Calmatic Is Bringing Classic Los Angeles Stories To A New Generation

For Calmatic, the route to feature films included roadblocks, reroutes, and detours. However, his belief in his creative journey has certified him in his own lane. Before directing music videos for artists such as Kendrick Lamar and Lil Nas X, the South Central native wanted to be in their shoes. He began his quest with a hopeful rap career, releasing music under a stage name he refuses to reveal. Still, while working on his rhymes and forging relationships in the Los Angeles mixtape scene, Calmatic realized his other talents and went to work behind the camera.
