Divine G Entertainment is an urban-based entertainment company that sells novels in numerous formats, including ebooks, paperbacks, screenplays and audiobooks, and provides services such as novel editing, adaptation and audiobook production.
John “Divine G” Whitfield is the founder/owner of Divine G Entertainment. He is also the real life person Colman Domingo portrays in the movie Sing Sing.
On this movie Sing Sing, Divine G acquired four movie credits consisting of; 1) a story credit; Sing Sing is based primarily on Divine G’s journey while involved in the Rehabilitation Through the Arts (RTA) program at Sing Sing; Colman Domingo portrays him in this movie as the main character of the story; 2) a writer’s credit; Divine G along with Gregg Kwedar, Clint Bentley and Clarence “Divine Eye” Maclin wrote the screenplay; 3) an Executive Producer credit; Divine G took part in virtually all developmental aspects of the movie, ranging from selecting the supporting actors to ensuring the sets and locations were accurate and authentic; and 4) an actor’s credit; Divine G makes a cameo appearance in this movie as the Book Fan, who asks himself (Divine G played by Colmin Domingo) to give him (the real Divine G) an autograph of one of his three published novels (Money Grip).
As demonstrated in this movie, Divine G served decades in prison for a crime he did not commit despite finding overwhelming evidence of his actual innocence. For a review of some of the evidence of his innocence, please see his PEN award winning memoir The Whitfield Files. It must further be noted that Divine G is still fighting to undo this gross miscarriage of justice and currently has a Conviction Review Unit (CRU) Complaint pending in the Kings County District Attorney’s Office. This complaint has been pending in that Office for about seven years.
