Born in New York, but raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Jamal Hill was fascinated with all of the arts particularly music and movies. As a result he studied screen writing and directing. After years of studying and honing his craft Hill and his mother ambitiously produced a $10,000 independent film entitled "Money Power Respect" from a 75 page script he wrote. He shot it in eleven days with three of his film colleagues and local Philadelphia theater actors. The film won Philly Underground Film festival and was ultimately distributed by Jeff Clanagan's Code Black Entertainment. Soon after its release a Will Smith and Overbrook Entertainment associate Charlie Mack Alston reached out to Hill about his talent. Subsequently, Hill began working on films such as "I Am Legend", "Hancock", "Iron Man" and directed Lady Gaga's "The Fame" short concert movie. In 2010, Hill returned to Philadelphia to directed a music based feature film entitled "Streets" starring hip hop star Meek Mill also produced by Alston that was released nationally by the BET network in 2012. As a result he landed a deal with Queen Latifah's Flavor Unit Entertainment to direct a slate of films, including "Brotherly Love" his first theatrically released film that was nominated for an NAACP IMAGE AWARD for Outstanding Independent Motion Picture . Hill is currently writing, directing and producing original film and television content under the Philavision Entertainment Group banner.
