We met on some occasional PR networking—Bigg Vonn didn’t put on confidence; he wore it tailored. Flash wasn’t costume on him—it was character. Chrome frames catching every stray light. Fabrics talking louder than beats headphones. Rings clinking like exclamation points. He wasn’t trying to be seen. He was the scene.
What struck me first wasn’t just the aura—it was the résumé. Bigg Von is a writer, a music producer, a Grammy-winning heavyweight, and a serial entrepreneur who treats ideas like assets and turns both into legacy. He speaks in blueprints and moves in rollouts. Next to him, possibility feels practical.
Between deliverables and “let’s circle back” emails, our PR check-ins turned into real conversations about vision. Bigg Von told me about a series he already had episodes finished- tucked away and wanted a few more ideas and episodes. Opportunities didn’t knock—they walked in like family. Before long, we weren’t just swapping notes; we were building a concept. Executive produced by Bigg Von. Co-directed by me—Nella Writes—and him. Two chairs, one monitor, a hundred ideas pacing the room like they paid rent.
Then he leaned in—cool, low—and said, “What if a doctor’s haunted past won’t stay buried? Like it’s stitched in the bloodline, generation after generation.” Chills, for sure. But here’s me: I live for romance, mystery, suspense. Comedy-horror was a new neighborhood. I looked at that blank page like, girl, how we finna flip this?
He stayed solid. Supportive. Trusting. The kind of collaborator who hands you the keys and says, “Drive it how you drive.” He’s the one who actually pulled me into horror writing. After the first few days, the rhythm found me. I started lacing punchlines into the panic, planting clues in the quiet, building scenes that smile at you right before they bite. We went back and forth for weeks—calls, texts, late-night pages with coffee and tea stains and stressed margins. Idea by idea, beat by beat, it clicked. Stamped. Locked. Go.
Demented: 5 Tales of madness went from concept to cameras. Directing this project, the vision sharpened in real time. We pulled in a cast that didn’t just show up—they showed out. Faces that could hold fear and humor in the same breath. Performances that made the pages feel small compared to what landed on set. Wardrobe had stories, lighting had secrets, sound had threats. Every corner of the frame knew something you didn’t.
On set, Von was the epitome of that signature energy—flashy but focused, stylish but surgical. He’d pivot from a creative note to a business call without losing the beat. Grammy-winning instincts meeting writer’s precision and entrepreneur grit—it’s a rare cocktail, and it kept the room lifted. Meanwhile, I was in my zone: chasing moments, protecting tone, stitching heart into the horror and humor into the haunt.
I came into this loving love, mystery, and suspense. He invited me into fear—and I found another kind of romance there: the chemistry between terror and timing, the tension that makes you laugh to breathe again. Demented: Five Tales of madness is exactly that—five sharp, twisted windows into a legacy that won’t stop knocking. It’s the past refusing to stay quiet. It’s the present learning how to listen.
From a PR spark to a full-blown film, this is what happens when confidence meets craft and trust meets timing. Bigg Von brought the idea. I brought the ink. Together, we brought the film to life—and then dared it to look back.
