Faith. Fury. In Focus.

Two young men are working with a camera mounted on a tripod on a city sidewalk. They are crouched down, focusing intently on the camera, with a backdrop of trees, historic buildings, and a sunny sky.

A group of five young people with diverse ethnicities gathered on the steps of a building for a photo shoot. One person is sitting on the street with their back to the camera, wearing a colorful striped jacket and camouflage pants. Four others are sitting or standing on the stairs, dressed in casual streetwear, and a camera is set up facing them. The scene appears to be a casual outdoor photo session.

Filmmaking

“Working with EKLEKTIC Studios on Six Weeks Til Freedom: Proof of Concept has been an amazing experience from the start — from the passion exuded in the pre-production meetings to the intentional details being woven in post. There was something magical in watching everything come together in real time, seeing an idea on a page transforming into actual images, performances, and moments on set. Jayson brought a level of energy, professionalism, creativity, and genuine personal investment that made it feel collaborative rather than transactional. It felt like we breathed life into this project as a collective. I’m excited to see what’s next and would definitely work with them again.”

“In working on the Six Weeks Til Freedom : Proof of Concept, EKLEKTIC Studios provided a highly professional and well-organized environment. The work and project vision were constructed very intentionally and thoughtfully, also with providing the space for people in scenes to give input on what was most comfortable to them. From start to finish of the first phase of the project, it was streamlined to its best ability with also flexibility in pivoting creative choices. This was balanced very well with maintaining the core elements of the SWTF script.”

  • P. DeFreitas (2026)

“Working with Jayson and EKLEKTIC Studios was a pleasure. We brought him in to work with our students on cultural identity and creative expression, particularly within the Black community. He thoughtfully connected theater, film, poetry, art, and entrepreneurship to meaningful conversations about identity, representation, and the importance of telling our own stories. His ability to connect those ideas to Hollywood and the broader entertainment industry made the discussions relevant and engaging.

What stood out most was Jayson’s genuine passion for both his craft and sharing his knowledge with young people. He brought creativity, care, and enthusiasm to the experience, encouraging students to recognize the value of their voices and cultural backgrounds. We truly appreciated the perspective he brought to our program and the opportunity to explore these important topics through the arts. It was a positive, meaningful experience, and we would gladly recommend working with Jayson and EKLEKTIC Studios.”

“Julian’s power is not the camera. It is what he chooses to capture with it. It is an inherited duty beyond himself.”

“Six Weeks Til Freedom is rooted in a New York City that feels lived in, eclectic, dangerous, stylish, and full of possibility. The visual language draws from four distinct cinematic and cultural references that establish the world, energy, and emotional temperature of the story.”

“Who is Julian before his film camera goes into focus? Who is the USC bound kid from Ralph Avenue? The Polo aficionado. He is a boy in love. An ambitious son who wants to earn his way to a full scholarship despite his affluence. He is flawed, gullible and a martyr to New York City.”

“For Six Weeks Til Freedom, that influence lives in the atmosphere. The city should feel like it is constantly moving, even when Julian is standing still. Light, fashion, music, crowds, and nightlife become part of the storytelling. A blissful overstimulation.”
