A Passionate Quest

Motown Maurice, The Future of Late Night Televison

My superpower fuels my passion. I have an extraordinary ability to bring people together.

I'm what they call a conduit, a connector built to inspire and entertain. I began developing my gift in high school and college in various leadership roles. An accumulation of my accomplishments evolved into a passionate pursuit, which is now my destiny. I'm The Future of Late Night Television, on a quest to host my own nationally syndicated late-night talk show.

On January 23, 2010, my journey began in front of a live studio audience in Tampa, Florida. I mobilized over 50 volunteers, maxed out four credit cards, and recruited a sponsor to make The Motown Maurice Show a reality. The show's immediate success earned me a Key to the City presented by the Mayor of Tampa. Later that year, I relocated to Los Angeles, trailblazing toward my ultimate destination.

I quickly signed with a talent agency, naively thinking that was all I needed for late-night show offers to start rolling in. Soon after, I realized that's not how the industry works. As a result, I returned to what I do best—bringing people together and telling my story. Within four years, I recruited over 100 cast and crew then created a web series entitled The Late Night Experiment. Later remastered as a TV series, along with a behind-the-scenes docuseries, Talk About A Meal. They're currently streaming on Vimeo on Demand and will soon go live on Tubi, Plex, and ZuZu. Money was not the original motivation to create content. I wanted to share my story. Now this version of my story is monetized on those platforms, with additional viewing options on the way.

A lot of people believe there’s a formula for making dreams come true. No such formula exists. My supporters follow me because I've created my own blueprint and I’m willing to embrace the unknown. I have a magnetic positive energy that evokes joy. I thrive to entertain, inspire, motivate and challenge my audience. Our paths may be different but the passion is mutual. My style is unique and my voice is authentic. I’m straightforward and comfortable sharing my successes and disappointments. Others follow me because they’re curious or they think I'm crazy. It's hard for most folks to comprehend how a person can believe they will achieve such an enormous feat.

Enter Eleven Thirty-Five! A film that will inspire, entertain, motivate and most importantly, pay tribute to everyone that supported my projects over the years. Eleven Thirty-Five is not the typical journey to Hollywood story. My autobiographical, comedic hero's journey embodies the strength of the human spirit and the power of a united community. My quest to become a nationally syndicated late-night talk show host personifies unwavering power, devotion, diligence, perseverance, and commitment.

The process of making this film brings true fulfillment to my two most pressing desires; job creation and a cinematic outlet of inspiration. Moving forward, I plan to monetize exclusive behind-the-scenes content and essential filmmaking strategies with my audience. Starting with my journey to make a feature film which I will use to pave a path toward my late-night throne. People should support my passion because I represent every man and woman that dares to make their dream a reality. Eleven Thirty-Five is my game-changer. It will introduce my story to the world and usher in my era as a nationally syndicated late-night talk show host.

My team and I are currently in pre-production. Our goal is to begin production later this year. We are excited and can’t wait to share more of our process. Thank you for your time and continuous support.
