Levi Otis, a filmmaker, producer & vision of film industry!!! An exclusive interview

Journalist : Please introduce yourself!!! –
Hello, my name is Levi Otis, I am a filmmaker
Journalist : What made you pursue a career in the film industry?
I was in drama club while in high school where I would write and produce short plays for the students to watch during lunch, and through college I continued drama. But it wasn’t till I graduated college and moved to Californian things changed. I was in the mall with a friend and a weird looking guy approached me about doing a commercial because he like my long hair. I took his card, I was reluctant at first, but my friend told me to give him a call and glad I did because this guy was the real deal. He booked me in a Gap promo commercial. There I met other people who were actors and I started doing background work then it branched off to small roles here and there. Once day I was working production on an indie movie set where they were only paying people a slice of pizza. I did it for the credits and to network. But this person was so rude and disrespectful that people start walking off set. At that moment I knew that I wanted to create my own content and treat people with respect. By this time, I was working at a group home where the clients had more sense than the workers. I found comedy in this and created my first web series call “underpaid” I was working on another set with Doug Spearman, an actor and producer. I had met him when he was on a popular show called Noah’s Arc, he was working on his first movie and invited me to set to be background. The way he ran his set was so professional, he treated everyone with respect from the Lead to the PA and I knew that how I wanted to run my productions. This is when I knew this was what I wanted to do forever
Journalist : What qualities should film producers have?
I think the main quality would be to know your vision and be opened to making some changes along the way if need be according to budget and locations needed. And always treat your cast and crew with respect. This is important when building a loyal cast and crew
Journalist : What aspect of the career in film making do you enjoy the most?
I enjoy the concept to bringing it to life. This has some stressful moments but worth every bit of it
Journalist : What are you most proud of in your professional experience?
The way I make people feel when they see my projects, including cast and crew
Journalist : Why are you committed to discovering new directors?
I think new directors can bring new visions. Something that you didn’t even think of. And I like being in the position to give other opportunities
Journalist : What are your projects that upcoming in next ?
KXNG D.O.P.E. I am currently shopping this, And in the next month I will be filming “The Real Nico Live” and “Case Management” season 2, then I will be finishing up writing the “BRADEN” movie
