Litho Freeman

Artistry Bio Beginning in the projects of inner city Pittsburgh, Litho Freeman has spent his life adapting, engaging and overcoming situations in his life. As a child Litho wrote poems for his mother and drew characters of a world he could create outside his chaotic nomadic type childhood. At age 12 Litho and his little sister were taken away from their mother due to drug issues and were sent from state to state in search of reconstructing a "home." During his teenage years Litho attended three separate high schools in three very different social economic areas. At the age of 17 Litho packed a small bookbag, kissed his little sister on the fore head and left "the house" for good. After graduating high school from three counties away, Litho attended Akron University with a major in journalism and a minor in sociology. Two years later Litho would find himself dropped out of college and homeless. During the following months, he would travel the roads in between Pittsburgh, New York, and Ohio searching for a true direction. Amid mixing and mingling and traveling for a place to sleep, Litho would become exposed to the various lifestyles and spirits of the people that would later inspire his written tales. One night while sleeping in a park slide and writing in his journal, Litho decided to begin filming his days and nights of homelessness, in fear that his life would mean nothing if something would so happen during the nights on the street. A year or so later Litho would enlist in the United States Army, and upon entry had set his sights on a new goal, film. During the first year of service he traveled from Georgia to Virginia for an extended training program. During that time, he read, studied film, and wrote in the same Virginia coffee shops of Edgar Allen Poe. Soon the military would send Litho to Germany for combat training where he would write thoughts of narratives in the mess hall during midnight duty. Back in Georgia, Litho decided to pursue his new interest and maxed out his first credit card to film his first short film, a poetry piece entitled "Imagine." As his time in the military was coming to an end, due to a training related injury, his expansion in film grew with completions of production scripts and several short films shot with a group of creatives in Savannah Georgia. After a year of working on accredited college student film sets, Litho decided to move back to Ohio in search of building his own team of creatives. In 2014 he formed the visual company "Knosebleed fliques" and began working freelance as a camera man shooting weddings, parties, and formal events. In 2015 Litho would complete his first documentary and move to Cleveland Ohio and attend Cuyahoga Community College where he would be named Assistant Editor of the school newspaper and study under the film degree program. In 2016 the production company "Bohemian Fliques" was formed. The company holds a focus on narrative films written from the nomadic perspective of the growing artist, Litho Freeman.
