- When Jamie Foxx nearly let an opportunity of a lifetime slip through his fingers, it meant remembering how he became Jamie Foxx in the first place. A story of dreams meeting discipline, the multifaceted mega-talent Jamie Foxx is iconic for roles in Ray, Django Unchained, and frequent collaborations with Kanye West. Once a kid from Texas with nothing but a dream, this documentary encapsulates Jamie's fearless ascension towards glittering fame, but just as importantly, the people who helped him get there.

A 2023 Dodford Production. - Розваги
Without question, one of the most multi-talented people to ever have lived.
and Jamie Foxx is pretty good too
He's practically our generation's Sammy Davis Jr. He's an incredible dude!
Masterpiece of a documentary
confirmed!
I second that. That last part got me 😢
the audio mix on this is phenomenal
All credit to Dan Pugsley, the goat!
Jamie Foxx really needs a biopic of his life, especially recreations of all the stories he talks about in his interviews (Throwing all those house parties, first time meeting Jay Z / Kanye, etc)
No please. A biopic would make it cheesy and try to add fiction. A documentary like Carlin's recent one would be much better.
I can't Imagine how much work goes into these, your writing, editing and storytelling skills are crazy. Also I think this is the best Dodford video yet, Absolute masterpiece.
He’s a genius
I agree。The laser focus attention it takes.
Like bro, this is freaking documentary and it has been uploades 3 days ago. I was watching legend youtube old videos, then this popped up
Amen. The ability to edit and have the subject tell their story from pre-existing media is really admirable.
And this shit only gets 150k views after 2 weeks? I want to km$
As always, you made an amazing doc. But I just want to highlight how incredible it was the way you were able to take the nugget of his grandma saying classical music will "get you to the other side of the tracks" and use that as the center of your video and tie it in to him winning and earning the record for the academy awards. That was beautiful and got me a little teary eyed. Amazing work.
Expert use of a motif if I ever did see one; one helluva video, top notch indeed. *chef’s-kiss* 🤌🏼
Jamie Foxx slipped and almost hit the ground but he still manages to pick himself back up. Capable and hard working man that he is.
I got goosebumps in the "you're blowing it" segment and i was tearing up by the end. You're doing these legends justice with these documenteries. Never stop improving
Man I always knew Jamie was talented but I never realised how hard he worked. What an inspiration
I literally got tears at the end, what a great documentary.
it’s a good day when Dodford
… uploads
... a new
@@NambiOficial …video
@@SteveDCM… for us
@@justsomeguyonyoutube8443…to watch
The fact dodford makes these movie quality mini documentaries for free on UA-cam is crazy.
17:20 this whole section is incredible to think about, Jamie really got put on the right path by the right people
yes the right people... the right path 🦉
@@HarmlessComment ugh
Kanye could learn a thing or two from Jamie Foxx
@@HarmlessComment if you knew anything it'd be that you know nothing
Personally my favourite video yet, smashed it again Dodford ⭐️🙌🏼
Thank you 🙌
Not gonna lie, almost teared up at the end.
As per usual, beautifully done. Providing newly shot footage of key locations is another notch and step up in your craft. Not sure if no sponsor spot for specific reasons, but tonally, leaving this one as is, without any inserted segment really made it land both gentler, and harder.
A true film maker in works. When you win the oscar i'll be there to say "I watched him before he was big." Your times coming man, this one almost brought me to tears. Can't wait for January.
Most talented man in Hollywood
This should be Emmy nominated
This is a masterpiece. Got me in tears.
This one was amazing, wow, that 20 minutes flew by.
Dodford, what an incredible job you do on these - great storytelling, I'm emotional.
Such a beautiful story so beautifully told by the man himself.
It's hard sometimes to see the opportunity you have. It's hard sometimes to grasp why things happen the way they do. But it gets easier when we have the backing of a good parent, a good teacher, a good friend. Work hard and be patient. Take the initiative and show the gold that lies inside you. Starting from a place of privilege is not needed to succeed, so long as the drive is there in you, and Jamie is a wonderful example of that.
And thank you again, Dodford, for making these docs that are some of the purest forms of storytelling on here. I can't wait for the next one.
See you next year 😄
One of the most talented human beings ever 🙏🏼❤️
Gotta say though, your editing/editor is next level 👌👍🙏
he edits these himself. he used to make editing tutorials on tiktok.
Yeah nah yeah, he's good at it for sure 👌
These videos are so criminally underviewed, and I'm so glad I get to enjoy them. The storytelling and quality of each and every video is unmatched.
Sooner or later, there's going to be companies wanting to take this away from UA-cam onto their platform, and I really hope that the videos keep the same heart and soul that they have now.
Thank you for teaching me so much about these incredible people.
“She still talks to me now”
Goosebumps ❤
Incredible editing and storytelling, truly wonderful to let the people shine on their own and tell their own story
Dodford your editing has changed me. This is such a moving work with so much attention to detail, you’re an inspiration.
Jamie is an example of the old school greats who were talented in many arts. His talent is in another stratosphere.
No way I thought I would watch this whole thing..
I COULD NOT STOP! 😂 Damn man, keep up the brilliant work.
This was beautiful, and had me tearing up.
