We sit down with filmmaker Jeremy “Films More” to trace his arc from Monterey Park art kid to world-traveling storyteller, a harrowing night in Rio’s favelas, and the stroke at 33 that forced sobriety, focus, and a new path into tattooing. We talk craft, business, AI pressure, and why freedom and health now define success.
• art-driven upbringing and early graffiti roots • finding direction after dead-end jobs • mentors, networking and first big travel gigs • near-miss in Rio’s favelas and street rules • culture shocks and filming risks in Dubai • deposits, cancellations and valuing your time • burnout signs and pivot toward tattooing • stroke, sobriety and rebuilding habits • redefining success as health and freedom • documentary goals and tattoo storytelling
