About Me

MAURICE JAMAL IS A DIRECTOR-WRITER-PRODUCER, who's groundbreaking work can be seen in both film and television. He is the creative mind behind the landmark film THE SKI TRIP (MTV's LOGO Network). His second film, DIRTY LAUNDRY is an award winning family dramedy that has created an amazing buzz across the country and throughout the industry. Starring LORETTA DEVINE, ROCKMOND DUNBAR, JENIFER LEWIS, SOMMORE, TERRI J. VAUGHN and JAMAL himself.
In 2001, with no job, no money and no apartment, he sold his furniture, broke his lease and brought a one-way ticket to New York City to pursue his dreams. A classically trained Shakeperean actor and accomplished slam poet, he made enogh money to eat, by winning poetry competitions across NYC.
His first break was on the feature-film Spider-Man. Hard work and tenacity led to a steady line of gigs, where he proved his production skills and talent, on major network TV shows and academy-award winning films. In a short period he developed a lenghty and impressive list of credits, most notably the smash hit CHAPPELLE'S SHOW (both in front and behind the camera).
UP NEXT: TWO NEW FILMS AND TWO TELEVISION SHOWS. All hitting in 2007!
