  • While Hollywood underestimated Will Packer, the self-taught super producer developed nine No. 1 films and pulled in $1 billion at the box office. From his Atlanta estate, he shows Complex how he proved the bankability of people of color and helped launch the careers of Kevin Hart, Idris Elba, and more.

    This man is such an inspiration to me. St Pete and Tampa, Fl has some talented people in it. Will Packer is the fucking truth man.

    That awkward moment you love Will Packer so much and watch everything he creates but didn't know that he was the man behind TROIS AND MOTIVES because you were too young and had no business watching those type of films 😲😲😲😲😲. I'm about to watch chocolate city and TROIS Franchise again just to let all of this success and journey marinate. I am going to work with him one day SOOOOOOOOOOON!!! Amazing interview, it left me wanting more of his story and wanting to work even harder. 🙌🏿👏🏿🙏🏿👏🏿🙌🏿🙏🏿👏🏿🙌🏿
    P.S: NOAH you're a great host and Mr. packer you're so well spoken I could listen to you all day.

    This may sound ghetto but my goto room is my apartment walls, where I posted
    my credit scores.

    After cleaning up my credit from 550 to have over an 800 + FICO scores I have taped print
    outs copies of my scoreS on my walls in my apartment.

    This has inspired me to achieve other goals in my life.

    Went to Famu at the same time as him. Him and Rob Hardy's movie Chocolate City was a HUGE deal. I was on campus radio briefly and had a crazy show when I left he took my time slot and copied my show. Proud of his success as well as fellow Rattlers Common or Common Sense as he was known then.
