In conjunction with Rainforest Films, Symmetry Entertainment produced and released the popular Motives 2 film. It’s been three years since Emery Simms was wrongfully imprisoned for a murder he didn’t commit. Emery’s best friend Brandon (Blakemore) and ex-wife Connie (Fox) are now married, running a successful restaurant and nightclub in Atlanta. Their lives change dramatically, however, when Simms is killed in prison and new evidence emerges as to Brandon’s role in the framing of his friend. When Emery’s estranged brother Donovan (White) enters the picture, he becomes determined to unearth the explosive truth behind his brother’s downfall. New motives, deceptions and lies are revealed, but the closer Donovan gets, the deeper he’ll get himself into trouble and the possibility of lying in a grave, right next to his brother.

“I meet people all the time with a desire to be a director and/or a producer but most don’t know the difference in the job responsibilities, so I thought I would take this time to define the two in laymen terms.”
Dianne Ashford is a film producer who has a long compendium of films and owner of Symmetry Entertainment in Atlanta, GA. She is a producer for Rainforest Films who is responsible for the films Stomp The Yard, Stomp The Yard 2, Obsessed, and other major films. She is an award winning film producer and outright beautiful and caring person.
“I meet people all the time with a desire to be a director and/or a producer but most don’t know the difference in the job responsibilities, so I thought I would take this time to define the two in laymen terms.
Directors are creative people. They provide direction to virtually every department on the set from the cast to the locations. They consult with the wardrobe department on the style of the characters. They meet with the Art Department on the look and design of the sets. They collaborate with the Director of Photography (DP) on the visual look of the film and the camera movement (pan left to right, tilt up or down). They are concerned with all things in front of the camera. They provide the vision.
Producers are action people. We do everything in our power to make the Director’s vision a reality. Our world is behind the camera. We negotiate deals with actors, hire the crew and maintain the budget. We are the point of contact for all things right or wrong (mostly wrong) on a set. We are the most celebrated and hated people on the set; The Kings and Queens of “NO”. Not the most glamorous job, but somebody has to do it! That’s where I come in J!
In essence, both jobs are crucial to the movie making process but they are two totally different beasts and I’ve only given you a small look into some of the real responsibilities! No two days are the same, there are challenges both must face on the daily basis but that’s why the movie making business is so magical and that’s why you have to LOVE what you do to do it!”

If you have a good 60 minutes, this interview with Rainforest Films’ CEO and Filmmaker, Will Packer, will not only inspire your creativity but it will really put you up on game and how to go from nothing to a whole lot of something. Director Rob Hardy and Producer William Packer created Rainforest Films in 1994, on the eve of the success of their first film Chocolate City. Shortly thereafter, the duo began producing a myriad of corporate pieces as their film was distributed to video stores.
One of their most successful projects, Stomp The Yard (Sony/Screen Gems), grossed over $65 million dollars and held the #1 position at the box office for two weekends in January of 2007. Later that year the company produced This Christmas (Sony/Screen Gems), which made $50 million dollars. The success of both projects landed the duo amongst the Top 25 Entertainers and Moneymakers according to Black Enterprise Magazine (January 2008).
If you have a good 60 minutes, this interview with Rainforest Films’ CEO and Filmmaker, Will Packer, will not only inspire your creativity but it will really put you up on game and how to go from nothing to a whole lot of something. I dive deep on Beyond the Bling Radio with my guest Will Packer. Must listen to audio interview but only when you have time to listen.
