About the Project
By Javon Bates
Starring in and producing "Common Creed" was a rewarding experience. It involved wearing two important hats: as the lead actor, I delved deep into the character's psyche, and as a producer, I managed various aspects of the production.
The script's compelling narrative explored themes of unity, sacrifice, and justice, demanding authenticity and emotional depth in its portrayal. Working closely with a talented crew, I oversaw everything from casting to location scouting, fostering a strong sense of camaraderie on set.
​
The long hours and challenges were worth it when we saw the finished product on the big screen. "Common Creed" became a powerful cinematic experience that resonated with audiences, a testament to the hard work and passion poured into it. This dual role was a journey of self-discovery, collaboration, and creative fulfillment that left a lasting impact on my career and life.
