I appreciate it. I appreciate it. 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:22.240 Now talk to me a bit, because I mean, we 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:29.600 know you Duvall as comedian, actor, social media commentator, Like, 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:31.000 what do you call what you doing social? 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:35.080 I call this the Duvall effect. I do what most 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:37.280 people don't do. You know what I'm saying. I'm like 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:40.400 a trail blazer that there wasn't nobody did what I 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:42.200 did before. So that's why it's hard to kind of 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:44.399 put me in a box because you know, I create 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.840 the lane. But now moving on to being like a 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:51.360 producer like on my Tyler period, Marlon Wayne's type all 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.400 the Wayne's brother type thing, and I'm doing it with 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:56.640 my man Eric over Swirl because you know, you might 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.280 as well get with somebody that's already been in the game, 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:01.600 already on they things. So I figured we put our 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:03.960 hands together, we can come out and take this to 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:05.240 a whole nother level. 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:07.440 One hundred percent. And you mentioned Eric. 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:10.200 We have Eric here as well Swell Films. Talk to 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:14.040 me as a bit about you, Swell Films and how 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:17.440 you got teamed up with Little Duval and figuring out 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:19.440 this new horror that we're bringing to theater. 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:23.079 Oh yeah, I think the team up is organic. We 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:26.320 did a comedy special with Little Duval a few years back. 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:31.000 I'm a producer here in Atlanta, Georgia, make a lot 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:34.079 of TV movies and a lot of independent films, and 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.440 it was just time. We were looking for something that 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:41.320 could capture Duval everything that we see Duvall do on 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:44.600 Instagram with Erica and Jay Ski, and we just wanted 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:46.920 more of those moments, you know, and you just get 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:49.040 those quick little bites. So we were like, what could 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:52.240 be a vehicle where we could see more of that? 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.640 And so we created this horror comedy where some people 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.480 play themselves. Some people actually play characters in the you know, 0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:00.800 in like money Back Mafia plays Eric the t bone 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:04.680 in there, Duval, Eric and Jaski play themselves. So that 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:07.360 that became the vehicle that we used to bring it 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:07.919 out to the world. 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.280 Talk to me a bit about the long line and 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:13.840 the premise of the film, right, because it's called Camp Duvall. 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:15.839 Everybody come in and hang out and then things get 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.400 a little crazy, which is very Duval esque. But I 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:20.680 mean it's like getting crazy crazy, right, Like you have 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.480 a plot that there's there's blood, there's screams, there's all 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:24.919 the things. 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.000 So talk to me a bit about you know what 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:27.799 the story is. 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:30.679 It's just people dying and stuff. You know, we're trying 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:32.680 to hope they don't die. You know, it ain't that 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:34.160 much stought. We don't want to make it like it's 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:36.440 gonna be a deep movie like we black. 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:37.920 People die in horror films. 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:39.400 Yeah, that's all that matter. 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:41.560 People die, we laugh, they have a good time, and 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.760 luckily you don't die while watching it. 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:46.720 Why why this genre? 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:47.080 Uh? 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:49.120 You know right now, like I think a lot of 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:51.960 people are doing and dabbling and I know a little 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:55.160 real we just saw what happened with scary movie and 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:58.200 they're come back to the box office like for Duval. 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:00.680 Why do you stick get your toe in this right now? 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:03.400 Well, I've always been in the scared movies.

And then it was 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:15.600 just I just felt like it's a good thing for 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:19.159 me to transition to horror films and I adapt to anything. 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:22.080 I mean, and when you do horror films, you can't.

