TIZTHETIME...You Knew!!!!

"In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure."

-Bill Cosby

 This project will be in two parts, 

Documentary,

In our documentary style film, you will take a journey across throughout the country with us. From down south where Keith attended college, to his hometown in Colorado, to the city that never sleeps New York, New York, and back to where he currently resides, Los Angeles. At each destination, through film, we will tell you his story, displaying for you exactly what impact that location has had to his own journey to personal fulfilment. He will bring you in to see his rise from the bottom to the top and sometimes back again. All in all inspiring you every step of the way. Filming of the documentary is scheduled to start in April 2014 and will include features of Keith’s One Man Show from September 2014.

 

One Man Show,

Over the course of three nights in late September 2014, you will have the opportunity to see Keith’s story bought to life and hear the message about his journey, being RELENTLESS and never giving up. These shows will inspire, rejuvenate and enlighten you. You can expect the quality of the show to be up there with the likes of Whoopi Goldberg in “Back to Broadway” thrown in with a little Danny Hoch in “Corner Talk” and mix in a little John Leguizamo’s “Freak”, all big hitters in the industry but this is the stature in which TizTheTime strives to stand with. You will laugh, you will cry and you will root for the underdog all while being engrossed in an amazing night of theatre and comedy. 

Thursday and Friday night after the show, you have the opportunity to get up close and personal with Keith by attending a group discussion about the show which will be filmed and added to the documentary DVD. The final show on the Saturday night will have all the glitz and glamour that Hollywood has to offer. You will be greeted by a Red Carpet, professional photographers and after the show you have the opportunity to attend the final wrap after party, brushing shoulders with the industries elite.


Why this project?!?

Relentless 
(adj) Never-ceasing, merciless, harsh, unforgiving, cruel and unstoppable.

We intend to take you on a journey, one we have all been on in one form or another during the course of our lives. 
Throughout Keith’s life he has impacted others’ lives though mentoring, coaching and the sharing of his own life experiences. The feedback he has received has been so positive; he wants to inspire YOU by sharing his story. You see when you're relentless about something, you mean business. You're not stopping until you get what you want, and you're not taking "no" for an answer. People might try to steer you from your goal, but your eyes are on the prize and they're just going to have to get out of your way. So with his experience in the arts, the decision was easy, there was no better way for him to share these stories than to transfer them to the stage and into a documentary style film.

TIZTHETIME for YOU to join in the next stage of his journey, allowing him to show you how to keep going, no matter what and ensuring you yourself have RELENTLESSNESS in your own life.



Who are we??

Keith Tisdell

Actor/ Producer (DNKK Productions)

Keith was born in Denver Colorado on Sept. 8th. 

He is a father, son, brother, actor and producer.

His first love was Basketball but throughout Junior High School and High School Keith developed a love for acting through film, television and on the stage that sparked his desire for the craft.

Keith was offered a full basketball scholarship at Northwestern State University of Louisiana and began to study Child Psychologist. Keith completed his Psychology degree but found his life coming full circle, leading him back to a career in the film and television industry which he pursues and truly loves and enjoys today.

You have seen Keith in countless national commercials, Broadway-bound plays, Network TV shows (OZ, Law and Order SVU), independent and studio films (Brown Sugar).

Most recently, Keith appeared in two episodes of Criminal Minds (CBS – Television) as recurring character Rodney Harris. Rodney appeared in episodes “Profiler, Profiled” and “Restoration”. 

Playing the character of Rodney, allowed Keith to show some of the true versatility of his acting skills. There was violence and rage but in the scene that Agent Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore) confronts Rodney, you feel his pain and the desperation that lead him to that point, breaking your own heart along with his.

Host

Doug Williams (Comedian)

Doug was born and raised in Montgomery, Alabama and quickly realized that he had an affinity for entertainment. After being put out of a local high school rap group because his rhymes were more humorous than serious, a friend suggested he give stand-up comedy a try. So Doug stepped on stage at a comedy club in Huntsville, Alabama for the first time and found his calling.

His off-beat style of stand-up comedy that often surrounds relationships with women and his life made him a favorite on BET’s (Black Entertainment Television) “Club Comic View” and “It’s Showtime at the Apollo.” He has been featured on “Comedy Central Presents Doug Williams” Doug’s talents as a comedian/actor led him to be cast as a series regular in the role of Kevin on the HBO’s series “The Mind of the Married Man.” Doug has also guest starred on “The Bernie Mac Show,” and “Close to Home.” He is starring in the up-and-coming feature film “The Trace” with Billy Dee Williams and Lynn Whitfield.  

Doug is the first Black comedian to create, host and produce his own stand-up comedy series, and it was the Starz Network’s first original hit series “Martin Lawrence Presents 1st Amendment Stand Up.” The late-night stand-up comedy show featured some of the nation’s legendary, established, & hottest up-and-coming urban comedians. The show ran for five successful seasons and helped launch the careers of “The Hangovers Ken Jeong and “The Talks Sheryl Underwood. 1st Amendment Stand-Up was the number one rated show on Starz for five years and pave the way for other original series like “Boss,” and “Spartacus.”

Doug went on to produce “Way Black When” for The TV One Network. The high rated series was featured during Black History Month and focused on the dramatic, musical, and comedic portrayals of African Americans through the lens of black music, film and television in the 70’s, 80’s and early 90’s.

Presently, Doug has formed DNA Media Productions with his wife Ada Luz Pla-Williams. They have several projects in development. Currently they are creators and co-executive producers of “Runnin the Streetz with Doug Williams.” A fast paced comedy show built for today’s A.D.D., “YouTube” mixed cultural audience. The show contains outrageous sketches, celebrity guests, street pranks, and today’s hottest music performers
