Usher Morgan is a distinguished screenwriter, film director, producer, and entrepreneur based in New York City. His journey in the entertainment world began in the realm of book publishing. However, drawn by his love of cinema, he soon transitioned to film production and distribution.

2018 saw the release of Morgan's first feature film, "Pickings." Celebrated for its unique storytelling and impressive direction, it not only received widespread critical acclaim but also secured a limited theatrical release through AMC Independent in March of that same year.

The Los Angeles Times has hailed him as "a talent to watch," while The 405 gave "Pickings" a commendable mention, ranking it in its "Top 18 films of 2018."
