Timashion “The Visionary” Jones, of TBOP Media, is a 2004 graduate of LTU and is an Emmy Award-winning filmmaker and producer from Detroit with over fifteen years of experience in independent film and documentary storytelling. He has directed and produced more than fifteen films and documentaries, including A Mirror of Deception and the Emmy-winning Cody High: A Life Remodeled Project. His work centers on youth advocacy, mentorship, and real-world impact, with recent projects including Ride 4 Equity and “Damn He Could Play: The Marcus Belgrave Story”, both focused on access, opportunity, and the power of pouring into the next generation. Jones will explore the power of film as a tool for self-definition and community impact in Detroit. Through selected clips from his narrative features and documentaries, Jones examines how Black filmmakers can reclaim and shape the narrative of their city by telling their own stories with intention, dignity, and truth.
