![]() ![]() There really wasn’t ever a question of could I do it in Mississippi. When did you realize you could pursue your dream from Mississippi? I’m really, really proud of what has been going on recently. We don’t necessarily mandate how you work with us. Sometimes that means coming on board as a full producer or executive producer, or just general counsel to kind of help navigate the waters of the film incentive. Sometimes that just means renting equipment. That’s how we grow as an industry in Mississippi, to take as good of care of everybody as we can. You have to treat people well and make sure that they want to come back. The most important thing for me, I just want to make sure that anybody that wants to shoot in Mississippi has the best experience they can. Eyevox is kind of more about the producing side and working with producers from all over the world that want to come in and make Mississippi the home for their next entertainment venture. Mad Genius has a full production arm with a grip truck, generator, cameras, and a studio with a production crew. And then just this year we opened a board game bar called Dogmud Tavern in Ridgeland.īut as far as film is concerned, that’s Eyevox and Mad Genius. And I also started Certifiable Studios, which is a board game company in 2015. ![]() Then I also had The Screen Engine, which was an animation studio down in Florida, for about five years, and then made a run with Mississippi Film Studios here in 2000, until the incentive changed. They were separate companies at the time, and then I kind of put them all together and then opened up a branch in 2008 for Eyevox Entertainment. Then I moved on to various jobs in freelancing with ABC, ESPN and HBO for sporting events.īut in ’97, I started my own company, Sights and Sounds, which later became Eyevox in 2000.Īnd that’s where my various companies just kind of started to spawn. I worked there as a cameraman originally and then started directing the news and producing commercials. I worked my way through college, and ever since I was a junior in high school, at Channel 16. What led to the founding of Eyevox and your other ventures? It’s a real thrill to see the end result of your work hitting the screen finally.īut right now, I would say that I’m more positioned to help others find their passion or help fulfill their dreams. I can’t really say that I thought one day, “Hey, I want to be a filmmaker.” I like the idea of connecting with the viewer. The bigger picture was to get a camera and a truck and then I started hiring people, because the most important thing for me was wanting to surround myself with more talented people than myself. Back then, I just really was a one-man band. Then I started my company and worked with some great organizations like Entergy and Primos. I started producing commercials and did everything I could to take good care of the clients I was able to work with. He designed it and was the first general manager for Channel 16 back in the early seventies.īut honestly, I can’t recall making a decision that this is what I wanted to do for a living. How did you develop your interest in working in film and TV production? And then I went to college at Mississippi College, where I got my undergraduate in business administration, with a concentration and finance and marketing. I grew up there and went to Clinton High School. Where are you from originally and where do you go to school? Through Eyevox, Moore has been a producer and production partner on several shot-in-Mississippi film projects, most recently the 2021 horror film “Jakob’s Wife” and the soon-to-be-released thriller “Glorious.”Īnd Eyevox is partnered with several films currently in production, including the Morgan Freeman-starring thriller “The Minute You Wake Up Dead,” which is currently shooting in Canton the horror film “From Black,” now underway in Natchez the action film “Hunt Club” starring Mickey Rourke, beginning principal photography in Wiggins and the sci-fi thriller “Hard Matter,” which will begin production soon on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. It’s the film production branch of Mad Genius, the advertising firm he founded in 2005. Rick Moore is president of Eyevox Entertainment in Ridgeland. ![]()
