James says connecting with his fans and “telling meaningful stories” have always been his passion. He’s the executive producer of the Starz show “Survivor’s Remorse,” and also referenced his video project “Uninterrupted” as examples.
SpringHill Entertainment CEO Maverick Carter added that he wants the company to be a “leader in the original content-creating space.”
