Tyler Perry Studios Opens in Atlanta
Tyler Perry has opened a new movie and television studio in Atlanta, Georgia.
Tyler Perry Studios opening ceremony took place on Saturday with R&B singer Mary J Blige entertaining the audience, which included celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, Will Smith, Whitney Houston, Sidney Poitier, Hank Aaron and Forest Whitaker.
The new multimillion-dollar studio is housed on 30 acres in southwest Atlanta , and contains over 200,000 square feet of studio and office space. It is located in an area which was once home to Delta Airlines finance, reservation and computer center.
Perry had considered leaving Atlanta after neighbors complained about the noise and traffic in his old studio location near downtown.
“I was thinking about leaving at one point, but this is home for me,” Perry told reporters.
Perry will shoot his TBS sitcoms “House of Payne” and “Meet the Browns” at the new Tyler Perry Studios.
Cameras caught up with Will Smith at the opening ceremony of Tyler Perry Studios. View video below.

I caught your “rags to riches” story on ET last night and am so proud of you! You are an inspiration to us all!
God Bless you in all you do! You are an amazing man!
Dear Tyler iam soooo proud of you. I have 2 daughters ages 12 and 10, they are actors, they had alot of auditions and call backs. I July they went to Austin Tx for auditions they went before 20 top agents and casting directors from LA, they both got call backs with outstanding performances. They were very interested in them but they basically told us we had to live in LA, but as you know it’s hard to make it in LA. Tyler i was hoping you would give them a chance, an opportunity, they are very talented kids, now that you have your own sudio i know you can use them. My girls dream is to get a role on house of payne. Iam sick i just want to make their dreams come true. Thank you
Congratulations! I certainly hope your studio is looking for Product. “Love Your Mama” that came out in 1993 would be an excellent film for a remake. It got nation distribution and was written, directed and produced by me, an African American female, alive and living in Florida. Please email me if you have any questions. Take care and you’re doing a great job. I too smile when I think about your “yes I Can” attitude. It’s great!

Dear Tyler,
I am so excited and proud of you! This is something that is very dear to my heart as being an actress, myself too, I wonder, is there anyway of mailing you or your department any headshots and resumes? Please let me know thank you!
Dear Tyler, I think you are wonderful, Each play and movie has so many reality pieces, i know it touches everyone who has been in some of the situations you have created in your work, I am looking forward to your next movie or play, I have 3 teenage children who are trying to find their niche in life, I hope you do some teenage movies because the children need a lot of positive and motivational messages. Thank you for the opportunity to write this message to you.

Hello Tyler
I am so glad GOD has blessed you with the dream in your heart. Tyler, now our children have a chance at being in the spot light also. A lot of other places are in CA, New York, etc and we most of the time as single mothers can’t afford to send them there. I have a son who is 19 years old and is a singer/actor, please go on Youtube.com and listen to him please and let me know what you think, his name is Felander Stevenson, please email me back at tanyustevenson@yahoo.com
i am dreaming and praying to do some work with YOU… i am currently in rehearsal for a play out of wilson,nc, the play will be playing in march 2009….. the lady who wrote the play is tracy j at lyfetymeproductions, like you she is a wonderful writer, and just starting out, please look her up and talk to her…… she would pass out , if she ever spoke to or met YOU………
Tyler your rags to riches story is a reminder to us all that nothing is impossible to GOD. Thanks!
There are no words to express how much I admire your plays, movies and House of Payne. You have not only inspired my family but my grandchildren never want to miss House of Payne. They watch each show so much until they can repeat the lines before they are said. I have all of your tapes and I purchased them from a store.
I am a travel coordinator and provide tours for seniors and would love to bring a group to tour and see a play or concert in your Atlanta Studio. As we travel I play your tapes on the motorcoach. I organize a tour for a church group every October and look forward to bringing them to tour your Studio October 2009. How can I get information and if you have not decided to have tour, please consider having tours. We are all so
honored to support and admire your success. We all love you too.
Sincerely, Barbara Powell
Hello Mr. Tyler Perry
You are an inspiration to so many people. You have open doors for so many aspiring actors/actress. You have also feature career actors/actress in your movies. I cannot tell you how blessed you are. Continue your success and I look forward to working with you soon.
Tyler,
You are an inspiration to so many people. I am one of those people who have been inspired by your blessings. I am not sure if this is the right things to do but I feel inspired and led to write this note. I am a spiritual individual and believe that God flow his creative attributes through you when he needs you to make a point. You know what I mean? I was gifted with some of my father’s gifts (songwriter for Motown in the 60’). Just to name a few, he wrote, “Just like Romeo and Juliet”, and “The Whole World is a Stage”. Last year I wrote a skit called, “CHANGE”, coincidence, humm!! The skit takes place in an office setting and is about the struggle of those who accept change and those who resent change. It has some funny scenes and I can tell you more about it if you are interested. You can even edit it if you like. Please call me at (202) 265-0202 or 730-1600. Keep up the good work because more changes are coming. Luv ya.
Mr. Tyler,
I am a huge fan of Tyler Perry’s HOUSE OF PAYNE, and I write screenplays. I have a completed episode of HOUSE OF PAYNE and I would like to know how to go about submitting it to your company. I have begun writing another episode. I would hope to be able to submit four episodes per month.
Thank You,
Harguide Hutchinson,
Screenwriter.
Tyler Perry. I wish you continued success and thank you for the laughs you’ve provided.
Keep your spirits high and sign all thechecks, yourself!
I am still homeless and have written 3plays so far. one book and my poetry book continues. I will like to discuss one of my plays.

