Director Desmond Faison spent the majority of his artistic career focused on sociopolitical, short form branded content and moving portraiture. He boasts narrative, commercial, and new media collaborations with clients such as Nike, Lionsgate, and Issa Rae Presents, as well as collaborations with sport and celebrity icons like LeBron James, Kevin Hart, the late Kobe Bryant, and Emmy Award winner Lena Waithe, among others.

Production partnerships include: NBA megastar Paul George (Executive Producer), Low Spark Film (Emily the Criminal - as a production company), CAA, and most recently, Desmond was in Atlanta, directing his second and third episodes of Scripts/Bounce TV's all-time highest-rated scripted series, Johnson.

Having spent the majority of his formative years living in the cracks of the great American experience whether in inner City North East Portland or under the Big Sky of Montana State University, Desmond has had the privilege of having lived or been a part of an uncommon breadth of the American story. Although at the time some of these experiences often made adolescence quite difficult, it was in these crevices that he developed his strong sense of empathy, understanding, passion for justice and a unique talent for telling stories encompassing wide ranging, universal, truly diverse and authentic points of view.

Now as a creative, new media pioneer and elected local official in Los Angeles, Faison continues to use his one of a kind voice combined with his atypical lived experiences to tell authentic, responsible, timely and relevant, socially driven stories every bit as unique as his own.
