SHORT FILM: TOKYO RISING Feat: Pharrell

This past Tuesday I caught the premiere screening of a new short film by Palladium Boots featuring Pharrell called Tokyo Rising at NYC’s Hiro Ballroom. The 30-minute film follows key members of Tokyo’s young creative class in the months following the 3/11 earthquake/tsunami/nuclear disaster as they react to the heightened sense of reality surrounding the dangers of nuclear power combined with living in an earthquake zone surrounded by water. It’s an empowering perspective on the ability of the young artist and activist community’s ability to create awareness and change, not only in Japan but everywhere. It also shines a light on the global influence Japanese culture purveyors have on the world where as they are often perceived as being adopters of Western trends. Most notably, Pharrell has a rare opportunity to explore the MASSIVE underground stormwater management solution the government built for the city of Saitama… you have to see this. Following the 30 minute film was a brief Q&A with directors Thalia Mavros and Barney Waters of Palladium Boots and with Pharrell himself who described the project as ”culturally responsible.” Agreed. Check it out in its entirety above, courtesy of KarmaloopTV.

Streets and Sports: A Trinidad Teen - Mini Documentary

Be it in the streets of NY, LA, Chicago, South America, the caribbean London, anywhere in the world; there is will always be a challenge to divert teens in the less fortunate neighborhoods from crime. I personally feel that it's up to the individual but if society does not care enough to give them more options like better after school programs, sports, education, presence on the streets, job opportunities, etc...then the cycle will only continue...

Seu Jorge and Almaz - The Model (Short Film)

During my international hunt this summer, I came across Seu Jorge and Almaz. This has been one of my favorite EPs in my collection... I'm actually a very big fan of Seu Jorge so when I tripped onto this short film loosely based on the EP I knew that I had to share it with ya'll... Enjoy
