Ironically the film he was working on was director/producer George Tillman's (Soul Food, Barber Shop & Men of Honor) film "Scenes for the Soul". After the production wrapped, John Wayne continue to work with George and his partner Robert Teitel on music videos and other projects. Shortly after that, John Wayne partnered with a local director and formed a film production company. They started out shooting low budget music videos for small labels. This ventured proved quite successful, they moved from producing music video in 35mm film for $5,000 to budgets quickly escalating. During this time he went to work as a publicist for Grammy nominated music producer Steve "Silk" Hurley. Silk has worked with artist such as Michael Jackson, Prince and Madonna. John Wayne started once again off with little to no experience as a publicist and during his 3 year stint, became Director of International A&R. He setup and oversaw offices/agents in the United Kingdom and Japan. He facilitated distribution, production, publishing, artist and record deals around the world. While at Silk, John Wayne gained many contacts and built strong relationships. During this time he started JWS Productions Inc to produce music videos and TV commercials. Over the past decade John Wayne has produced/directed over 200 music video and 70 television commercials. In 2003 he signed a multi year deal to develop television program for the Colours TV network.
