Caleb Pinkett is the hand of Overbrook
film and television Overbrook is is my
company and Caleb is Jada's brother and
he came to me and said that he wanted to
be in the entertainment industry
so I wanted job to here Caleb pink it's
story of success I was 21 at the time
just moved out from Moreno Valley where
I went to high school at and I remember
it was my first trip to New York I was
young and I'm talking to will and Jane
I'm like yo I know you guys make movies
and do it is but you know you need to be
doing something real like if I were you
I would do something like this I created
a biblical fiction tale of Cain his
curse and his eventual Redemption he
said I like that cane project he said
you might have just changed your life
maybe that thing that you just did is
innate storytelling for whatever reason
you you get it I was very surprised that
somebody who wasn't in the business has
that much innate story ability if you do
everything that I say I promise you'll
have more money than all your friends
and you'll be able to do whatever it is
that you want to do no questions asked
you listen to me you get it I'm like
okay he said all right first thing
you're skinny with a good until you have
a six-pack I'm not dealing with you and
I'm like well okay like our all-righty
says so my trainer Daryl Foster who
trained me for ollie
oh right because everybody was scared of
Darrell because Darrell is the hardest
man that ever walked this earth
originally I wasn't quite sure you know
I like to that that's Darrell foster who
now is my daughter's Godfather so that
could tell you what our relationship
came to so I go and I'm like okay I'll
work with Darrell
so he said grace call Darrell Monday get
started I called Darrell Darrell's like
yeah Fitness right so I mean Darrell 9
a.m. I'm there
he'll I test you physically mentally
spiritually emotionally I'm throwing up
I hate it right cuz I'm like stupid
that's my mind
screaming wanted me to quit wanted me to
stop dream building life building is an
athletic event I couldn't allow will to
know that I would quit or that I didn't
like it so I sucked it all up so I
refused to complain about anything I
just did everything Darrell said don't
waste my time so months go by Musco
biome with Darrow every day I'm getting
in shape I'm getting ready so my
nephew's birthday Jaden's turning eight
we're in the kitchen area and we'll
cross this room just casually laughing
talking and you'll love pull your shirt
I'm like what girls like a no-show
I was like the grasshopper is ready it
was like it's it is time he didn't eat
it no the hard part was just about to
start here we go he said so the first
thing I got to do is I need to give you
a screenwriting education and I said
screenwriting he said oh yeah we're
gonna write came together I was like
damn okay so he said the first book that
I want you to read is called a story by
Robert McKee story is like the Bible and
I mean like it's that thing it's
it's like a it's like a thousand pages
and you're like what the book and I mean
it's using words and at the time I
wasn't well-read it's a big-ass book in
the good old-fashioned sense of a
big-ass book he made me read the art of
dramatic writing by law post agree the
moral premise by Stanley Williams and he
said these are all the elements of
storytelling you don't have to put every
single element into your story but your
story will have some form of these what
does he or she want why do they want it
what's gonna happen if they don't get it
and what are the obstacles keeping them
from getting it when you can answer all
of those questions
you got a screenplay he was like mr.
Miyagi in my ass I'm not helping you
build a career we're building a Caleb by
the time I was 26 we'll was like listen
I need you at Overbrook and I was like
wow like okay
and he started me at the bottom I was
driving I was driving people I would
come to over Brooklyn like here here's
these bags take this gonna pick these
person up do this I didn't do nothing
with story I think most people would be
really surprised how few people are
actually willing to do what it takes to
achieve their dreams and caleb is wanted
a rare few that is literally willing to
do anything that a mentor tells him to
do to achieve his dreams if you can't
stand on your own you're in this world
right it's the only way you can be of
value or an asset anybody else is you
got to build you you have the power and
that is what Darrell foster taught me
through training that's what Will Smith
taught me through being my mentor so if
you want to know like all but that was
Dean like you know how you looking now
you're not saying I mean like not
everybody just walks around sub six body
fat at 38 years old every motherfu day I
created a monster
what