I have won awards for best Original Play in the caribbean where i did it for fun as i grew up. all my plays won awards. My first play was called Just Once. My second play was called accidents in the home which was a comedy. My first was a love drama. I won best supporting actor at that time. Now i do not know what the judges and the world will say.
LET US DO THIS. Please contact me at moackmal@yahoo.com.
Respectfully yours
Keith.
you are not the first man to walk on the moon, nor the first man to develop a medicine to heal suffering. To truely inspire people, that is where there is deficiency. To allow people to dream and have visions that will not become a night mare. You have done it to a race. Your name will live on as you pass the dream on.
Congratulations to hard work well done, a talent harvested from above.
Keith
Congrats, Mr. Tyler Perry. You are indeed making a difference in our country.

This (Tyler Perry Studios) opening to me is as big as our new African American President!!! I wish you all the best. I have seen every play and movie that you’ve created, and I must say I was always pleased with the story line and outcome. I do have a question, You have done plays, movies and sitcoms. Do you plan on doing reality t.v. projects? If so I have a wonderful project focused on building, empowering and bringing back the respect in our african american communities. I really can’t get into any details because I’m still in the process of copy writing the project. But I would love for you to be the first to give it a thumbs up or thumbs down. Again thank you for your time if you read this.
My husband are interested in volunteering in any way that we can to make your work and studio a success. We would especially like to volunteer part-time at your studio.
Tyler, we are so very proud of the outstanding work that you have created artistically—giving our people a “voice” in the television and movie industries that truly speaks from an African-American’s point of view. God’s blessings on you and your many endeavors.
The dreams and visions I see I can live up to now. Because you have inspired me so much through your films, plays, and shows. No matter where you come from in life I see you can go farther in life. I am just an 18 year old girl and can realize that you can be anything you want to be in life as long as you put your mind and heart to it.
Mr. Perry,
I am an Atlanta native, currently residing on the southside of Atlanta. My plight is I am an actor that is vigourously persuing work, in the Atlanta area. I would just love an opportunity to audition for you and your staff. I am not asking for any handouts, just an audition. If in this meeting/audition you don’t think I am as GOOD as I think I am, no hard feelings. I studied theatre at The University of Maryland, where I first got bitten by the acting bug, some 13 years ago. I am very confident in my work and I think it is time the world see this star shine.
Thank you,

