Over a year after its original release, Problematic Intentions continues to make waves on the international film circuit. What started as a passion project has now grown into a global success story—recently reaching 20 film awards worldwide, cementing V-LO The Maestro’s place as one of today’s most determined independent creative forces.
Known off-screen as Dr. Vernon Wiggins, the Louisiana-based artist, actor, and executive producer has watched his horror-thriller evolve far beyond expectations. The film’s momentum hasn’t slowed—in fact, it’s accelerating, with additional red carpet appearances and accolades still rolling in.
Recently, V-LO also stepped into Hollywood culture, attending a Grammy after party—another milestone reflecting how his work across music and film is beginning to intersect on larger stages.
At its core, Problematic Intentions isn’t just about suspense—it carries a message.
Set in the atmospheric town of Tigerville, Louisiana, the film uses isolation and tension to explore deeper themes, particularly standing against bullying. The rural backdrop becomes part of the storytelling itself, heightening both the emotional weight and eerie tone.
For V-LO, this message is personal. He’s made it clear that the film was created to spark awareness and conversation—showing how unchecked cruelty can push people past their limits, and why empathy matters.
That purpose-driven approach is a big reason audiences and festivals alike continue to respond to the project.
One of the most talked-about elements of the film is V-LO’s performance as Devil Face—a layered villain shaped by circumstance rather than pure evil.
The role marked a turning point in his acting journey.
Rather than playing it safe, V-LO leaned into unfamiliar territory, embracing a darker character and proving he could revisit similar archetypes while telling entirely new stories. Critics praised the authenticity and edge he brought to the screen, and the experience opened the door to future roles in the same psychological space.
It was a creative risk—and it paid off.
Serving as both star and executive producer, V-LO says one of the most rewarding parts of the process was assembling the right cast and crew.
Everyone involved bought into the vision.
That collaboration helped him realize something powerful: he’s capable of producing award-winning films with real impact. The success of Problematic Intentions didn’t just validate the project—it reshaped his confidence as a filmmaker.
Now, he’s expanding beyond horror, actively developing ideas across multiple genres.
Where Music, Film, and Vision Meet
Rather than choosing between music and movies, V-LO is merging them.
His creative philosophy is simple: one project can include acting, production, and original music all at once. That multi-hyphenate mindset now lives at the center of his production company, MG Films & Television, which will power his next slate of films.
At the same time, he’s currently working on:
-
A new hip-hop album
-
Additional acting roles
-
His next feature film project
Each piece feeds into the next—creating a unified creative ecosystem instead of separate lanes.
Twenty Awards Later, the Mission Stays the Same
With 20 movie awards globally and more recognition still on the way, V-LO remains grounded in why he started.
For him, the trophies matter—but the message matters more.
Problematic Intentions was built to challenge bullying, encourage reflection, and remind viewers that actions have consequences. Knowing the film has already touched people around the world is what truly fuels him.
And if this chapter proves anything, it’s that V-LO The Maestro is only entering his next phase—building, performing, and inspiring through every frame, verse, and vision.
