Drew Lee Temple chose a goal to score in his life, when he picked up film. Today considered to be the new John Singleton (of'Boyz in the Hood' fame) in the making, Temple is close to finishing a full length feature film,'Sunday', and has got a massive following on his Instagram webpage that is nearing 100K fans. That's like a stadium, and they are all there to watch hands and his eyes create the same magic.
Temple is currently making future functions and his films from LA, in Kansas City, Missouri, where he was born. He received a full football scholarship at Mizzou. By then he was watching twenty films each day, brought on the screen, which he felt could make a difference to the Black community. Temple chose to turn down the scholarship, anticipating making films so that everybody could dream of succeeding in many diverse careers, to change his generation's culture. Black athletes there are many, but just a few artists, scientists and other professionals, he thought.
The journey started with his production house, Blue Shade Films in 2011, which generated shorts starting with'Boxing', a feature's Death on life and Mike Tyson's little known background. Short films create a sense of engagement, and Temple went on to make five distinct films. 'Black People' talked against mental slavery,'6 foot 6' revealed an inner city child fighting to change his situation, and'32' explored a high school football player. Both were'Scary Film' (featuring Hollywood star Keith Loneker), a suspense horror set in a small town, and'Juiced', a film about three young students from Kansas City caught up in gun violence.
"Making movies is a group effort, and if it wasn't for my videographers, PAs, and awesome cast, there wouldn't be a movie. I can not thank my cast and crew enough for all the love and support. Making each movie was a perfect storm and I am grateful," says Temple.
Temple's debut feature length film,'Sunday' is by his new company. The film tells the story of an Academy Award winner, who goes to Hollywood to market the film by the same title, while being in debt to a drug dealer. 'Sunday' is scheduled to be ready in October 2018, and Temple plans to sell it at the American Film Market, in Santa Monica.