Dear Tyler Perry how you my brother:
My name is Bubba J. South I am an Entertainer, song writer, book writer, movie writer, actor, and Producer, I am intrested in writing and Producing songs to some of your movies, and even starring in some of your movies I am a very creative and talented person and I am very intrested in working with you, I have written 5 books that I think will be hits as movies on the big screen, no crazy stuff, family movies with nice plots,
I am in New York working on finishing my Demo CD, and also trying to get some songs I wrote for Cassie to Diddy, and a duet I wrote for Jay Z, and Beyonce to them, it’s been a tough road, no luck yet, I did see Diddy getting out of his May back on Broad way as I hung around his label to try to find him, but his body guards would not let me near him. I have so much to offer the world as a Producer, writter, entertainer and an actor, but I have not causght a break yet, and I have been at this all my life since I was five years old. by the way thanks for becoming a movie maker, nobody does it like you, u have nice plots, I can’t wait to watch your movies when I pop it into the DVD player, Tyler I am also trying to get in touch with Artist that I have written and produce tracks for, the songs are ready, I have written songs for Mary J. Blige, Cassie, Keisha Cole, Jay Z and Beyonce, Chris Brown and many more, I have yet not got my songs to these Artist, as u know chasing this thing inside of you to do what you can do so easy, but nobody has given you a shot yet, is what we have to do, because it’s what we are as a person, and u just keep your fingers crossed and you just keep searching for the right break to get your product ito reality, I am right where u was, even living out of my car at times to find the right path, but I will not give up as long as I’m breathing. Tyler I would like to mail u some of my material can u please send me an email address to email you. Thank you so much Bubba J. South // email: bjsouthmusic@yahoo.com
Hi Tyler!!! I am so glad u now have your own studio!! I have been a big fan of yours since I was 12 yrs old lol. “Diary of A Mad Black Woman (stage play)” was the first piece of work that I watched of yours. I remember laughing to my fullest and running to school spreading the news to classmates about your work. I have always had a dream of bein in the entertainment industry. The few agencies I’ve tried have not been legit, so therefore i have no experience, but we all have to start somewhere right? So if you can use me in any of your work, i will be willing to do whatever it takes to make my dream come true! I think working me me turning me into a professional actor would really be worth your time!!! You are such a leader for this society and I really look up too you. Yea your plays and movies, make us cry and life, but one thing that i get out of all of your work is that its based on “everyday-life” and it teaches us as humans how to make this world a better place. So with this being said if you think there is an opportunity for me,
My name is Latasha Egwuatu. I’am a senior at UALR i graduate May 16, 2009. My degree will be in Radio Television and Film. I have already directed three of my own short films at school. You give me hope that my dreams will come true in this industry .God has bless you. Keep up the good work. And i would love to be a interm at your studio.
With age comes wisdom! I was a man who thought i could achieve all my goals in life with little or no help from anyone else.If not for individuals like yourself,antawn fuiqua,gordon parks,sidney poitier,terry mcmillian,alice walker,and the list goes on,it would be just a dream.Your living proof that determination,self sacrifice,intellegence,and a personal relationship with the one and only true god,anything is possible if you just belive.Im a 40yr.old working man with a beautiful wife and 2 children who has a concept for a sitcom that is based aroud my own profession for the last 17 yrs. i truly belive it will it will not only compete with the abc shows The Office,Ugly Betty,or any reality show television is showing this or any other season.Im a working man so i need to find out what i need to do first to protect my concept. Im in LA but i dont know a soul in hollywood. I HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING FORREST AT MY FRIENDS WEDDING,BUT I DIDNT HAVE THIS IDEA UNTIL 2 YRS. AGO.I CAN GO TO HOLLYWOOD BLVD. AND SEE THE STARS ON THE SIDEWALK(WHICH YOU WILL BE HAVING ONE FOR SURE),but im just a common working man who belives i have a project you or someone else in the busines would love! I would like nothing more than to see a Tyler Perry stamp attached to it. This black man and mama’s boy at that would do you very proud Tyler. I can be reached at emency@vzw.blackberry.net for any information,phone number,or address. Thank You for you consideration Tyler and Godspeed my brother…… Emile

Tyler, I love your work. I really hope that I get the opportunity to meet you one day. Everyone tells me that my books would make great Tyler Perry movies. My first book, “Sanctified & Still Standing!” was released in September 2008. It is my personal testimony. Please check out my site. Be blessed and stay strong! Dr. T. Danielle Russell
Hi Mr. Tyler Perry
I am 18 years old and will be trying to persue a acting degree from Savannah Arts and Design in the Atlanta area. I am the 2nd son of 4 children. My mother has done her very best as a single mother to raise 3 boys and a girl into fine children. My grandmother and grandfather just recently died approximately 1 year and 1/2 apart. They would love to see me perform for our local church and community shows in Orlando fl. So it is my dream to become a wonderful actor/comedian as yourself. Please keep me and my family in prayer in this difficult season in our life and maybe if God see fit for me to get into that college I will be able to meet and work with you one day in the future.

