INTERVIEW BY: DEMETRIUS MIMS ALL PHOTOS PROVIDED BY: DREAM BOY VISION $

“I have directed over 40 Music video’s for many Indie artist.

I’ve done some video work for CNN, CAMRON, MIMS but

mostly local artist.”

-Maurice Paramore



UIRM: First, I would like to thank you for

being true to the art form that so many of

else love and call Hip Hop Culture. I find your

music compositions full of pure passion for

the art. So I'm truly looking forward to see

the films you create for us to see. Please

explain to our readers who is Maurice

Paramore AKA M.L.?

Maurice Paramore AKA M.L. is an hip hop

artist and music/film director who likes his

work to reflect the passion he has for the art.

I am all about creating work that is heartfelt

and/or just real. I like to tell everyday stories

that people can relate to whether it’s

through film or music. I like my work to

reflect my fun side as well as my serious side.

I think people find that my art is genuine

because it comes from a genuine person.

UIRM: How long have you been composing

songs and do you remember the first song

you ever recorded? Can you tell our readers

what that experience was like.

I started out as a Dj when I was around 13.

My mother bought me some turntables and I

found myself freestyling over instrumental

records I would buy from the store. Then one

day I wrote a song and I recorded my first

record on TAPE. We had a one track recorder

and you had to record the whole song on

ONE TAKE. I think that process sharpened my

skills an artist because you didn’t have the

luxury of multiple tracks to record. You had

one shot to get the whole song right. I think

that ended up helping me become a better

performer. However, that experience was

the first time I was able to express myself

through music being a little shy kid at the

time.

UIRM: How many albums have you released and what

was the process like releasing an album as an

Independent?

I have released one album and 2 mixtapes. My first

album called True was a special album to me that I think

people still appreciate to this day. I now have my second

album called “Unlocked Diary” coming out in April. This is

my most personal record and the fact that it’s been like 4

years since my first album, I wanted my fans to get an

understanding of where I been for sometime and hear

the growth in my music. I am also working on my 3rd

album called “Radio Box” coming out in the summer The

reason for two albums in one year is to kind of get my

fans caught up on my music. And the fact I got that

feeling back!



UIRM: The content in your music is rare compared

to most artist coming out today. I listen to your

music and hear an EMCEE. What messages or

pictures are you trying to paint for your listeners

with your music?

I think artist get caught up on trying to tell other

peoples stories and lifestyles. I am trying to show

people that you can tell your story no matter what

it is. It’s a kid out there waiting to hear an artist

that they can relate to. My content is different

because I come from a different place then most

artist that usually come from the inner city. I lived

in all white towns where I was the only black, I

lived in mixed race towns, and then went to

college where there were people from all walks of

life. I think my different environments gave me a

sense of how big this world really is, so , I try to

represent that in my music. I can talk about my

experiences in Camden then come back with a

song where I am partying with white people, and I

think people see the versatility in my music.

UIRM: When doing research for this interview I

see that you are directing video's and working on

a film. When did you decide to start directing and

why?

When I was in college I was really focused on my

music, but at the time I had no visuals to go with

my songs. Someone introduced me to the

communications department at the school where

they made videos and commercials and all that. I

know I needed a video so I took up

Communications as a major, took out a camera

and shot my own video even though I didn’t know

what I was doing at the time. After that I did a

couple more for myself and started to get better

at it. I did one video for an artist and friend of my

name Legacy and from there it started to become

a passion and finally turned into a business.

UIRM: How many video's have you directed and for

what artist?

I have directed over 40 Music video’s for many Indie

artist. I’ve done some video work for CNN, CAMRON,

MIMS but mostly local artist.

UIRM: What is your approach when it comes to

developing concepts for music video's and films?

It’s all about the lyrics for me. The lyrics are like the

script to a movie. So, without a good song and lyrics

how good can the actual video be. I listen to the lyrics

over and over and say what’s a good way to paint

this picture? What is the artist trying to say and then

I come up with scenes and a theme for the whole

video. When it comes to films I like to write about

real life themes, something that has heart or

something that I am familiar with. I’m very observant

so I just watch people and listen to their stories and

that’s how films come to me at times.

UIRM: What are the responsibilities of a music video

and film director?

For both of them you are the person who makes the

engine run. For music videos, you must find locations,

write treatments/concepts, direct and edit the videos.

With film you have even more responsibilities

because you are dealing with more people. I can

shoot and edit a music video by myself, but film you

have multiple actors and crew, budgets and more so

you have to juggle all these things. You have to make

sure the script is tight, make sure you have the right

actors, and make sure everyone is on the right page.

UIRM: What is the hardest thing about being a

director of a music video and film?

With film, the hardest thing is scheduling and dealing

with many different personalities and egos.

Scheduling is hard cause you may have to get 15

people at the same place at the same time.



Also, as a director you have the ultimate

vision, but you have to understand

actors and crew have ideas too, so it’s

finding a medium between the two. The

director makes the set run, so it’s

important to demand the respect of the

set and have people believe in your

vision. With videos, the hardest thing is

getting an artist to feel comfortable in

front of the camera. Sometimes you

almost have to turn them into actors

when they may just be used to making

records, not acting in front of the

camera.

UIRM: Do you find any similarities in

creating an album and creating a film?

Also, what are some of the similarities if

any?

I think the creative aspect is the same in

that they are both a process. There are

steps to both of them. You have to write

songs like you write the script. You have

to record the songs like you record the

actors. The big difference is that with

film, it more of a collaborative art. You

need actors to play parts and crew to

help out with equipment where music I

can produce the music, write and record

the whole album myself.

UIRM: What's your feature film about

and who's starring in the movie?

My first INDIE film is called Freestyle

love. It’s about a college student who by

being a talented rapper gets caught up

with some local gangsters who bet

money on rap battles. Wanting nothing

to do with the battles or gangsters, he

must find a way to survive, graduate,

and win a battle he wanted no parts of in the first place. It’s a

story about how hip hop, love and loyalty cross paths. The

movie stars T-Dot, Thomas Randolph, Andrew “Steezo” Banks,

Garno Pean, and Daira Guerra.

URIM: Who wrote the script for the movie and how long did

take to write?

I wrote the script and it took me 3 weeks to write Freestyle

Love. I think me being a “hip hop head” before doing films and

videos it was easy for me to tell that kind of story for the fact

that I’ve been into music since I was young. Other wise it takes

a few months to get a script to where you want it.

UIRM: When is your projected release date for this film and will

there be a soundtrack coming out with the film?

The film is available on DVD now and can be found on my

website www.dreamboyvision.com and many local stores and

mom and pop spots. There is also a soundtrack that can be

found on my website which has some great music inspired by

the film.

UIRM: What are you goals for this film project and when will

you be shooting your next film?

My plan is to bring awareness to this film and my company

Dream Boy Vision Productions as a whole. When you don’t

have a major studio backing you, it’s all about being smart,



strategic, fearless and finding different avenues to get your work out there. I think it’s a challenge to get an

INDIE film out to the world but there are ways to do so. Also, I just finished writing my next film. I am still

working on the title but it’s a really good story that I am excited to start working on. I won’t speak on what it’s

about, but I will start shooting it this April for a late year release!
