Maurice Lindsay, Founder
Maurice Lindsay (AKA MoReese Madu) is an author-screenwriter-filmmaker from Columbia, SC. His work is informed by black history, ancient spiritual wisdom, poetry, and nature. A revolutionary storyteller across multiple mediums, Maurice aims to tell stories that inspire, uplift, and decolonize afro/indigenous minds from Eurocentric ideals.
Maurice found his gift as a writer in his 20’s and would later go on to found TruthOverTradition.com, an internationally read blog about black history and religion, which he edited from 2014-2019. In 2019, he published his first poetry collection, Up From Religion, which detailed his transition from religion to spirituality. A year later, he followed that up with his debut novel, The Perceptionist, which many readers consider a classic.
In 2020, Maurice completed a script to screen mentorship program, where he learned the craft of screenwriting and his first-ever written screenplay was offered a deal by a TV Network. In 2022, he wrote and produced his first feature film, Differences, which won Best Feature Film and Audience Choice awards at the 2023 Freedom International Film Festival and is now streaming on Tubi. His next feature film, Right In Front of You, is set to release in 2026.
Maurice is a great writer. – Lorisa Bates, BET Networks