Hey T.P…
I am so proud of you and all that you have accomplished. Most of all, I am glad to see that you have taken what God has given you and that you are making Him shine… I think God gets a hugh smile on His face when His Children realize their giftings and creative abilities, reach the World outside of those four walls that we call church and inspire others to do the same. No limits, No boundaries, I see Increase all around you, God has released you and has enlarged your Territory. Much Love… your up and coming Brother, Terrance
God Bless Mr. Perry,
I am praying that God will place me in the right place at the right time for his blessings and all that He does for me and my family. My family and I “DREAM” all of the time. My father is an artist and paints the word “DREAM” on canvases all of the time and hang them on the walls of our home because one day when God tells us it’s time to move into a bigger home then we will move into a bigger home but until then all we can do is “DREAM” for our new big house.
Hello My Beloved, Congratulations and Much Blessings to you and everything God has placed upon you!
I just relocated here from NJ and would like to know where I can either come and audition or drop off my P&R.
Thanks and Have a continued Blessed Life,
For the sake of Arts,

Hi Perry,

THIS IS A BOOK THAT ONCE YOU’VE STARTED TO READ IT YOU CANNOT PUT IT DOWN. IT IS ABOUT A BLACK FAMILY IN A WHITE WORLD. PEASE DO YOURSELF A FOVOR AND GET THIS BOOK. I KNOW THAT YOU WILL MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT THIS BOOK. I THINK THAT THE AUTHOR LIVES IN GEORGIA.
THANKS FOR READING MY E-MAIL
I’ll be waiting to see this new movie soon.
Good luck on all of your new projects..
I am very proud of you as a black man.

