Greeze Films
Reality is the most compelling narrative of all.
We don’t do scripts. We capture the real—the unfiltered pulse of the culture and the quiet struggles that shape us. From the shifting dynamics of our relationships to the roots of our communities, we turn the raw texture of actual life into cinema that demands respect.
Al Greeze doesn’t just document this vision; he walks it. He is a man who stands on business when it comes to his convictions—never afraid to speak out for what he believes in. That discipline runs deep: he puts in the work physically, hitting the gym five days a week, and stays ten toes down for his family and community. Through his films, you don’t just see a story; you feel that strength.
“My goal as a film maker is to make quality films that have a positive impact on society and to not be afraid to spotlight what may be questionable behavior, beliefs or actions so that we can address them and make our world what we want it to be.”
– Greeze
A chance meeting with a screenwriter in Alaska set Al Greeze on a path to produce films that would question, test and expose controversial topics, desires and issues that are not often talked about by society or within communities. The goal of an Greeze Films is to invite an open and honest dialogue amongst each other and to strengthen the family and uplift communities.
It started with a single wish: to find a place where respect is the standard, not the exception. To stop dwelling in frustration and finally venture into uncharted waters. Watch the journey that sparked a movement.
After deciding that film making was the perfect avenue to satisfy his innate curiosity about the world around him and his desire to make films that can change the way we see the world and ourselves, Greeze attended the Hollywood Film Institute and found inspiration in film director Spike Lee and actors Jack Nicholson and Denzel Washington.
Greeze’s first full length documentary, ―Frustrated is both controversial and educational. The film gives an opportunity to dispel rumors and hearsay based on an Essence Magazine article about African-American men traveling to Brazil for relationships and tell the true reasons from the men themselves.
