Sheldon Candis is an anomaly, a filmmaker whose self belief has pushed him to the top. In 2012, he directed his feature film debut of Hollywood leading man Common called "LUV" (Learning Uncle Vincent). This was the beginning of a successful career as he went on to direct 30 for 30 documentaries, NBA 2K20 video games, as well as his latest project, Colin in Black and White. We talked about how he mined his life to find a unique story that inspired his debut film. We also touched on being of service to others, how to get around the word "NO", and how to direct a video game. If you are into stories about filmmakers, artists and how to overcome obstacles– this is the episode for you.   Checkout Sheldon's on Instagram:

It’s a marathon not a sprint. Filmmaker and Director at CINEPHILE ACADEMY, Sheldon Candis, joined us for a discussion on learning to do more with less, putting in work to succeed and developing your own definition of success.

Today we’re sitting down with an imaginative and perceptive artist, writer and director, Sheldon Candis. He is a force for passionate storytelling, and is unbelievably candid and generous as he shares his personal pursuit to see his stories live on the big screen. He graduated from USC film school where he raised all his own money to produce his thesis project, he shares how he’s continued to fund the production of his art, and how he managed to stay focused and inspired, even when the people writing the checks weren’t quite convinced of his writing and directorial abilities. He continued to press through, never giving up, as he fought for the opportunity to share his stories. From his 10 years on set as a production assistant to the 56 different drafts of his directorial debut, LUV, he’s stayed committed to developing his authentic voice and staying in the game, in the highest of highs---his film premiering at Sundance, to the lowest of lows, and in every moment in between. He shares how he was able to manage the pressure of directing artists like Common and Dennis Haysbert as a first-time director, and how he found and continues to re-discover the power to define himself and pursue his passion---to tell stories that unite humanity and empower and inspire people from every background. Baltimore native Sheldon Candis is a graduate of the USC School of Cinematic Arts. Candis recently created and directed the docu-narrative series ‘I WILL WHAT I WANT’, a cinematic portrait of ballet phenom Misty Copeland for Under Armour. Candis’ documentary THE DWELLING, chronicles the lives of two homeless men living along Tokyo’s Sumida Gawa. The film is being distributed by Scion and Giant Robot magazine. Candis’ feature directorial debut LUV (which he also co-wrote) was an official selection in the Sundance Film Festival Dramatic Competition. He assembled an incredible cast including Common, Charles S. Dutton, Dennis Haysbert, Danny Glover, Meagan Good, Michael K. Williams and a wonderful 11-year-old breakout talent named Michael Rainey Jr. IG: @sheldoncandis
