Pro Media Mag : First of all we would like to know about the start of your professional career. Who or what inspired you to get into entertainment industry
Dennis Harmon : Music has really inspired me into the film industry. Being heavily involved in the music industry, drained me a lot, and I felt it was time to pull out what I have been wanting to do for years, and that was film my own movie, and produced the soundtrack. A lot of what I do, still revolves around music in certain ways, the only difference is, and filming allows me to really embrace my creativity.

Dennis Harmon : Love or Lust is a feature romance comedy film directed by Myself. Love or lust is about a couple who meet with different past, will be tested on whether their intentions were love or just lust.

Certain audiences will understand certain humor, that I point out I think it will be funny.

Pro Media Mag : You have written, directed and also played a role in the film. It must be a tough ask?
Dennis Harmon : Yes you are absolutely right it was a tough task, nothing I couldn’t handle, but it was very mind draining. At some points it was fun, but then also challenging. I will be doing some more of that, because I enjoyed being in front of the camera a lot on set.

Pro Media Mag : What was the inspiration behind writing this film. ?
Dennis Harmon : That is a very great Pro Media Mag. A lot of my inspiration came from Gods creation, summer days, sunny, warm weather, trees, nature, such as that. I thought it would be fun to make, a romance film in the summer, where a couple meet at. Very cliché but, the idea of warm nice weather played a huge role in it.

Pro Media Mag : When it will be released and what kind of response you are expecting from the release?
Dennis Harmon : I am looking at a summer released, possibly this June. I am looking for a very well received response from critics, hoping that everywhere just enjoys it and finds it funny. A lot of people are at the edge of their seats awaiting, the release, and that brings a lot of excitement to the table.

Pro Media Mag : You have produced numerous songs and also have 4 studio albums on your credit. It seems you have deep love for music as well?
Dennis Harmon : Yes I do. Music has brought me more into the film industry, I guess you can name music as a huge impact on why I love film making. When I shoot films, I am also composing the music for everything I shoot, filming just adds another platform for producing music.

Pro Media Mag : What has been the biggest achievement in your career so far?
Dennis Harmon : So far the biggest achievement has been me being able to put this film together. This being my first, typically, filmmakers start off doing shorts, but I was able to put a 65 minute film together. From writing, picking locations, casting, funding, assembling meetings, learning the craft, it has been a journey, and to say I was able to put a feature film together is absolutely the biggest so far.

Pro Media Mag : What do you enjoy more, Films or Music?
Dennis Harmon : I enjoy Films more, although recording an Album is less work, I think Films allow me to be more creative at the end of the day, and while I am doing that, I can still throw what music I want in there. Films, I also have more control over what I do, I feel free, not having to worry about, what song, should I make to please everyone, I can just focus on just doing it.

Pro Media Mag: Our readers would like to know about your other upcoming projects?
Dennis Harmon : I have a few projects coming out, since I have a high demand for some new music, I will be releasing some new tracks, as well as another spin off love or lust. I am currently still writing the film, as well as picking the cast, I want to spend the year finishing it up, and then maybe next year we can start filming. I will also be pitching it on others projects helping out such as Davar Mcgee Director of “What A Shame” and Brian Few Jr Director of “Angels Walk” two which are really good brothers of mine, they have some good material coming out, I will be helping out with.
