The copyright battle over Hebephrenia was not something I expected. The Mirror took undeniable damage from the bad publicity, but there were several silver linings that came out of the drama as well. With the help of several good friends, I was able to pull myself out of the fire and begin rebuilding.
We aren’t gone—although I’m sure that enrages a few people, a fact I’m rather proud of to be honest. And we have a lot more to do.
Over the next few months, I’ll be working on building a new clientele and network, moving away from film and focusing more on branding and fashion. That said, I am by no means abandoning the film side of Black Mirror Media Group. It simply was never my primary interest. I enjoy creating mini projects—reels, stills, and visual concepts. Long-form video was never my long-term focus, although I am sure we will publish more films in the future.
We have closed our studio in Railroad Square and will be focusing on building a more mobile presence. I am sure I will purchase a new building eventually, but for now my goal is to expand my portfolio and showcase what this business can do.
If you are still supporting my dream—or even just reading this blog—I truly appreciate you. I hope you stick around to see the finished product.
It is going to be pretty cool.
As more developments occur, I will continue updating this blog. However, due to the rapidly changing and evolving nature of my business, the overall focus of this blog may change as well. We are evolving and adapting to an ever-changing industry and economy, and that is shaping what Black Mirror Media Group is becoming.
Some of the ideas I founded the company on were built on things I did not fully understand at the time. That is part of building something from nothing. To keep a business like this alive—and to make it successful—it has to evolve alongside my own personal growth and journey. I sincerely hope that you, as the reader, continue to follow along.
There have been many things I never expected back in Michigan when I first started this company as TSM 776 Entertainment Media. You can laugh at the length of the name—I often do. The small mistakes I made and the growth I have experienced along this journey are lessons I would not trade for anything in the world.
The things I have overcome and the lessons I have learned along the way have been incredible, and I look forward to seeing what my little media LLC becomes over the next five years.
To my readers, followers, and supporters—thank you for everything you have brought into my life.
This journey is far from over.
And the Mirror is still standing.
