Sometimes formal training isn't necessary when you are living in your purpose. No one knows this better than the founders of MOTH Enterprise, Christopher Cowell, from Suffolk, VA, and Geoffrey Bruno, Sr., from San Antonio, TX. The two dynamic creatives are on a mission to impact lives in the Houston community with their new play, Sins of A Father.

How did you start and did you have formal training?
For both of us, we have no formal training. We decided to follow wherever God takes us and use our different minds to create our own lane and do follow wherever the spirit takes us.
What inspires you to keep going?
The primary purpose of our company, is to make a difference in our community. Seeing our brothers and sisters strive to make positive changes in their lives and the want to do better keeps us alive and the flame burning. We have so many people looking up to us and we don’t take that for granted.
What piece is your favorite and why?
It seems like everyday we come up with a new piece to work on and every single one we get excited to see it come to life.
Who is your favorite artist/filmmaker and why?
There are so many outstanding filmmakers and artists that we look to for inspiration. At the present, we are finding Jordan Peele to be one of the top inspirational artists. The mind he has, has shown to have no boundaries and no ceilings. Plus, his versatility is extremely unique. He is opening doors for the youth to step out on faith and do what you love.
Do you face any adversity while trying to live out your dream?
Everyday! Anytime we decide to do anything positive, the devil decides to turn up the fire! Hindsight being 20/20, it is amazing how God brings us out every time as long as we remain focused and faithful. Curveballs and overcoming adversity is a part of the business no matter what level of success.
