Love Don’t Live here is a poetic spoken-word short film exploring generational trauma, toxic love, faith, addiction, and spiritual warfare through the fractured relationship between two sisters, Love and Divine. As Love prepares to leave, Divine begs her to stay, pray, and fight for her soul, opening a deeply personal confrontation with abuse, inherited pain, and the struggle to hold onto faith after suffering.
Written and directed by Omari Levers, the film became a visual exploration of darkness, conflict, faith, and emotional survival. I served as Director of Photography, Cinematographer, Lighting Director, Sound Recordist, Editor, and Cre-8-ive Director, shaping the film’s imagery, atmosphere, sound and visual storytelling from camera to final cut.

“IM NOT A FITNESS INFLUENCER. i’VE JUST BEEN INFLLUENCED BY FITNESS”
LIVE, LIFT, REP+EAT, is cinematic docuseries about the people behind the pursuit-the everyday individuals whose lives have been shaped, challenged, and transformed by fitness. This isn’t a series about influencers, trophies, or who can lift the most. It’s about why people show up.
The gym is a melting pot, A sanctuary, A place where different lives, backgrounds, professions, and experiences intersect under one roof, connected by the simple act of moving forward. Everyone has a reason for being there, and every reason tells a story. Whether fitness is a form of healing, discipline, escape, community, confidence, competition, or simply a commitment to becoming better, Live, Lift, Rep+Eat gives a platform to the stories that might otherwise go unseen.
In this installment, we meet Darian Ray Long, aka “Lurch”, who transformed a 350-pound frame by losing 150 pounds and carried that same discipline into his work as a high school teacher and basketball coach at Williamsburg Charter in Brooklyn New York. His philosophy is simple: consistency over everything. His story represents the heart of the series-the understanding that achievement doesn’t always mean becoming a champion or breaking a record. Sometimes, the greatest accomplishment is overcoming your own circumstances and continuing to show up.
Live, Lift, Rep+Eat celebrates the people who find strength in fitness and the stories that bring them together. Because it isn’t about being influenced by fitness. It’s about what fitness influences you to become.