When your driver pulls out the long driveway of your estate and you see the woman standing on the sid of the road, remember your time on the side of the road;stop and talk to her. Her name is Melissa and she will be there soon like March.
Hi Tyler Perry,
I thank God for you and I pray for you daily. We shall cross each others paths some day soon. We have alot in common when it comes to having a spiritual relationship with God, and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Meanwhile, I love you so much with the heart of God. Keep up the FAITH, TRUST and BELIEVE in God who is in total control of it all!!
Hey Tyler I am an aspiring hostess. I noticed that a lot of people are requesting a chance for fame, and are looking for you to help make their dreams come true. In the event you want to do a reality show, I would love to be your hostess. Feel free to email me.
I’m really trying to get in touch with Mr. Perry. I don’t want any money, i don’t want my name in lights. My daughter is turning 16 in May. May 26. She loves you, your story of a true rags to riches and your ambition to change your life forever. she has hopes of one day becoming an airline piolet.I don’t have much to give her material wise but if she could get the chance to meet you in person that would be something she would never forget and i could say i was able to give her something money could never by and that’s to meet someone who never gave up ..HOPE…PLEASE HELP.
Hi
Thank god you are here to see the new the old and all that we have to offer the world. I understand how it feel to own your studio. The best to. You at. Perry studios
Mr. Perry, watching you on BET Honors tonight touched me in no way your testimonies never have. Although we all have very different and soulful life stories to tell, most sad…yet inspirational, one sentiment holds true and that is Jehovah God IS still in control! Awake this time of morning (2:58am), my nights are sleepless….not just because my 10 yr. old jeep is out for reposession, or because my 12yr. old son has been having trouble breathing or even because the 10 day notice has come “A-gain” to pay rent; but because I have the audacity to hold on to hope (in the words of Mr. President Obama) and continue to PRAY these times of morning! Tyler, keep being the pillar that you are in our America, the one that HAS to keep going when all the odds say STOP, have to keep working when the bills say work HARDER and Longer. I work in “Corporate America”, so to speak and you of all people know, ‘aint nothing “corporate about OUR America, unless your money is green ALL the time”. Stay focused on your vision and Jehovah will continue to bless your every endeavor…..signed, A young black lady in Birmingham, AL
DEAR TYLER PERRY, YOU ARE AN AWESOME MAN AS WELL AS A TRULY BLESS MAN. I FEEL YOUR SUCCESS JUST STARTED AND ITS GOING TO GO FURTHER THEN YOU CAN EVEN IMAGINE, BECAUSE YOU ARE SUCH A BIG BELIEVER IN GOD LIKE MYSELF. YOUR SPEECH HAD ME TO TEARS, IT WAS SO INSPIRATIONAL. IT TRULY INSPIRED ME. I HAVE THIS DREAM OF BEING THE NEXT QUEEN LATIFAH, WHO IS CURVY, CONFIDENT AND BEAUTIFUL. AN ACTRESS/FULL-FIGURE MODEL AND AS YOU KNOW ITS HARD, BUT I WOULD NOT GIVE UP, SO HELP ME GOD. SOCIETY NEEDS TO SEE MORE PEOPLE LIKE ME ON TV, FILM, COMMERCIALS, AD’S ETC. THIS WORLD CANT BE RUN BY SKINNY MINNIE FEMALES ALL DAY LONG, LAST OBAMA SAID IT BEST: IT’S TIME FOR CHANGE, AND IM IT. JUST WAITING FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. THANKS TO WHOEVER READ THIS. GOD BLESS
Mr. Tyler Perry thank you for positive images of African Americans in your movies. The diversity in the family that preys was sheer genius. You will truly be remembered in history as one of the greatest movie moguls in our time. I look forward to working with you soon now that you are an Atlantan.
Dear Tyler, I watched you again on BET Honours Award show. You are truly a genuine creation of the Divine. You seemed almost in pain to accept the award. Accept it. You deserve it. You are a really good person. be proud of it. I understand how you feel, but believe that you deserve all the good that you receive, You are a child of this awesome Universe. I affirmed that night that you and I will make a movie. I have written some screen plays and I know that the Universe will guide this partnership. I am now 64 years and I know that I will fulfil my dreams. I just know that you are trhe person that I should make this happen with. I am not kooky or anything, I love GOD and Jesus and the Holy Spirit as mush as you do. It wil happen. I will find a way. I beleive. One Love. Blessings and Peace always. Just keep accentuating the positive and the rest will take care of itself. GOD is in charge of His world.!!!
Dear Tyler,
I hope this note finds you. I wrote a screenplay that i think is awesome! It’s a moral story, somewhat like the stories you tell in the movies that you do, however, there has been no way for me to get this material to your studio. I called and they told me tnat you don’t accept creative material, but i had heard otherwise a few years back. I can’t say what the screenplay is about over the internet, because that’s part of it’s huge selling point. I hate going to the movies and seeing the same story told. Well this screenplay is fresh and basically an untold storyline, yet prevalent in it’s occurences. I know you will like it, if not the material in it’s entirety, but the basic storyline. Trust me when i say this screenplay will touch people, especially the male demographic. It would be a dream come true if someone could get back with me via email about setting up a meeting with you. I know your time is precious, however, i think you’ll find it was worth your time. I hope that you can find it in your heart to remember back to a time when you just needed that listening ear, that one break, someone to hear you out. I’m praying for a miracle. I’m a writer at heart, but making my money doing something totally to the contrary and it’s a waste. Thanks for your time, and i’m praying to hear from you or Ruben soon. Thanks again.