Jamie foxx is up there as one of the very few modern renaissance mans. He’s so talented in many fields it’s so interesting
Astonishing quality. If it had HBO logo at the begining I would believe it. Congrats on creativity and execution.
The end had my tearing up, after every Dodford video I find myself adoring whoever it’s made about
This was beautiful.. you don't miss dodford 💫
Dodford hits different
You know the editing is genius when the video itself feels flawless
Now how do you make a 20min doco that's better than most of the biopics I've seen? Pure talent, that's how. 👏
Dude... wtf this is so unbelievably well put together i... what?
this is some of the best production work I've ever seen and it's on youtube like... WHAT?! YOU'RE INCREDIBLE!!!
Your editing and story-telling abilities are on another level!!
I love your videos.
Thank you for spoiling us with these great videos!
They don't call you the best youtube director for nothing. Anyone who thinks he knows anything about video editing has probably tried this at one point that's the more that enough reason to appreciated to respect your craft. It not easy!
you are on a whole other lever. imagine the research that comes with this and the fact that most if not all of the dialogue was from jamie's interviews is just amazing.
Wow. Just wow... What an incredible video. Great work Dodford.
the ending of this got me crying alone in my room doodford is really him
Damn, Dodford indubitably delivers.
So much talent, I love watching his interviews. He is mesmerising
What a powerful speech and such a beautiful way to end the video.
Oh boy... here we go!!!! I was waiting for this one!
Dodford, amazing work and an amazing year behind you. I am looking to see your work on the big big picture someday. You are great inspiration and master of your craft!
You’re best yet Dodford! Hit me right in the feels
No words. Just beautiful.
I have never been more in awe of a UA-cam recommendation and never had one video so quickly send me to subscribe. This documentary is phenomenal. The amount of research, the framing and storytelling, your editing--this was amazing. I learned so much about Jamie, it connected the basics I already knew about him together with so much more context and nuance, and made me tear up at the end and head over to hug my own grandmother. What amazing work!
Your videos are so good, I literally shed a tear
Beautiful video, you let the main character tell his story, the video has a wonderful flow to it, you're very good at this, I'm happy to have subscribed some time ago.
Another masterpiece! Thanks for this.
Every one of your videos just blows me away. Great work!
Thank you for taking the time (on top of everything else) to add subtitles!
I don't even know what to say Dodford. Thank God you make films
God level editing, you didn't even have to talk and everybody who watched this video was able to follow along with ease, you're an amazing content creator man.
btw, the Kanye bit gave me hope that someday we'll see a Dodford video on him, with how interesting and shifting his life is, it has chances to be your magnum opus
Fantastic storytelling, and that nod to Inception at the end in relation to Jamie's mention of talking to his grandmother in his dreams, love it.
The editing never fails to amaze 🙏🏻
this was an incredible watch
Beautifully done! ❤ So much more respect for Jamie Foxx
This is so beautiful I’m in tears. Thank you for sharing your creativity 🫶🏻
Another banger man, your ability to tell stories the way you do is both mesmerizing and informative. Narratively its perfect as well. Great video
Amazing work like always man! Left watching this motivated and inspired and wasn’t expecting that either 👌🏻
so well done!! such a lovely made and well edited documentary! thank you for sharing i really loved it
THIS MADE ME CRY, THANK U FOR SUCH AN AMEZING DOCUMENTARY
Wow, this was incredible. The way you centered the perspective of this documentary around Estelle’s prophetic instillation of transcendent values into Jamie, so he could go back and forth between the train track, was so moving it’s brought me to tears this Christmas Eve morning. Jamie Foxx is an extraordinary human being, and you highlighted the incredible force that was Estelle behind him, so beautifully. This story will stay with me, and I am thankful.
This one gave me chills. Can’t wait for another year of dodford. Definitely the best channel on here. Keep it up!
this is the most beautiful emotionally impactful documentary on all of youtube.
thank you for creating this i will be watching this many more times.
Man you are so on point with these. The way you let your subject tell their own story is perfection.
The research and editing for these video knocks every video essay UA-camr out the park no questions asked
Dude... you honestly have such a talent for making these.
I'm blown away every episode.
I love movies and i love the actors who play in them, so thank you for these videos, i can't wait until next month for the next star.
Absolutely beautiful piece Dodford, Ray is such a multifaceted legend and you did him right. Thanks!!
I'd like to shake your hand. Honest appreciation permeates all your work. Keep carrying the torch.
Did not expect such a well put together documentary! Hit me right in the feelings towards the end.
Outstanding story telling in this doc! Shed a tear at the end there... really moving, great tribute to the Jamie Foxx
What an amazing video as always. Thanks for putting your efforts in these videos. Can see your passion for these documentaries.
My God! BANGER AFTER BANGER!! Keep it up Dodford! How the hell did you make me cry? Excellent.
Love the Kanye segment
That was one of the most beautiful documentaries I've seen😭😭😭😭

i cried mate, good job
A video worthy of an awards by itself. Thank you Dodford once again for your beautiful craft.
Well, that was an absolute triumph of a documentary.
Liked and subscribed!
Crazy high effort very well paced video. Becoming one of my fav channels now.
Great use of a single sentence and location, my eyes and ears were locked from the beginning. Incredible work
Super well made, you let the images tell the story rather than interviews. I like your style
