The trilogy series and Young-Fountain’s touching performance has reached over 12.5 million views combined and has earned them a ‘Best Webisode’ award at the Urban Mediamakers Film Festival.

From writer/director, Alex C. Muñoz (Sundance fellow; Spout; Riot), GRIOT’S LAMENT III follows Lupe (Yelba Osorio) and Salb (Young-Fountain), a set of fraternal twins who discover their power by helping others. While Lupe comforts a distraught grandmother, Salb helps a wounded girl home.  However, the twin’s plans become distracted when Salb is threatened by two men in police uniforms. While both twins struggle with redemption, their lives become entangled in a web of unrest, heartbreak and violence.

Young-Fountain is thrilled the story is receiving the opportunity to be seen, commenting, “I am honored to be a part of an important series, that brings awareness to civil and urban unrest in our communities.  I hope my character, Salb, gives hope and power to the voiceless.”

Recently, Young-Fountain finished filming the Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting; Milk) executive produced feature film, I AM MICHAEL, where Young-Fountain worked opposite James Franco (127 Hours).  Young-Fountain is set to produce and star in the upcoming feature film "Do You Know the Way to San Jose?" which is currently in pre-production.

After growing up in St. Louis, Missouri, Young-Fountain moved to New York City and ended up graduating from the NYU Tisch school. He graduated with majors in both Drama (BFA) and Journalism (BA).

Blake Young-Fountain is represented by Abrams Artists Agency (Agent) and Industry Entertainment (Manager).
