Today we’d like to introduce you to Vinnie Vineyard.
Hi Vinnie, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I have been in entertainment for almost my entire life. From making radio broadcasts that no one would hear on a tape recorder in my bedroom when I was a kid led to performing and winning awards with comedy as a high schooler.
Professionally, I’ve had radio gigs, stand-up comedy runs, and long-term stints with skit writing, acting, hip-hop/ funk bands as a bass player and singer, professional wrestling, acting, producing, paranormal television, and now movie making.
I’ve enjoyed the challenge of each genre but I think I have finally found a home with making movies.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
My biggest obstacle to long-term success is that once I get halfway decent in a particular field, I get bored with it and want to do something else.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I now run Big N Funky Productions with my tag team partner Big Luke Walker.
We make movies, paranormal television, comedy skits, and also film other people’s projects too. I probably am most famous for my lead role in our last movie, “The Hike”, but this new movie “WJHC AM” we believe will be bigger still. My runs as Funkmaster V in pro wrestling, touring music, and on the ghost show “Wrestling With Ghosts” has also notched me some notoriety.
What sets me apart from others? I have a drive for success. I never liked, or wanted, to work a 9-5. It just isn’t in me to jump in the rat race. So with that drive I have taken on many career paths and enjoyed every one of them.
Have you learned any interesting or important lessons due to the Covid-19 Crisis?
Stop making out with strangers at the bus station.
