Writer pushes forward to achieve more during these times

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – A man of many genres, he still strives to pursue his long-time goals, even during a viral pandemic.

For Omar Tyree, who is an established writer “extraordinaire,” from Philadelphia, with accolades of honors for his books and public speaking, and who also flirts with music and film, he says, “Money Talks Louder,” is a film that he still wants to get made.

Even though a lot has slowed down during these Covid-19 Pandemic days, with many artists, businesses, schools and other places deferring regular duties, goals, and even dreams, Tyree still wants to pursue something bigger than books.

“The big difference between me being a book writer instead of a filmmaker is all the money, time, and people it takes to make a film,” Tyree states.

“Of course, I would love for many of my books to be adapted to film, but it’s very tedious process that I don’t really have the patience or the temperament to stomach. Nevertheless, we’re now working on getting those first Omar Tyree films out there, and we’re very close now,” he discloses.

For nearly a year now, everyone has been trying to figure out what is really important and essential in their lives. Even though many have been severely impacted by the virus crisis, they still continue to be resilient by finding a way to continue doing what makes them happy.

Already well-known for his most popular book, “Flyy Girl,” Tyree keeps seeking donations as fundraiser for his film, “Money Talks Louder,” which is about a “desperate college girl (who) hustles to pay for her final years of school.”

The screenplay is written, produced, and directed by Tyree under his production company called “Hot Lava Entertainment.”

He has a “micro budget of $10,000,” and wishes to fundraise more for the music soundtrack. The cameraman, writer, producer, director and the editor are all priorities of the execution for the production, he said.

Also, the “popularity of the acting talent for marketing is the priority of the investors,” he explained.

Tyree hopes to start shooting within the month of January through February.
