Curry Barker (OBSESSION) Father-Son Interview

My Son Left Alabama for Hollywood… Here’s What Happened... In this deeply personal and inspiring podcast interview, I sit down with my son, Curry Barker (OBSESSION), for an honest conversation about filmmaking, acting, creativity, family, Hollywood, and the journey of chasing big dreams. Recorded during the excitement surrounding OBSESSION's LA red-carpet premiere, this episode dives into the real story behind the success, struggles, sacrifices, memories, and mindset that helped shape Curry’s career. We talk about: Growing up in Alabama. Behind-the-scenes stories from filmmaking and acting. Creating movies, directing actors, and storytelling. Life experiences in Los Angeles, Paris, and London. Harry Potter. Creativity, confidence, fear, and self-doubt. The truth about pursuing your dreams.
