The “Strange Love movie premiere was one for the books. When you first walked in to the Regal Hollywood movie theatre in Chamblee, Ga you saw a full house of lovely dressed people of color scouring about the theater. There was a red carpet rolled out infront of the movie poster, surrounded by camera men, flashing lights, and interviewers holding microphones.

The cast of the movie showed up and showed out. For many of them this was their first movie and they handled the carpet with professionalism and grace. It was a star studded event with familiar faces such as Michael Anthony, and the lead of the movie Kountry Wayne. As well as the appearance of many up and coming actors within the rest of the cast. Kountry Wayne admitted to “Strange Love” being his first leading role and he was excited for his future in acting as he quoted, “I’m not stopping.” But his proud moment was the ability to put his co-stars in the position to achieve their dreams of acting.

He says, “it feels good to allow other people to come through this door of entertainment and to see the cast shine and get this moment means a lot to me.” In honor of the month of love and black history month, we love to see a black king paving the way for his fellow people. This movie premiere was a perfect display of black excellence at its finest and we are sure to see more from these talented people in the near future.

Joseph Nybyk (AKA Joseph Neibich) : The Creative Who Refuses to Stay in One Lane

There are plenty of people in Hollywood who talk about wearing multiple hats. Joseph Nybyk actually earns every one of them.

An award-winning writer, actor, director, and stand-up comedian, Nybyk’s career moves fluidly between creativity and commerce—between the stage, the set, and the strategy room. It’s a balance that didn’t happen by accident. Originally from Tucson, Arizona, he relocated to Los Angeles in 1997 and entered the industry through marketing at Paramount Pictures, before stepping into a creative executive role at Landmark Entertainment. There, he worked in the orbit of James Cameron and Michael Jackson, gaining a rare inside-out education on how stories are not just made—but positioned and sold.

That business fluency became a quiet superpower once performance called louder.

Nybyk left the corporate path after landing a role in Jerry Maguire, launching an acting career that would span more than fifty national commercials along with film and television appearances. But acting was only one lane. As a filmmaker, he has written, directed, and starred in numerous shorts, web series, and independent features that have screened at festivals around the world. His work has earned awards for Best Film, Best Short, Best Screenplay, and Best Director, along with Best Supporting Actor for the provocative short The Day the Rabbit Died.

His faith-based short Feeling Blessed was selected by virtually every major faith film festival and screened at two Academy Award-qualifying events. He followed it immediately with a tonal left turn—Lights Off, a horror short that landed in ten of the most prestigious horror festivals globally. That range isn’t accidental. Nybyk has always been comfortable moving between genres, audiences, and emotional registers.

His indie feature debut, Ocean Front Property, which he wrote, directed, and starred in, marked a major milestone—and set the tone for what followed. Since then, he’s continued developing and financing original projects while optioning scripts to multiple producers, staying deeply involved in both the creative and financial architecture of filmmaking.

Parallel to all of this runs his stand-up career. A veteran of the comedy circuit, Nybyk’s material blends sharp observation with personal storytelling—often pulling from his years bartending at the legendary Polo Lounge inside the Beverly Hills Hotel. His comedy has taken him to clubs, colleges, theaters, and casinos nationwide, and in 2025 he was named Best Comedian by Tucson Weekly.

Offstage, Nybyk is also the founder of the Faith in Film International Film Festival, created to champion meaningful, faith-driven storytelling in an industry that often overlooks it. He holds a Master’s degree in Film from the New York Film Academy and is a proud alumnus of the University of Arizona.

Today, Nybyk continues to balance performing, filmmaking, comedy, and development from his home base in Arizona and California. He’s proof that you don’t have to choose between art and business—and that the most interesting careers are often built in the space where those worlds collide.