A lot more common nowadays that people 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:12.240 that have a platform like a Duval, who can get 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:14.280 straight to the consumer and have been doing it for years, 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:17.120 are like, I want to go right to I want 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.880 to put this out myself. You see Country Wayne doing 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.319 it and it has had a lot of success there 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:25.360 as well. To talk about the business behind staying independent 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:27.160 when you have built a platform our family like we 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:29.560 do vaus talking about everywhere you go, I. 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.240 Think that's what's important, right. And we shot this movie 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:35.440 last year, so we shot it really pre the success 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:38.719 of all of the box office films that came from creators, 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:42.880 whether it was Iron Lug, Obsession, Back Rooms that was 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:46.280 really a studio movie. We already had our can and 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:47.880 I think this is just going to be a testament 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:52.720 to show what someone like Duval can do and take 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:54.680 directly to their audience. And we don't have to be 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:57.480 inside a system that's giving us rules and telling us 0:09:57.480 --> 0:09:58.760 what we can do and what we can't do. We 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:00.720 don't have to wait on script. We don't have to 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.960 wait on that editorial notes. It's literally we're making it together. 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:05.839 He looks sad and signs off, and then we move 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:06.600 on to the next thing. 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:07.040 I mean. 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:09.800 And he's an amazing partner because he lets me do 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:11.760 my part and he does his part. He shows up 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:14.040 just you know, with these interviews. This is what it 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.280 takes now to carry the movie across the line right 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:18.839 making it as well taking it to the audience. Like 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.680 the HBCU idea is a phenomenal idea. We should absolutely 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:24.719 do an HBCU tour with the movie as well. And 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:26.199 the other thing that we did about in the movie 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.599 is we created a whole ecosystem so we have merchandise. 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:33.960 Duvall and I own the rights to our killers uh name, 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:36.800 image and likeness, so we can we can then franchise 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:40.120 we want. So all the sound design and the sound 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.240 effects in the movie are gonna come out for sale 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.880 under Duval. So everything in the movie is an ecosystem 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:49.720 to monetize and all video game. We got a that's right, 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:52.360 we got a video game that's an app store camp 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:54.959 du valls on. It's live on Android right now, it's 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:58.360 getting ready to come through on iOS. We look, look, 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:00.720 we have pillows. We have pillows that we made, so 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.080 right we should we need to send her one so 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:03.760 we can put one. 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:05.520 We got. 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:07.040 Yeah, we can put some in this studio, and we 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:08.959 get to put some at the breakfast club studio too. 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:11.160 I need to make sure I'll get your address from 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:12.840 the publicist so that way we can send them to you. 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:15.280 So yeah, we're just trying to create a full ecosystem 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:19.160 where it doesn't take what it takes. You know that 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:21.160 when the big machine gets a hold of it, it 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.200 takes a lot to be able to make a little 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:26.800 And you've really about the talent in this movie. There 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.320 there are many rap speeches that I could post where 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:30.960 everybody at the end of it thanks to Ball for 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:34.079 giving them an opportunity, giving them a platform, always supporting 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:38.480 them as they grew into their careers, and so this 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:40.360 is his way to get back. Everybody has back end 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:42.200 on the movie, and this is we hope to do 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:44.040 this at least, you know, twice a year. I mean, 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.400 there shouldn't be a reason why we can't make our 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:48.560 own films. He came up with a great idea yesterday, 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.160 for one, and that's really how you go. He should 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:53.400 come up with the idea, We make the movie, we 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:54.920 take it to the people, and we live and die 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:56.640 a by whether the people like it or not and 0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:59.800 not whether an executive likes it and allows us to 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:01.160 go to the next day. 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:05.679 Who's casting and uh, you know, building the writer's room 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:07.240 and do all you doing that as well too? Like 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:08.920 are you fully hands on them with that or is 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:09.360 it kind. 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:13.400 Of like yeah, I cast and cast the people like 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:16.440 people first, I have to cast my my try first. 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.800 So if they in my tribe, they automatically cast it. 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:21.880 Then I go with people new talents that I see 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.120 out here, because I mean, it ain't that many avenues 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.520 for us nowadays, so I feel like we have to 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:28.079 do it. So if I see some new talent that 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:31.000 I think that need a platform to take them to 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:33.040 the next level, I try to show him love. So 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:36.400 that's what I do with with with my position as 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:37.200 far as casting. 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:40.600 Yeah, in the story the story laurd like he and 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:44.560 I did this story. Russ Park ultimately wrote it for us, 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:46.800 but Doll and I created this story at like three 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:49.160 point thirty and four. He's a very early riser as 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.760 in mine, and this story was created, you know, with 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.959 four AM texts that became the script that russ Park wrote. 0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:59.480 Wow, okay, And I'm wondering do all you talked about 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:02.280 new talent and you know you talked about how do 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:05.240 all like supports He does really get in very early 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:07.960 supporting people, calling things out as he see it. And 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:11.079 I think it provides platform for people. Who's somebody right 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:13.640 now Douvall that I mean, whether it was someone you 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:15.480 put in this movie or somebody you plan to work 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:18.600 with that you feel like the Internet isn't doing enough 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:21.560 for but you can't wait to provide, Like a movie 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:24.360 outside of the Internet is a real big opportunity. 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:25.400 Person. 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:27.199 I wish you would have told me this focus. I 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:29.160 had a lot of them I can't think of right 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:29.920 off the top of my head. 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:33.360 But I feel like even when you do your Waterfall series, 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:35.440 like the music series, I find I mean, I. 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:38.240 Don't know if it's you understand this, Like, that's why 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.319 you give me a reassurance that people get it. You 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:43.240 know what I'm saying. You understand what I'm doing, what 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:47.240 the platform is for. So it's definitely to showcase new 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:49.480 talent that because like we said, we had like a 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:51.439 Living Color and all that type of stuff that gave 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:53.720 people a platform take another level. 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:55.400 And we can still do that. 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:57.960 But I think we forget because the older we get, 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.600 we most of people still hustling, but we forget there's 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:04.160 still a new talent under us that need a platform. 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.560 They look up to us, and we forget that. So 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:08.040 I feel like that's. 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:09.640 Why I come in to let him know, Like, Nah, 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:11.440 this motherfucker he is the truth. 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:12.480 Like money Bag. 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:16.800 He's funny than a motherfucker money bag Mafia.
