Dreams, Humour & Christianity

Caribbean. “Everyone seems to be getting out their voices, I wanted to let my Christian voice to be heard” said Marlon Focus, self-taught videographer, actor and comedian.  The picture above depicts a scene from one of his creative pieces called “I Got Some Bad News!”. So unchristian-like right? Well, that’s why one should never judge a book by its cover.

I found out about Marlon through a post on Facebook. I saw him with the knife and his cousin (I later found out) with the shovel and was intrigued. It’s so easy to stalk people on Facebook (not something I normally do) and found a link to his videos on Youtube. Mere seconds within watching one of his videos, my sister and I started to ‘pap up’ as we say in Jamaica. No doubt he was funny!

 Marlon has a natural knack for the camera. Though he’s in the amateur stages of video production, he is doing a good job. His topics are mainly centered around his life as a man and a Christian. He talks about eveyday issues that everyone can relate to. His videos are authentic, light-hearted, entertaining and sometimes thought-provoking. One such video is “Myths About Marriage” (See video below).

Marlon loves what he does. Though the journey of being a successful videographer is a rocky one, he never gives up. Every two weeks he releases a new video made by the equipment he saved to buy. His friends volunteer to be his co-stars and are some of his biggest supporters. Marlon did a video thanking God, his biggest supporter when he got his new camera.

His exact words were “The Lord has seen it fit to bless me with a camera upgrade”. I have a feeling that the Lord has much more great things in store for this young man.
