Director Chris Stokes has signed an exclusive 20-picture deal with Turnstr+, a new streaming platform. His forthcoming film, “Forever, This Ring,” will debut when the platform launches on October 2.
Taye Diggs, Erica Mena, Loretta Devine, Marques Houston, Malik Whitfield and La’Myia Good star in the film.
Described as a “twisted physiological thriller,” “Forever, This Ring” is set to follow a wealthy couple’s perfect marriage as it turns into a “nightmare,” per the official logline. Maveric Collins, a successful entrepreneur and playboy, has promised to never get married — until he meets the woman of his dreams and changes his mind. But when they get married, he finds out she’s actually not who he thought she was. “Will the woman he once loved go away calmly, or will this end in a deadly divorce?”
Another year in the books and I’m incredibly grateful.
2025 was all about turning ideas, scripts, and late-night conversations into real movies on screen. This year, my team and I were blessed to release eight films, and every single one came with memories I’ll carry with me for a long time. From day one on set to the final cut, this journey was powered by an amazing group of cast members, crew, and new people we brought into the fold who helped us create something special together.
Making films is never a solo effort. It’s long days, creative problem-solving, and trusting the people around you to bring the vision to life. I’m thankful for every single person who showed up, believed in the process, and gave their best to each project.
Thank You to Everyone Who Supports Our Films
None of this happens without the people who continue to support and watch our movies. Because of you, our films have gone on to become some of the most popular and variety-charting titles out there. That kind of support never goes unnoticed, and I truly appreciate everyone who presses play, spreads the word, and rides with us year after year.
I also want to give a huge thank you to our partners at Tubi. Thank you for continuing to trust my vision and for giving us a major platform to showcase our work. That trust means everything, and it allows us to keep pushing forward creatively and delivering stories to audiences everywhere.
Looking Ahead to 2026
As we move into 2026, I’m sending nothing but positive energy and love to everyone who’s been part of this journey. We’re gearing up for what will be our biggest year yet, with even more movies on the way.
The first release of the year is TWIN, dropping January 23. This is just the beginning of what’s coming next, and I’m excited to share what we’ve been working on.
Thank you again to the cast, crew, partners, and supporters who continue to make this possible. Let’s keep building, creating, and bringing more stories to the screen.
Today is one of those moments that really hits home.
I’ve had the privilege of working closely with Marques Houston for many years, and watching this come together behind the scenes has been nothing short of inspiring. After months of planning, preparation, and quiet execution, I’m extremely proud to officially share the first date, venue, and city of what’s shaping up to be a very special tour.
The kickoff show will take place April 25th at the Toyota Arena in Ontario, California.
This night is going to be one to remember.
Tickets On Sale January 16
Tickets officially go on sale January 16 via Ticketmaster, and if you know Marques’ fanbase, you already know the energy is going to be unmatched. This isn’t just another show, it’s a celebration of music, longevity, and the connection he’s built with fans over the years.
There’s also something special planned for the meet and greets, which I know will make the experience even more meaningful for those attending.
All Because of You
This show, and this moment, truly reflects what happens when passion meets patience. April 25 is about more than music. It’s about appreciation, community, and giving back to the people who have supported the journey every step of the way.

As this year comes to a close, I find myself reflecting deeply on all that has unfolded. I can honestly say that this has been one of the most joyful and purpose-filled years of my life. When I look at the talent I’ve had the blessing to work with, the opportunities that have come my way, and the creative doors that continue to open, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude.
God has truly used me as a vessel — not just to create, but to help others create. To see people step into their own light and embrace the fullness of their gifts is something that brings me incredible fulfillment. Whether it’s through music, film, television, or mentorship, my mission has always been to uplift and guide talent toward their greatest potential.
And still, there are so many more names I could list. So many talented souls who have trusted me with their artistry and their stories. To every single actor, musician, and creative I’ve worked with: thank you. You’ve made this journey extraordinary.
This year reminded me that success isn’t just about accolades or recognition — it’s about purpose. It’s about being aligned with the path God has set before you and staying faithful through every twist and turn. When I look back at the projects that came to life in 2025 and the incredible people I’ve collaborated with, I see a reflection of grace and growth.
And even though I’ve been in this industry for decades, I still feel like I’m just getting started. There’s so much more to create, so many more stories to tell, and so many more people to introduce to the world. I’m already gearing up for what’s coming in 2026 — and trust me, it’s going to be powerful.
Next year, I’ll be sharing more about my journey through a new book that’s been on my heart for a long time. It’s going to be a transparent look at my life, my faith, my wins, and my lessons. I’m also in the early stages of developing a documentary series that will give you an inside look at the real work — the vision, the creativity, and the purpose that drive everything I do. We’re exploring options for where it will live, whether it’s Netflix or another major platform, and I can’t wait to share more when the time comes.
Of course, none of this happens in isolation. I’m incredibly grateful for my team at @footagefilmstudios and for our amazing partnerships with platforms like @tubi. Collaboration is everything, and being surrounded by people who believe in the mission makes the work even more rewarding.
What I’ve learned this year — more than anything — is that gratitude fuels growth. When you operate from a place of thankfulness, you attract abundance. When you lead with faith, you move differently. You speak differently. You create differently. And the results are undeniable.
To every young creative out there chasing your dream — remember this: timing is everything. Don’t rush your process. Don’t compare your journey to someone else’s. God’s plan for you is unique and perfectly designed. Trust it, work hard, stay humble, and be ready for the blessings that follow.
I’m closing out this year with a heart full of appreciation and excitement for what’s next. 2026 is going to be a year of even greater vision, collaboration, and purpose. I can’t wait to share new projects, new stories, and new opportunities with all of you.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Thank you for your support, your messages, your encouragement, and your belief. Whether you’ve been following me for years or you’re just discovering my work — know that I see you, I appreciate you, and I’m grateful for you.
Let’s keep building, creating, and inspiring together. Let’s go!!! 🙌
