Somebody needed this.
I make films nobody asked for, because somebody needed them. I’m a professor at five colleges across Los Angeles. I preach the Word. I coach, because somebody coached me. Every hat I wear points to the same direction: PEOPLE. My name is Dr. Opong; welcome to a small part of my world; join me in reshaping our world for the next generation. 🤍













There’s a blessing in your problem. The problem is, you have to go through your problem to get to your blessing.
The DISCIPLINE of disciplineAn orchestration of life mastery by Dr. Charles Opong
The Lord is bigger than any negative person, thought, condition, or circumstance you encounter.


Writer, director, actor, cinematographer, producer and creator. Stories about what people are going through, built from comedy, drama and the structure of the city around us.
City of AngelsTwo Los Angeles Police Department detectives, Deon Cash and Maya Washington, are on a strict mission to take down the city’s most protected and beloved, yet infamous, crime lord and leader of THE KEYS, Kween•Pin.
A city once named for angels now runs on smoke and mirrors. Detectives, partners and former lovers, Deon and Maya chase a network that owns access to Los Angeles through data, influence and silence. Enemies and rivals become allies. Villains are simply smoke in mirrors.
The pilot and proof of concept are shot and finished. Right now we're building the crowd and talking distribution. At 100,000 YouTube subscribers, DOUBLE•UP premieres for you first. Then comes the DOUBLE•UP movie, which grows into the full series. Day One: five dollars puts your name in the credits. Give more if you want. Special thanks to every fan and subscriber who rode with us from the jump.







Every backer of the DOUBLE•UP movie gets a credit. No limit.
A signed DVD of the DOUBLE•UP mixtape, numbered 1 to 100, with a download code inside. A seat at the premiere. A special credit. And a spot in one crowd scene, shot in Los Angeles on a set day. Never reprinted.
Thank you to the young, talented bicycle kids of Downtown LA.

Dr. Opong walks into every classroom whole. Father, husband, coach and human being, he arrives first and always as an educator, holding a conviction few say aloud: education is a spiritual practice, a form of resistance, and a defense. His students feel it. He pours into them an overflow of care, understanding and a rigorous protocol of preparation, so they learn to stay ready and never have to get ready. In his room, every student stands ready to lead the class.
His doctorate speaks far beyond the research lab and the conference halls where he addresses thousands. His scholarship is lived experience, carried from grade school classrooms to colleges and universities to the C suite. He came up through Upward Bound at Susan Miller Dorsey High School, went on to CSUN as the first in his family to attend college, and earned his Ph.D. Equipped to educate, he remains a lifelong learner, still taking notes.

Chuck Jones® Clothing & Apparel. Street and elegance, worn with purpose.
Chuck Jones®
Inspired by the father son relationship of Charles and his father, and the vintage 80s and 90s flow of urban street wear and churchy elegance called “church clothes” from back in the day. All in the name of Jesus… forever.
It carries the swagger FUBU put on the map, the tailoring Karl Kani made legendary, and the quiet confidence of every icon who dressed like the future before anyone gave permission.
The difference is who it points to. Every stitch glorifies Jesus. Every piece is cut to bring out the good character already living in you, so what you wear on the outside matches what the Lord built on the inside.
The eagle is scripture:
“But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”Isaiah 40:31 · NKJV
The eagle is about waiting on the Lord. Patience is a fruit of the Spirit, the longsuffering of Galatians 5:22, and perseverance builds character (Romans 5:4). Character is what the clothes represent. So every time you put on the eagle, you keep rising, from glory to glory (2 Corinthians 3:18) and from faith to faith (Romans 1:17). Those are the Levels.®
True Confidence.® rests on 1 John 5:14, 15:
“Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.”1 John 5:14, 15 · NKJV
It was never about the clothes.
