Today we’d like to introduce you to Michael Pinckney.
Hi Michael, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today.
I got my start in the business as an assistant director on films such as “Inside Man” and “Precious” as well as TV shows like “Broad City” and “Law & Order CI” before transitioning to writing and directing. His feature film debut “You’re Nobody Til Somebody Kills You” was distributed by Lionsgate and Executive Produced by Spike Lee.
He wrote and directed “The Trade” the Award-Winning film about sex trafficking and the pilot for “Blue Flame”, a new series about an all-female undercover police unit. His film “God Bless You” has gotten over 3.5 million views on YouTube. Closing the year with his feature documentary “Trafficked: Survival Stories,” which delves deep into the life and journey of three survivors recently premiered on TUBI.
Along with directing the heartwarming Christmas movie, “He Who Findeth”, “6 Minutes to Glory,” a 7-part docu-series about HBCU marching bands for Aspire TV, and “Dreamhaus” the first film in his trilogy book series, which is slated for a Summer 2024 release. He also was a part of the writer’s team and directed an episode for season 3 of the anthology TV series “Terror Lake Drive” for the ALLBLK network. Up next for Michael is the TUBI original film which he wrote for MarVista Entertainment and is slated to be released in Fall 2024.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Every journey has its challenges but I welcome them. You need challenges, adversity, and heartbreak to become who you’re called to be. The biggest challenge is staying focused and consistent through all the noise, distractions, and adversity.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
The name Boogie came while I was a PA of one of Spike’s films coming up. It’s a nickname they started calling me. Then as an Assistant Director of Inside Man, the name Boogievision was birthed while on set shooting a big action scene. I adapted that name for my company and as my moniker and my director’s mantra.
What matters most to you? Why?
God. He is the center of everything for me. In my spiritual life, personal life, and professional life. It’s about living a purposeful life. Using the gifts and talents he blessed you with for his glory. I’m just a vessel and I’m led to tell stories to empower others to tell their stories and to do more God-centered films.
