The Truth Immortalized On Film

Coming To A Theater/Streaming Platform Near You !

Lateef “Cal” Calloway is the founder of The Phoeion Group, LLC, operating as Calliwood Productions, LLC, where he focuses his passion and expertise on film production and direction. Since 1999, Mr. Calloway has successfully led his company through more than 26 film projects, including creative narratives, documentaries, and technical training films.

Born and raised on the east side of Detroit, Lateef was deeply influenced by his mother, a proud member of the group known as The Sojourners during her time. It was through her that he was introduced to the powerful legacy of Sojourner Truth—a former enslaved person, renowned abolitionist, and trailblazing women’s rights advocate whose story left a lasting impression on him.

A graduate of the prestigious Motion Picture Institute (MPI)—Michigan’s oldest and most reputable film school—Mr. Calloway continues to honor that legacy through his work. Currently, he is leading the Calliwood Productions team in the pre-production of a full-length feature biopic chronicling the extraordinary life and times of Sojourner Truth. This project seeks to bring her enduring message of equality, justice, and unity to audiences worldwide, continuing her mission to bridge divides and inspire future generations.

Top Notch Kids mission statement:

Top Notch Kids is a personal vision and community engagement effort to encourage and inspire youth ages 8 to 19 years of age to help revitalize their neighborhoods making the infrastructure more energy efficient and LEED Certified as well as safer for residents.  As we know, crime, poverty, vandalism, and violence have no boundaries.  Gun violence in schools has also been on the rise.  Top Notch Kids provides a fun, positive, and safe alternative to this culture of violence.  

   Although the history of the gun has been one filled with the taking of life and the destruction of communities, Top Notch Kids will change the narrative of the gun and how it effects our communities by providing real life opportunities to save lives and revitalize communities using the “GUNS” of home improvement.  Not only does this community effort allow for residents to take part in the beautification of their communities making them more attractive to new businesses and various investments, but it also allows for children to attain a valuable skill set which helps with career readiness and future orientation.  Our motto is “We don’t kill with guns, we build with guns” as they learn how to improve the conditions of their community with caulk guns, staple guns, nail guns, and paint guns!
