Domonic Smith is a filmmaker, camera operator, editor, director, AND producer. Needless to say, we talked a lot about the film. You’ll also hear about swindling in Las Vegas, going from editing film to directing, and what it’s like to have your Nightmare On Elm Street fan trailer go viral (internet trolls included). Then, we get a taste of what it was like working on the crew for Tiger King and Domonic tells us the blueprint for the perfect movie.

“As an artist I am always aiming for that element that sets me apart [as a creator]… The result of that mindset has helped me create a special mix of commercial type visuals connected with a unique style of storytelling. I love pushing my limits, breaking down walls, and creating the new!” -Domonic “Domo” Smith
