From Oakland burgers to box office star. đź’Ą
Back when Fruitvale Station was gearing up, a young, hungry michaelbjordan was about to take on his first lead role. Nervous but ready, he sat down over burgers and fries in Oakland, knowing it was his moment.
Fast forward — he’s now a bona fide movie star and director. And on April 18th, he’s back on the big screen in Sinners, directed by Ryan Coogler. A story about twin brothers, dark pasts, and the weight of coming home.
What makes this film hit even deeper? The team brought in real-life twin filmmakers to help Michael and the cast tap into the emotional reality of twinhood — from childhood bonds to what it really feels like when brothers fight, love, and try to outrun their past.
I had the chance to join an intimate convo with sevohanian of Proximity Media, who shared how Michael’s journey started and how the team’s commitment to authenticity shaped this story.
Never forget where you started. Always keep climbing.
