Terrance Huff is a renowned filmmaker, civil rights activist, and motorsports enthusiast hailing from an impoverished neighborhood on Hamilton, Ohio's East Side. Born to a single mother who juggled multiple responsibilities, Terrance's early life was marked by resilience and determination.
In 2001, Terrance made the bold decision to relocate to Los Angeles, California, to pursue his passions for acting and filmmaking. He went on to perform in numerous network television shows and films, solidifying his credentials as a talented actor and filmmaker.
After several years in Los Angeles, Terrance returned to his hometown of Hamilton, Ohio, where he rediscovered his roots and dedicated himself to sharing the stories of his community through film. His first documentary, "the HPD stories," premiered in 2005 and received critical acclaim, winning awards for Best Editing and Audience Choice.
Terrance's subsequent documentary, "Breakfast in Collinsville," released in 2012, exposed police misconduct and sparked a landmark civil rights lawsuit, Huff V Reichert, which expanded liability for police misconduct during traffic stops. The case inspired two follow-up films, "Lodging in Collinsville" and "Forfeiture in Collinsville," all available on YouTube.
After a brief hiatus, Terrance returned to the entertainment industry, serving his community through his hometown amphitheater, RiversEdge, and participating in the "Studio 4: Acting Competition" for Disney's Maker TV, where he was a top finalist.
Most recently, Terrance co-directed and produced a five-part documentary series, "The Pirates of Pinellas County," set to premiere on a major television streaming service in 2024.
