Introducing: The Life of David Rhoiney A sneak peek behind the scenes of a major new Infinite Media film & book project chronicling the extraordinary journey of Dr. David Rhoiney (@surgifi). ___ David Rhoiney was born at the bottom. As an impoverished African American child, he survived seemingly unbearable hardships, from street violence to homelessness. Yet, despite the bleakest prospects, his adult years have been defined by a series of astonishing successes. This desperate yet brilliant boy became a complex, ambitious man who refused to let himself be beaten by the dire circumstances he found himself in. Now a qualified robotic surgeon, David has also excelled as a Division I athlete in basketball and track, a U.S. Navy cryptologist, a financial educator, a public speaker, and a web designer. This is a story of ambition, ruthlessness, sacrifice, hubris, intelligence, stubbornness, loss, and, ultimately, hope. This is the story of how David Rhoiney reached the top. ___ For the full story of this multimedia project and to sign up for updates and behind-the-scenes previews, check out our Substack: https://newsletter.osv.llc/p/introducing-the-life-of-david-rhoiney In the meantime, before filming kicks off in 2024, we’re excited to present an exclusive pre-production trailer produced by the talented filmmaker @ZacharyTannar, who joined David's biographer, Ed William (https://x.com/Ed_Wi11iam?s=20), earlier this year to visit David at his home in Virginia.
