Behind the scenes with Bentley Kyle Evans at ‘Gospel Goes to Hollywood’

YouTube video

If you happen to love shows like Martin, The Jamie Foxx Show and the movie A Thin Line Between Love and Hate then you have producer  Bentley Kyle Evans to thank. Recently Evans attended the Gospel Goes to Hollywood luncheon where he discussed the key to success in Hollywood and overcoming the word “no”.


It’s been a great year for African Americans on-screen. You’ve set the bar for creating content that people want to see, what is your formula for success?


There is no real formula, but the ability to just “green light” yourself. People don’t realize there are so many platforms that you can get your stuff out there. Sit down, do the work and get your [work] out there. Do whatever it takes to get attention. Continue to push. You create, think, ask God, continue to green light yourself.

Where do you get your motivation to keep going to when networks tell you “no”?


Martin was classic, The Jamie Foxx show was great, for networks to tell me “no” is insulting but we already know that “we” are getting into the race with no shoes on so we have to work extra hard.
