Armani Ortiz, a Bronx-born Afro-Latino director, writer, and actor, effortlessly merges his unique perspective with his exceptional talent and unparalleled work ethic. As Tyler Perry boldly proclaimed, "Once the world can see what he can do, it’s going to blow some people’s minds."
Writer, actor, filmmaker, studio head, and media titan Tyler Perry is America’s consummate multihyphenate. But underneath this entertainment behemoth is a man working humbly to heal his childhood trauma by transforming his pain into promise. Maxine’s Baby: The Tyler Perry Story, a nod to his mother’s love, is a tender and intimate portrait of visionary and innovator Tyler Perry: his harrowing but faithful road to the top of an industry that didn’t always include him. With unfettered access, first-time directors Gelila Bekele and Armani Ortiz lead us into the inner world of a man whose story has never fully been told as he becomes a father and a media mogul with a mission to pave his own road to the top. The product is a profound lesson on remembering where you came from to know where you want to go.
