ACT Immersively Curator

Dion Fearon is a feature film and television producer who has spent three decades mastering what works in front of the camera—and behind it. Now, she's bringing that insider knowledge to actors through 

ACT Immersively.

Born in Jamaica and raised in Baltimore, Dion arrived in Los Angeles in 1993 and began her entertainment career as an actor, working background on shows like "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" while studying the business from every angle. That dual perspective—performer and producer—became her signature advantage.

As founder of Fearon Entertainment and former president of Diversified Music Distribution, Dion secured nationwide deals with Queen Latifah's Flava Unit Entertainment and mega-producer Herby "Lovebug" Azor. But film production remained her calling. Her first feature, "Never Die Alone" (starring DMX), premiered at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival in 2004 and was released by Fox Searchlight domestically and internationally.

From 2005 to 2009 Dion became a full-time in-house producer for Polychrome Pictures/Warner Bros. She produced the feature length documentary “The Game: Life After the Math”. This film is an up-close look at the life and times of superstar rapper, The Game. The film was release in October 2008. 

From 2006 to 2019, Dion served as producing partner to legendary filmmaker John Singleton, working on FX's "Snowfall" and BET's "Rebel" until his passing. She has since produced the Telly Award-winning "Finding Justice" (2018) and nineteen episodes of the NAACP Image Award-nominated "American Gangster: Trap Queens" (BET+), a new chapter in the celebrated American Gangster series that delves into the lives and legacies of some of America’s most notorious female criminals. She was also a producer on "Ruff Ryders Chronicles" and multiple documentary projects.

With credits spanning features, scripted, non-scripted television, docu-series and documentary filmmaking, Dion understands exactly what casting directors, showrunners, and directors need from actors. ACT Immersively reflects that reality: practical, industry-focused training from someone who's been in the room where careers are made.

She holds a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from UCLA and a Master of Fine Arts from USC’s School of Cinematic Arts.

Fatima began her career in television on In Living Color and went on to direct music videos for Sony, LaFace, Arista Records, and Universal Music while still in graduate school. 

Fatima's debut feature film, "She’s Got a Plan", premiered at the Urbanworld and Pan African Film Festivals, won the Audience Award at the 2017 Cine Odyssey Film Festival, and was acquired for distribution through AMC and ALLBLK. Critical coverage has noted that the film picks up where

"Hollywood Shuffle" left off, extending a legacy of sharp cultural satire that interrogates authorship, identity, and agency in Hollywood.

A documentary filmmaker and 2022 Blackhouse Producing Fellow, Fatima was also tapped to direct Green Thumbs, a Tastemade–Blavity-developed documentary examining how Black communities are reclaiming

their connection to the soil through culture, history, and collective memory. Fatima continues to develop new work across film and television. She is currently developing a narrative project based on her book The Cliff Dancer, a period romance exploring themes of self-discovery, betrayal, love, loss, and the pursuit of authentic living. 

Fatima remains active in the branded and cultural content space, having collaborated with Amazon Studios and
