Biografia
Born in New York and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Jamal Hill developed a deep passion for the arts, especially music and movies. This led him to study screenwriting and directing. After years of refining his skills, Hill and his mother ambitiously produced a $10,000 independent film titled "Money Power Respect," based on a 75-page script he wrote. The film was shot in eleven days with the help of three film colleagues, family members, and local Philadelphia theater actors. It won the Philly Underground Film Festival and was eventually distributed by Jeff Clanagan's Code Black Entertainment. Following its release, Charlie Mack Alston, an associate of Will Smith and Overbrook Entertainment, recognized Hill's talent and reached out to him. Hill subsequently worked on films such as "I Am Legend," "Hancock," and "Iron Man." After meeting legendary talent manager Troy Carter, Hill directed Lady Gaga's short concert film "Candy Warhol," part of "The Fame" project. In 2010, he returned to Philadelphia to direct a music-based feature film, "Streets," starring hip-hop artist Meek Mill and Nafessa Williams of The CW's "Black Lightning" (also produced by Alston). The film was released nationally on the BET network in 2012. This success led to a deal with Queen Latifah's Flavor Unit Entertainment to write and direct a series of films, including "Brotherly Love," his first theatrically released movie, which received an NAACP Image Award nomination for Outstanding Independent Motion Picture, and "Deuces," starring Larenz Tate, Lance Gross, and Meagan Good, released on Netflix. Hill is currently writing, directing, and producing original film and television content under the Philavision Entertainment banner.
