Episode 32: Dexton Deboree

PROMISELAND – a new six-episode docuseries on Crackle -- shines the spotlight on the evolution of Ja Morant, as he attempts to navigate his way to NBA super-stardom amidst the backdrop of a global pandemic and widespread social unrest and renewed player activism.

PROMISELAND follows Morant’s journey as he defies the odds to win Rookie of the Year. Along the way, he becomes, not only an inspiration for NBA fans, but for people all over the world, as he becomes a sports celebrity and an example of what a young superstar athlete can be.PROMISELAND was created and directed by Dexton Deboree. Dexton wrote, directed and produced the award-winning feature film Unbanned: The Legend of AJ1 about the Air Jordan 1 shoes which ultimately changed the game of basketball.

Episode 2187: Dexton Deboree director of Crackles' Original Docuseries PROMISELAND

Dexton Deboree, Founder &amp; Chief Creative Officer of Falcon, and director of the award-winning documentary, "Unbanned: The Legend of the AJ1", joined the podcast to discuss storytelling, entrepreneurship and the role of filmmaking in sports culture. A lost youth in Florida, Dexton didn't have a path. He was unsure of his future; however, a revelatory moment in the middle of the night in college changed him forever and led him to creative pursuits and a transfer to a film school. Obsessed with the idea of being a screenwriter, Dexton became fixated on writing—almost to a fault—believing that if he wasn't writing he wasn't pursuing his destiny. This caused him to nearly miss out on a breadth of experience he would later gain as a P.A., which led to a wealth of knowledge about the business of film. Listen in as Dexton shares stories about the early years of his career and how his unorthodox path led him to eventually buy and rebrand a studio, and later leave that studio to found Falkon®. Dexton shares the things he's learned being an entrepreneur in film, including how unpredictabe business is and how no one truly has things figured out. Lastly we discuss two films Dexton wrote, directed and produced: "Unbanned: The Legend of the AJ1", a film about the legendary sneaker and its alleged banning from the league featuring numerous interviews with famous personalities at Nike, the NBA and entertainment; and "Promiseland", a docu-series following 2019-20 NBA Rookie Ja Morant as he ventures through the first year of his pro basketball career which happened to include Covid-19 shutdowns, the NBA bubble, social justice issues and winning Rookie of the Year. Mentions Include:  Dexton on IG Falcon on IG Falcon Website 'Range' by David Epstein Los York Episode 110 with Barton Damer Jimmy Smith, Ad Legend The Art of Flight documentary Unbanned: The Legend of the AJ1  My next guest is Jessie Kavana, a Senior Designer for BSE Global, the company that owns the Brooklyn Nets, Barclays Center, NY Liberty, NY Islanders and more.
