Filmmaker Damien D. Smith will be tackling high school molestation and sexual assault for his feature length debut, The V.
Smith has started an IndieGoGo campaign to raise funds for “The V.” The V is a high school sports drama feature film written and directed by award-winning director, Damien D. Smith.
“I wrote The V as an open love letter to blue-collar towns across America that cheer on the success of athletic glories and hometown pride despite the undercurrent of sexual abuse. With this offering, I am attempting to bring a voice to the voiceless and allow art to entertain as well as spark dialogue and debate on these taboo subjects of molestation, poverty, homophobia, and athletics.”

The St. Louis native continues to make headlines in the filmmaking world for his powerful work; lending his voice to important issues facing the black community. Smith’s latest short film, Daddy’s Big Girl, won the 2018 Gentleman Jack Reel to Real Short Film Competition presented by Jack Daniels at the American Black Film Festival, and he also is the winner of the Arts with Impact Grand Prize Award for his short “About That…”, that can be currently seen on iTunes.
As an actor, Smith has appeared in the NAACP award-winning theater production “12×9,” and television series, including, “Born Again Virgin,” and “Vital Signs.” His latest performance was in director Nijla Mu’min’s SXSW & ABFF Jury Award winning film, “Jinn.”
