David: Road to Redemption by ChristianFGY (Trailer #2)

Previously this was called "Road to Revenge," which I posted in ChristianFGY's TKFV Introduction post back in December. Recently the path for the Canyon Springs High School boy's basketball team has been going extremely well, which lead to this name change. Check out the second teaser below to see a little bit of what's to come:

David: Two New Amazing Videos From Graham Raubvogel

We did a big post on Graham back in June as an introduction post. Recently he released these two videos on his Vimeo page for everyone to see. Check them out below:


The video above:

I DWELL IN POSSIBILITY
—Sketching the Future of a 21st Century Education—

Graham was asked by my school district to create a film that envisions the high school education of the future.

The world is changing. Exponential globalization and the growth of the internet have presented new challenges to our nation's struggling education system.

From a student perspective, this documentary explores the problems we face and the tremendous opportunities we are in the position to take advantage of.


The video above:

IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP is Gatsby-meets-the-Y-Generation.

It's a surreal high school dramedy about a young man, Conrad, and the hopes and expectations he has for a girl, that have blown up far beyond reality.

David: Influencers Documentary

I watched this about a month ago and just came across it again today and thought I'd post it on TKFV.

"Influencers" is a short documentary that explores what it means to be an influencer and how trends and creativity become contagious today in music, fashion and entertainment. The film attempts to understand the essence of influence, what makes a person influential without taking a statistical or metric approach. Written and directed by Paul Rojanathara and Davis Johnson, the film is a Polaroid snapshot of New York influential creatives (advertising, design, fashion and entertainment) who are shaping today's pop culture. "Influencers" belongs to the new generation of short films, webdocs, which combine the documentary style and the online experience.


Check it out up top! I highly recommend everyone watch this!

David: Frendy Lemorin x The Yellow Brick Road: Vladimir Calixte

Above is the 5th episode of Frendy Lemorin's documentary series, "The Yellow Brick Road," featuring Haitian-American Comedian/Actor Vladimir Calixte. Known for his comedic skits featuring his alter-ego 'Haitian V,' Vlad wants the world to see that his talents surpass one character. In this episode we take a sneak peak into his personal life. He discusses growing up as a Haitian American, as well as the difficulties that are faced in the entertainment industry.

I was very impressed with how this video turned out. I enjoyed the last four (which you can find on Frendy's vimeo page or personal website), but I thought this one was a major step up. I look forward to the next few episodes to come and definitely give a huge shout out to everything he is doing right now. From first meeting him at the Bape Store in New York City, to working with him over at his first blog, *General-Made, and seeing the creative work and mind of such a great individual continue to expand has truly been an inspiration to me. Frendy is like family to me and without him many of the things I am doing today probably would not be true if he did not introduce me and teach me so many things.

I'd like to start off by saying this looks epic! Steve Berra (The Berrics) joins Mexican skaters Jesus Gonzalez, Eder Martinez, Mario Saenz, Angel Santiago and American Luis Tolentino for this Burn Ignite film, shot on location in Mexico City.

This film was created alongside two short-form documentaries, one featuring Jess Kimura and the all girl hardcore snowboarding film collective Peep Show, the other is a portrait that celebrates the electric lyrics and gritty beat artistry of rapper/poet Julius Wright, aka Lyrical God. All are part of a new campaign from Coca-Cola’s Burn energy drink. Further information available here.

David: Frendy Lemorin x The Yellow Brick Road (Teaser)

Frendy Lemorin

My man Frendy shot me the link to his new teaser last night and after watching it I can tell this documentary for The Yellow Brick Road is going to be DOPE! In Frendy's own words this is what he has to say about the film:

"In the classic movie The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy & her companions had to travel along the yellow brick road in order to meet the all-knowing Wizard. Without going on that path they all would of never accomplished what they had their mind set for. To me, the yellow brick road represents the grind that one has to go through to achieve their goal, there is no other path that one takes to achieve success in life. Without hard work, dedication, and faith your wildest dreams will never become reality.

We all have an option to quit or follow through, choose your path wisely!"

With that said check The Yellow Brick Road teaser below:
