On his way to becoming one of the hottest young filmmakers in America, Rhyan LaMarr has proven just about every self-motivational cliché in the book.

He was raised by divorced parents who struggled in two separate households, went to a high school where almost nobody looked like him, buried more friends then he cares to count, and lived in a U-Haul on the streets outside L.A. before scoring his first movie deal.

The man knows how to keep the faith, believe in himself, and never lose sight of where he came from. Now, he seems to say that we can all just get along.
