  • Season 3 Episode 07 | 307 Special Guest: Jaromir “J” François Website/Information: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/th... Episode Description: This episode felt like hanging out with family, creator Jaromir 'J' François author of works such as “My Brother, Teddy” and “Napoleon from the Machine”, J brings his unique perspective and rich storytelling to the forefront. Straight from our hood Washington Heights, NYC, sharing some of the overall life setbacks when COVID-19 hit, it paradoxically provided the break J needed. During this time, “My Brother, Teddy” came to life, giving him a new high and a fresh question: what's next? Creating his own lane and reaching out to network executives on his premium free trial LinkedIn he was called in to pitch “The Alien Heroes” to top television producers from nickelodeon, gaining valuable insights despite initial rejections. Rather than being discouraged and shelving the project, J rediscovered his storyboards and decided to pivot to creating another comic book. Teaming up with the talented artist Tony 'Ghoulsroom' Tirado, he brought his characters to life. This marked the beginning of a new journey. Join us for an inspiring conversation as Jaromir 'J' François discusses his creative process, the highs and lows of his career, and the resilience it takes to bring one's vision to life. __________________TABLE OF CONTENTS____________________00:00 00:00:04 Pre show banter 00:01:09 Intro 00:02:57 Intro - Dre Drizzo 00:03:38 Intro - Ramz McFly 00:05:06 Intro - Guest 00:06:57 Jaromir François 00:08:36 Spanish alphabet 00:09:48 Haitian Names 00:12:42 Juniors 00:15:14 My Brother Teddy 00:21:36 Artistic Lineage 00:24:28 Time and Money to Day Dream 00:27:28 Short Film - The Cycle 00:29:57 Handing in the script 00:31:23 Why not write a novel? 00:33:13 Random J fact 00:35:24 I'm working on a Comic Book 00:37:20 Connecting with Illustrators 00:39:46 Sharing artistic direction 00:42:20 Growing from challenges 00:44:26 TMNT comic book life goal 00:49:22 Doing Tampa Bay Comic Con 00:51:33 Orlando Comic Con 00:53:58 Meeting Scott Snyder 00:56:04 Stan Lee Story 00:58:20 Getting stuff authenticated 01:01:26 Ramz meeting John Leguizamo 01:03:16 Dressing up for Comic Con? 01:06:01 Shifting from Consumer to Creator 01:07:03 Black characters in indie comics 01:09:20 Growing up conditioned to accept certain looks 01:10:45 Knowing the cost of a comic book 01:12:24 Animation Cost Money 01:12:55 Pitching a cartoon show 01:14:45 Rockin' the free Premium LinkedIn 01:18:52 Wanting to do more 01:20:32 Marvel or DC? 01:34:15 LCFW - Dre Drizzo 01:34:51 LCFW - J 01:36:27 LCFW - Ramz 01:37:35 LCFW - Ron Kain Record date: 03.30.24 LINK IN BIO ON MOST PODCAST APPS STREAM VIDEO ON @spotify | @youtube Guest Social | IG @sky_surfer117 Host Social | IG @ron.kain | @dre.drizzo | @ramzmcfly --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/justwordsnobodycares/support