Hello Tyler Perry,
You are a huge inspiration to me.
I was in an abusive relationship and didn’t have a turning point. But I finally got out in 2006. But through the months I have turned to the Lord and he showed me the way, Managing to learn about him I understood that heaven is a place we touch right now, so that made a difference to me. I would also like to say that people facing change, blessings so often come from it. That let me know that I’ve change.
I would love to share some ideas with you that I have written down, just need some direction. Hope to meet and talk with you someday.
God Bless
Tyler,
I am so glad God is doing good things in your life. I am so inspired by your blessings and i hope God will help me that my dreams will become realities.
Tyler, i have a good history that i wrote and i want to submit it to you for a good movie. How can i get it to you?
God bless you.
Dear Mr. Perry:
To say that you are an inspiration would be an understatement.
Your movies and work have blessed us with a renewed sense of motivation.
We truly believe that we have been guided to you by prayer.
We have a treatment that we would like to have you read(script would follow up if needed).
These requests are many, we understand, but we have a story based on our experiences that are “Tyler” made for the big screen, we just need an opportunity.
Two lifelong best friends, from different cultures(Latino and Jewish)who sought to reach “the dream”.
Struggles, sacrifices and in April 2009 have yet to get there.
Why? Not because of tireless, endless effort. Because we believed what we were hearing and waited.
Faith has kept us hoping Mr. Perry.
We think you would find our complete story unique and interesting.
If you could reach down into your heart and give us a chance, just by reviewing our treatment regardless of what your decision may be would have made it all worth the sacrifice.
We will follow up with a letter to your studios.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Continued success and God bless you!
Congratulations Tyler! you are doing it!!!!! You have been an inspiration to all of us, that just needed to see that people who look like us has a positive message to tell the world. In the black community we have a lot of comedians that would never get a chance to be seen, nor there story told in the way that you tell them:). I have a 12 yr old son, who is very interested in the business and would love to be given a chance to be an extra until he proves himself. We just recently moved to LA on a hope that he can at least get a spot on a national commercial…I know your probably saying,”I knew it was something she wanted” …..lol, but really Tyler give him a chance…his name is AUSTIN CAMEL
remember you can give him his big break.
Mr. Tyler Perry , It truly is an honor to just write in this blog , even though you may never see this .God is truly amazing and to see his work not only in carrying me through rough times but you as well , this is a true inspiration. Stay blessed. With sincerity a sister in Christ .
Greetings Mr. Tyler Perry,
Congratulations on your success and achievements.
If I may introduce myself, my name is Gary Grist and I am a writer. I have written children’s stories, animation scripts, and done concept development work on licensed properties.
My present work is a Hip-Hop musical comedy for Broadway called “THUGZ & LADEEZ”. A take-off on the “West Side Story ” (Romeo and Juliet) theme, I believe it would be an excellent vehicle for a long overdue, Hip-Hop assault on BROADWAY. The theme and storyline is familiar and has proven to be perfect for creative applications of music and dance. Black Hip-Hop culture has spawned virtually all of the creativity and innovation in the last 15-20 years. Why not BROADWAY too? “THUGZ & LADEEZ” with it’s familiar core theme makes it easily digestible and a great showcase for music that is a blend of RAP, R&B, and JAZZ, mixed with the big, brassy, BROADWAY musical style. Unique costume and set designs would probably even influence contemporary music videos. All Hip-Hop needs is a vehicle, and “THUGZ & LADEEZ” is it.
Congratulations Mr. Perry! Its been a long time coming, and you have endured through it all and its paid off. I am encouraged when I see people like yourself and so many others step out on faith and accomplish exactly what you set out to do. It proves that you can do anything if you believe. I have a 13 year old son (Aaron Copeland), who wants a career in acting, he has had some callbacks in LA, but I would like for you to take a look at him to see if his potential is something you can use in one of your future endeavors. Could you provide me with the contact information so that I can forward his material to you.
you
Hello Mr Perry.
Yet again another first for African Americans, Great job!!. I was recently laid off and decided like you to pursue my dreams.I was wondering if your studio would allow me to audition music that I have written. At the least, perhaps a meeting with one of your staff that could point me in th right direction.I have done several plays in Detroit, and some small work in Pittsburgh. Thanks, and kudos to you
Laurie

