Filmmaker and director Kevin Willmott has teamed with Outpost Worldwide – an independent film and HD video production studio – and writer David Henderson to bring a remarkable, very timely and inspiring story to television screens. It’s The Barber’s Diaries, the story of Charles Everett Ellis, who was a barber in Altamont, a small Illinois town during the 1920s, and the only black man in town. We believe we, as a nation, are at a historic time when such a story carries a profound message.

Kevin recently sat down in an Outpost Worldwide studio to talk about the importance and timeliness of the project.
