In 2014 James met Director Rochelle White through a mutual friend and their passion for ending police brutality and exposing policy driven policing was so dynamic that they decided to embark upon a journey together through the Middlemen production.
With 2 other projects in production, one deals with human trafficking, an issue that plaques communities of all kinds and he wants to produce more documentaries and films that deal with social injustice and civil rights issues.
