We recently sat down with Blake Freeman at his condo in Los Angeles to ask him about his life on a couch. Blake has directed, starred in, and produced numerous films with some big names on the Hollywood scene including Eddie Griffin and Danny Trejo. Not that many people would be able to say that, and to think that Freeman is one of the best out there would be an understatement. He definitely is. But it wouldn’t have been easy to get to where he is today. A lot of hard work, dedication, and maybe even the help of a film school like Friends in Film may have all had a part to play in his success. Everyone has to start somewhere, but it’s what you do with that starting point that determines your career path, and Freeman definitely made the most of his opportunities. Even after all of the celebrity and recognition, he still cracked a smile when we asked him about his childhood couch.
