Jamal Mcwhorter

Jamal McWhorter is an actor turned film producer/director born and raised in Atlanta, GA. With a strong passion for making quality films, Jamal starts with a great story and bring it alive with eye-catching visuals. Dramas, horrors, and comedies are the genres he loved growing up, and he likes to have fun with those elements of his films today. In 2013 he wrote, produced, and starred in his first production LOUD, a semi-autobiographical tale about a young musician trying to make it. Shortly after completing the movie, Jamal and his business partners started L.O.U.D. Films, an indie film company committed to excellent storytelling. His upcoming feature-length directorial debut Switched at Love, a romantic comedy set in Atlanta, is set for release in late 2019. Jamal lists Ice Cube and Seth Rogan as two of his biggest influences. "I just love how they just made their own lane", he says about the two megastars. "They both laid their foundations making interesting projects, featuring themselves in leading roles. And their movies became huge. For someone who acts as well as produce, it's a genius route to take".
