Sullivan

Dontel Sullivan

Hello everyone!

My writing is not merely a form of self expression; it is also a call to action. It seeks to engage readers in conversations about race, gender, and empowerment, fostering a greater understanding and appreciation for diverse experiences. I draw inspiration from my own life and the rich tapestry of history and culture that informs my perspective.

Maurice Vaughan

Hi, Dontel Sullivan. I like to draw inspiration from my life, history, and culture too. There's this one historical story I'm trying to figure out. I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually. What's your plan for your scripts? Pitch, produce, or direct them?

Dontel Sullivan

Well my, initial plan was to pitch and sell! But after a few years of selling to other independent filmmakers, i decided that it would be best for me to write, produce and direct my own films. I produced and directed my first documentary back in November “Exist”. If i don’t sell my series “Ravenwood High” by end of summer my plan is to direct and produce that one as well.

Maurice Vaughan

Congratulations on producing and directing Exist, Dontel Sullivan! Are you going to get it on streaming services? Or maybe platforms like YouTube or Vimeo?

Dontel Sullivan

Yes i am! Exist is actually on YT now. There is a link on my instagram page and my profile.

Maurice Vaughan

I just followed you on IG and subscribed to your YT channel, Dontel Sullivan. Looking forward to watching Exist soon!
