Deon Taylor is set to direct Tink, the debut feature from newly launched production company Limitless Films, founded by veteran producer Arthur Sarkissian and entrepreneur Jas Mathur.
Based on the true story of Gerald Tinker, Tink chronicles the extraordinary rise and fall of an American Olympian and NFL player who became entangled in Miami’s drug trafficking underworld during the 1970s and ’80s. After winning Olympic gold at the infamous 1972 Munich Games, Tinker, a Black sprinter, found himself shut out of professional sports, only to be pulled into a covert cocaine pipeline operating through Miami International Airport. The film follows his desperate fight to outrun law enforcement, organized crime, and his own past while trying to protect the only family he has left.
The project will be produced by Sarkissian and Mathur alongside Hidden Empire Film Group, led by Deon Taylor and Roxanne Avent Taylor. Adriana Sheri serves as executive producer, with the script penned by Jarrett Bryant (Maxie). Production is expected to take place in Miami toward the end of 2026.
Limitless Films operates as a subsidiary of Limitless X Holdings Inc. and will develop, package, and produce a slate of projects across action, drama, horror, and thriller genres.
Taylor’s previous credits include The Intruder, Black and Blue, Fear, and Fatale among others. Up next he’s teaming up with Tommy Oliver for the horror thriller
Don’t Open The Door starring Tyrese Gibson.
Mathur, Chairman and CEO of Limitless X Holdings, brings a background spanning technology, wellness, nutrition, and performance industries. Deon Taylor, Roxanne Avent Taylor, and Hidden Empire Film Group are represented by CAA, while Bryant is represented by Ensemble Entertainment.