Mr.Perry, Congratulations on everything you’ve done & r goin 2 do. Everything you’ve done thus far has been great. One thing though…..we need more “Madea”! There has been rumors that she may die off or something, don’t make that a reality because she’s the best part of it all. Don’t get me wrong,like I said everything has been great but Madea is the heart of it all & we need more of her. A lot more! Keep up the good work,God bless.
Hello Mr. Tyler Perry I would like to first congradulate you on all of your success and blessings; my mother is a big fan she loves her some Madea. I want to also comend you on your honesty and humbleness to God throughout all of your sucess. I’ve notice there are lots of people out there that are trying to reach out to you to have the oppurtunity to launch their career in the entertainment indusry, I’m sure you’re very busy and have a heavy schedule but I have been screen writing a project that is work in progress and I’m wondering is it possible that people like me can have an oppurtunity to meet you and share our work with you and get your opinion? I would love to just shake your hand and meet you. Thanks and God Bless You I’ll see ya at the top
Hi Tyler, my family and I are absolutely love all of your work, you are truly blessed! We will be down in Atlanta for my daughter’s spring break and my sister, her daughter, my daughter and I wanted to know if tours of your studio are available. If not, perhaps we could take a picture inside the studio and then you guys can kick us out. Please respond, thank you for your time. This would really mean a lot to us, thanks so much! Way to go Tyler, YOU MADE IT!
Respectfully,
Carolyn
Hello Mr. Perry. I have enjoyed every movie that you have made. It inspires me every time I recall the words you once quoted regarding your life experience from being homeless. You said,” you may get a thousand no’s from man, but all you need is one yes from God!” This may not have been your exact words, but it’s close. I’m looking for that one yes from God! I wrote a “Book of Poetry” that I attempted to send to your studios; however, a receptionist said that you do not accept solicitation. I would like very much to send you a free copy. Maybe if you made a “Family Reunion 2″ , the beautiful lady can recite some of my poetry on stage. I’m sure that your genius mind can think of something! I’m awaiting your response!! God Bless!!!
Is there any chance that a 55 yr. old latina, that is quite funny, can actualy make it into one of your films? I have dreams & hopes that it can possibly happen. I recently wrote, produced & starred in a comedy move, & that left me wanting to do more. Anyway, I didn’t think it would hurt to ask. Thank you.
Dear Mr.Perry I’ve visited your studio it’s nice.people in ALT. would like to see the studio they and other every day fans that helped support your success.would like to share in it. Have a open house foe them , LOVE ROUGH CLAY
please make a movie out of rough clay people love the book let some people read it and you will see. looking for a break
Mr. Perry,
TO GOD be the GLORY for what he is doing in your life. I know you are a very busy man with many ideas………..Thought for a movie one day. The Life of Ms.
Lena Horne..the reason for that reason is i was looking at a rerun of an awards show where they were honoring Ms. Diand Ross which was great. Alicia keys introduced her and all i could see/hear was Ms. Horne. Alicia sounds like her when she talks…………just a note.
Thanks
MaryJane
Tyler, Tyler, Tyler, I love every movie and play that you’ve produced and written. I’m always watching every show and play. If I had a choice of my favorite show, to tell you the truth “there all my favorite”! I am your favoroite fan. I’m hoping one day I will be able to visit or even get a pass on the set. I will love to take a trip to a fantastic studio. I am so pride of you. May God keep Blessing you. As a matter of fact, He is Blessing you. Thank you for reading my comment.
Tyler my books were sent back unopened. It seemed like I had failed to get to you which I though was my only hope for my books to become movies. But guess what?Just like you I have God on my side. Always had. You are the man but God can work threw you. I f you would have given my book a chance he would have touch your heart, sence you,re in touch with him there’s no way you would have sent them books back.Millions of people want you to give them a break I understand. I hope God gives you a light that will shine my way. RoughClay
Tyler we love what you doing brother don’t let anyone or anything distract you for your passions and dreams!
me again some kind of fate my birthdate is the same date the aboved (Edward Fulmore) sent you his comment May 24th 1979 things of God always come with confirmation so if you need more he’ll send this io one.
sorry not to be like obsessed or anything I am from Barbados , Rihanna’s beautiful country and mind to I have a great need tyler for this world and you to know some things but keep writing and try to keep God in the mist of everything tyler and keep your eyes of worldly things the women , the vanity and try in the process of getting the word to sinners not to come down to low to they level because good and evil are not friends , but GOD is good all the time,all the time God is good.so excited awaiting your call.
hello
this message is for mr. Tyler Perry. a week ago I lost my fist boy by a miscarriage. I locked my self in the house and try not to get in touch with anyone, but what I’m trying to say is that why don’t you try to make a movie and include this section in where a women had a miscarriage and nothing she could have done to save her only child. and hopefully this can help someone in my situation and I’m pretty sure that there’s more women in this country or in a part of the world where your movie might touched her.
sincerely, a women who don’t know how to handle this situation
WOW, just passing through and I am but shouldnt be in shock, regarding all the responses you are getting.
I love and admire your work! God is Good…. All the time..
Mr Perry,
Congrats on all your success. You inspire me to keep writing. I’ve written a screenplay, but I’m afraid to send it out. What is the best way to go by attempting to sell it?
Way to go Tyler, it’s about time we have a movie studio that can put our views, thoughts and our perceptions of life out there! Keep up the good work!!!
Dear Tyler :
I am so proud to see you walk in the gifts for which you have achieved much success. Iam most proud of the fact that you have not forgotten where you started. I am a travel coordinator and many of my trips are with groups that travel via a chartered motor coach. Your projects have been a great source of entertainment for our group. And finally I would like to have an opportunity offer my Biblical Counseling ministry to your company. I find myself often studying the characters of your projects and I am always concerned that the essence of the spiritual message is not missed in your projects. As a Sunday School teacher the reference to God that you often give to your projects has raised some concerns about the genuiness of the content. I do get it and would love very much to personally meet you. I am not looking for a role in one of your projects neither do I ahve anyone that I want to recommend for a role. But I would like very much to dialog with you regarding your future projects and how you can expound on the spiritual aspect of your story lines. I love your work and wish God’s richest blessings for you. I hope my communication to you will not be received by you the way the mainstream received you when you were trying to get started. Hopefully this brief correspondence will result in a reply from you to me.
God Bless!
Gloria P. Batts
I hope some day I am able to have the pleasure of meeting the awe inspiring Mr. Tyler Perry who has demonstrated what not giving up really can achieve.
Blessings!!
Gloria P. Batts

