ABOUT DON


Following a decade and a half of honing my skills in live video production, streaming, lighting, stage design, motion graphics, writing, producing, directing, and editing, I chose producing and editing—a Preditor, for short.

In 2011, I founded Point Light Pictures in Jacksonville, Florida. 2015 brought a leap of faith, ultimately landing us on the opposite end of I-10/The 10—Los Angeles, California. Being a small fish in the big pool of film and media professionals in Hollywood could be compared to Jamaica's first arrival at the winter Olympics with a bobsled team, but I'm a firm believer in pursuing one's sensed purpose in life. So, with prayer and perseverance, I continued through each challenge—gaining a little bit thicker skin but an increasingly bigger heart for both the process and the wonderful people with whom I get to work!

Now, several years later, I can reflect on numerous magical moments encountered through partnering on some really fun branded/commercial projects for businesses, nonprofits, and Fortune 500 companies, and I plan to continue growing our network to provide more work for creatives while empowering organizations to tell their stories! Additionally, as a Development Producer, I'm on a mission to assemble and pitch narrative entertainment projects for film, television, and streaming platforms.
