Hamlin and his Vision

“Be GREAT, as always!”
Khalel “Nightwing” Hamlin has always wanted to find what connects people the most. As Khalel, his elementary days were filled with dreams of leadership and community service, mostly including a lot of super strength, speed and remarkable kindness. He found an attachment to heroes that had amazing capabilities and teams to support them, so he focused on how he could accomplish that in a world without powers (yet). Those around Khalel started calling him ‘Hamlin’ in his transition to Albany High School, where his concept of heroism also evolved from powers to potential. Here, through JROTC, early parenthood and working with the youth, Hamlin experienced the necessity of empathy in leadership.
For Hamlin, film became the demonstration of both qualities. By creating a film, you lead people through an experience that will impact their perspective after watching. It is up to your intentionality, impact and storytelling to effectively elicit the reaction you're hoping to create.
He later became Nightwing, now working to create opportunities for other young heroes to find their path. Through film and media production, Nightwing hopes to develop workforce development opportunities that are supportive of the mentees and interns that take part in them.
Hamlin’s goal is to create a film production company that acts as the on-site experience of a larger workforce development program, providing work experience opportunities in a variety of fields, from cosmetic skill work to labor and construction. All while providing safe learning experiences for our youth.
