We had the good fortune of connecting with Larry Smith III and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Larry, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
To one day build my own empire so I can become financially empowered to take care of my family.

What should our readers know about your business?
I started my film company Mustard Seed Films Ent. to share my vision with the world through film which are stories based on my books. It was not easy getting to where I am today, there were many days I wanted to quit, but I had to keep going. I hope to one day become financially empowered so I can take care of my myself and my family.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would start with Soul Food Vegan at 2901 emancipation avenue, then we would hangout downtown at some local bars and restaurants. We would definitely go to the 4 Gents Cigar Lounge.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I wanna give a shout out to my cousin Charles Lightfoot, Andrew Robertson, Rasool, and my parents!
