We recently had the opportunity to check-in with Michael Carter, here’s our One-on-One exclusive…
SM- Tell us about what you’re currently promoting?
Im currently promoting my newest movie, MAAB Chixs. This story was inspired by a young lady I observed, and it explores deep themes of family dynamics, love, revenge, respect, and communication. The film takes viewers on a journey filled with twists and turns as the family works to uncover the truth, navigate heartbreak, and ultimately find resolution and peace in the midst of tragedy.
SM- What continues to be the motivational factor for you?
I am driven by purpose. Every story I create, every film I release, every vision I bring to life is a reflection of my resilience and my legacy. I am motivated by the people who believe in me, the loved ones I carry in my heart, and the community I represent.
My work is more than entertainment—it is a statement, a voice, and a testament that nothing can stop someone determined to rise. Recognition is not my destination but a sign that I am on the right path. My true motivation is leaving a mark that inspires, empowers, and endures beyond me. I don’t just chase success—I build legacy.
SM- What was the most challenging thing you had to overcome to get to where you are now?
The most difficult challenge I ever faced was losing my mother. She was my reason, my strength, and the heart behind everything I did. Her passing tested my focus, my determination, and my sense of purpose. But through the pain, I carry her with me. Every achievement, every project, every step forward is a tribute to her love and sacrifice. My family—my children—are my living legacy, and I honor my mother by continuing to create, to rise, and to leave something lasting for them. My work is not just art—it’s healing, it’s legacy, it’s love. Her spirit fuels me to keep pushing, to keep building, and to never lose sight of the reason I began this journey.
SM- What values are important to you when it comes to building your business?
My business is built on loyalty, trust, and commitment. Loyalty means standing by those who stand by me—valuing relationships and building partnerships that last. Trust is the foundation of everything I do. Without it, no deal, no vision, and no team can thrive. Commitment is my promise—to give my all, to stay consistent, and to see every project through with integrity and passion.
SM- Was there anyone in your circle that contributed to making this campaign a success?
My family and friends have been the backbone of this journey. Their belief in me, their encouragement, and their unwavering support turned this campaign into a success. I don’t walk this path alone—every step I take is strengthened by their love and faith in what I do. I am also deeply grateful to the city of Jacksonville for showing me so much love. This city has poured into me, and in return, I strive to represent it with pride, dedication, and excellence. Together—with my family, friends, and community—I am reminded that this journey is bigger than me. It is about us, about legacy, and about building something that reflects all of our strength.
SM- What can people expect from you next?
They can expect a major come up. This is only the beginning. I am committed to creating more projects, telling more stories, and providing an avenue that brings opportunities back to Jacksonville. This city is full of raw talent, creativity, and brilliance that deserves to be seen. Through my work, I will continue to open doors, shine a light, and give others a platform to rise. My vision is bigger than me—it’s about elevating my community, showcasing the voices that need to be heard, and proving that Jacksonville has something powerful to offer the world.
SM- What is one final thought that you want to leave with our readers?
Don’t ever give up on your dreams. If you say you’re going to do something, don’t just talk about it—do it. The only person standing in the way of your success is you. Discipline, focus, and action turn dreams into reality. I live by the belief that excuses don’t build legacies—commitment does.
