Talented Filmmakers

Sorry about the brief hiatus, my mac hard drive died a week ago, I've been out of commission for a bit but I'm back.

Lately I've been meeting a lot of talented filmmakers and I figured I'd share some of their work with all of you.

This is my friend Midori's Documentary on the Politics of Race and Gender in Hip-Hop Culture. She has interviews with Big Sean, the Cool Kids, and FM Supreme on here, its interesting to see where all these people are coming from and their take on the questions Midori asks, check it out:

Also, In meeting Pharrell Williams the other night (yes, something I will write about in detail later) I got to meet up with these talented Northwestern Students and Independent Filmmakers representing Sky Pilots Chicago. Check out their interesting take on film on their website (linked above). My favorites are probably Chapter 4 & 5, but they all are really captivating. I really dug the music they used in their projects, and one of them actually got at me about possibly using some of my tracks in one of their upcoming episodes, we'll see what happens but for now check out: Chapter 5: Michigan Avenue
