Business Spotlight: HypeVision Studios
Life is equal parts planned and unplanned. For every conscious choice we make that shapes our lives, there’s a fateful encounter or occurrence just as impactful. In the confluence of choice and chance exists HypeVision Studios.
Started by Rodney Cox and Darryl Stephens, the foundations for HypeVision began with the draft of a script. Known around town for his DJ-ing, Darryl worked on a movie script in his spare time. In discussing his script with a friend, Darryl was referred to Rodney. At the urging of their mutual friend, Rodney agreed to meet with Darryl and review his script. While Rodney saw potential in the script, he told Darryl it needed to be reworked. When Darryl returned with a revised script, Rodney knew they had something good on their hands. This revised script was the basis for their first movie, Frat House. First released in 2018, the movie is a comedy about two college friends who encounter a dangerous fraternity brother while on their way to an epic campus party. Prior to producing this movie, Rodney already had a film company, Rizm Vision, and initially urged Darryl to form one of his own, Hype Man Studios. The two eventually merged their companies together, forming HypeVision Studios.
Today, HypeVision has expanded their staff to include Line Producer Kerry Stallworth and Sales Manager Joe Tapper. They have since produced two short movies, Facemask and Black Koffee. Both movies have been selected for various film festivals, including the Florence Film Festival, the Mumbai International Film Festival, and Uruvatti International Film Festival. Additionally, Facemask has won Best Comedy at the Chicago Indie Film Awards, Best Picture at the Mumbai International Film Festival, and the Special Jury Award at the Uruvatti International Film Festival. Outside of their films, HypeVision has also produced the web series Techniqolor, a music mix show which won Best Web Series at the Hip Hop Film Festival in New York in 2020. They recently started work on a new movie, Savage, and are currently auditioning for the lead roles.
