The Truth Immortalized On Film

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.
