We had the good fortune of connecting with Moe McCoy and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Moe, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Ever since I was 11 I had my own business once I started acting by knew that I wanted to be a part of the film industry. The only problem was that day only use me as an extra. So I started my own film company and acted in my own movies. Wanting to be in the movie made me want to be an entrepreneur.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My Art is Film. I have been told that the thing that sets me apart from others is the amount of patience that I possess and my ability to complete projects. I got to where I am today professionally through hard work and dedication. I am a creator so I must create daily, even if it is something as simple as posting one photo a day. One of the greatest lessons that I learned and teach along the way is making use of the application of Determination. Some things feel as is they came as easy as breathing others were hard lessons to learn. I want the world to know the motto that I live by: Love More, Laugh More, Give More and You’ll Live More. I (Moe McCoy) am my own brand.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If I was in Grand Rapids Michigan I would take you to restaurants such as Dippers, Load-a-Spud Potato Bar. I would take you to see places where my interest in film was heightened like GRTV and WKTV the local public access stations. I would take you to hang out at My Place night club. Yes that is the name, My Place. I travel a lot so I meet interesting people from all over but if I had to introduce you to some of the most interesting and exciting people from my hometown it would have to be my close friend DJ Napp, or Fellow Entrepreneur Tom Walker.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I definitely want to shout out the ladies on the crew staring with filmmaker writer extraordinar Andrea Tyler. She is the backbone of our company. Also filmmaker Lady Dee Meadows she is our film mom.
