Staten Island actor and filmmaker, who is son of Wu-Tang Clan's U-God, gets art grant to inspire youth storytellers

"My initial vision was to offer a place and some education for the community to come and express their filmmaking and cinematic ideas," he said. "This idea transformed into something ongoing, perpetually providing a place for people to come and express their ideas -- whether through learning editing, lighting, writing, etc. -- all aspects of filmmaking."

"Storytelling is very important. It's a way for me to express myself and be heard and also let people get to know me, so it's always been very important to me since I was a young kid," he shared.