Hi Tyler,
I have a great deal of admiration for you , your love for people , and most of all your Love for God. Continue to maze forth in truth. Hope to meet you someday!

Jacqueline
Dear Mr. Perry,
In your interviews you say that your movies are predominantly watched by the African American community but I am here to tell you that you have one 60 year old Irish lady that “predominantly” watches your films. It must be my age, but most of the movies and TV shows don’t do it for me anymore. Your films make me laugh, cry — they touch your heart & remind you that you have a soul. Do the 2 for Lionsgate and just do it yourself. Distribution and all — you can.
Fondly, JRomeo
Hi Tyler! Thanks for producing movies that are Christian but not offensive to non believers. We are Filipino missionaries based in Baltimore and have a ministry in our church called MediaKnights. We use theater arts to reach out. We believe that God is using the media effectively for the expansion of His Kingdom here on earth.
Please produce more. We always watch and promote your movies. Last Monday during our day off we watched “I Can do Bad by Myself” Well, it is like being in a church service complete with music and message. Hope to see you reap awards soon. You chose your cast well.
Is there any chance that you can swing by Baltimore and visit our church? We are predominantly Filipino professionals who are full time missionaries and part time nurses, teachers, physical therapists, businessmen and engineers.
Dear Mr. Perry,
First let me compliment you on your work and accomplishments. I’m sure you get thousands of messages just like mine but I figured its worth a shot so here goes. I am a 27 year old female who was recently laid off from work and took the time off as a blessing and focused on finishing my screenplay. If you have any interest in new screenplays please email me contact further information.
May you continue to be blessed,
Sarah
Dear Mr. Perry,
How are you? Don’t be lying….ha ha I care about you. You have put the Lord as your platform in all of your accomplishments and God will honor that. But with so many demands on your time, I wanted to take this moment to pray with you, for you and let you know that their is someone who is calling you name out before the Throne of God and asking Jesus to renew your strength, and continue to guide you in righteousness. It would be an honor to become your prayer partner.
Your Sister in Christ,
Michelle

Thank you so much mr. Tyler perry i do need your help.
Mr. Perry, I must aploud the opening of your own studio. As a engineer/Designer in Sound and Lighting, mostly shows that are musicals such as Show Boat and Fiddler On The Roof to only mention 2 ofe the last 25 years of profeshional and community live theater I can appreciate the work you have put in to be able to have your own studio where total control is yours! I currently am on SSDI and I may as well admit to it a White Girl of 58 Wishing to get back in theater or movies designing/mixing sound my favorate and lighting design and operation. Iam also an electriction in the world of live stage where most of my experance was learned and later as a pro in live theater in Austin Texas for a while. If you find you need a dedicated sound and lighting design person that knows music (I am a percistionist and have played wood wings along with writing songs on a computer system) I can not do it for pay but as far as I know, I can do this work for expences. I beleve you are one of the best in the field and should be up there with John Wayne and other great thinker and invistionist of this countery. By the way Theater never was able to pay the bills so my main income was consulting in the data processing business mostly working for The Department of Energy as a computer Security Auditor.
Let god keep guiding you in his positive way with huge sucess as you do have the talent and the friends that can help guide you to be larger than Sony and that would be a wonderful thing to see happen!!
Best wishes Renee
Living and Deeply missing not living where community theater or pro theater is an importent part of my town but, here theater is driving 60 miles and spending an outrages amount of money for popcorn and watching a film where the sound is terrable and way too loud as the design of the sound system is not correct fo the venue.
