Janks Morton
"The most prolific African American Filmmaker of this generation, that 90% of African Americans have never heard of..."
JANKS MORTON is a groundbreaking international and award winning Documentarian. As founder of iYAGO ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, LLC, he states "the company came into existence to reflect both the conscious and unconscious soul of Black America". JANKS MORTON has been in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years and is a much sought-after teacher, lecturer, commentator and motivational speaker. He has convened workshops, seminars and served as panelist and keynote speaker at colleges, universities, prisons, conferences, churches and community centers around the world.
In delivering his feature length documentaries, JANKS MORTON has taken on the role of producer, director, cameraman, lighting, editing, mixing, entrepreneur, graphic artist, actor, auteur and more. The call to action through one simple question "Are there more black men in jail or college?" challenges not only Black Americans, but every American, to rethink their perceptions about Black Male Identity.
Because of the extensive and pervasive amounts of misinformation around Black Men in popular culture, the statistically supported revelations of his films have been critically acclaimed by BET, TV-ONE, CNN, C-SPAN, EBONY & ESSENCE MAGAZINES, THE WASHINGTON POST, ROLAND MARTIN'S WASHINGTON WATCH, THE TOM JOYNER MORNING SHOW, THE LA TIMES, RUSS PARR, MICHAEL BAISDEN and numerous of other media outlets. He states "That I would have to make films, just to prove that black men are not in the dire state that some would have you believe, demonstrates the con fusion that exists in America today."
