Braid Freedom CROWN Act Parade & Festival 2023

For those who are wondering but have been afraid to ask about long-distance relationships that span continents, this movie may serve as an example of what that's like and the opportunities available for Repats (those of us in the African Diaspora looking to return to the homelands of our Ancestors).
Fed up with their lives in America, Isiko and William look for opportunities in Africa and not only find business opportunities but they find high probabilities of qualified love there as well. DiasporaMeets.com introduces Isiko and Annie Koko from Liberia. They fall in love and it’s fast, it’s exhilarating, and most of all it feels right. Standing between them is only the Atlantic Ocean. Will Isiko overcome the anxiety of leaving the only life he’s ever known while convincing Annie Koko that she is the only woman for him? Will Annie Koko and Isiko’s love connection be powerful enough to fuel a Liberian economic renaissance? Isiko and Annie Koko risk it all for a chance at love. Like Isiko said to Annie Koko: “It’s only the Atlantic Ocean…” A Liberian Love Story.

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO CINEMATIC LIGHTING TECHNIQUES — PART TWO

Cinematic lighting is something most filmmakers are after but what is cinematic lighting anyway? Many people agree that the difference between amateur and professional film is decided by the quality of a project’s lighting. In the first episode of this cinematic lighting guide, we covered the basics of lighting, and the general styles and approaches. Now we’re going to discuss how to get cinematic lighting by shooting subjects, backgrounds, daytime vs. nighttime, and interiors vs. exteriors.

CINEMATIC LIGHTING SETUP FOR SUBJECTS

First, we’ll look at how to light your subjects. Using the most common portrait lighting setups like butterfly lighting, loop lighting, split lighting, and more. Each of these lighting techniques literally casts a different light on your subject, which in turn can alter their characterization and how we relate to them. We’ll also get into how to light multiple subjects in a scene.

HOW TO LIGHT A SCENE — EXTERIOR DAY/NIGHT

There are countless lighting scenarios but they can all be boiled down to basically four — exterior day, exterior night, interior day, and interior night. Shooting outside during the day is difficult mostly because your main light source (the sun) is constantly changing. In our video, we learn from DPs like Robert Richardson shooting Casino and Emmanuel Lubezki shooting The Revenant.

Shooting outside at night presents its own challenges, but with today’s cameras, low-light cinematography is not nearly the challenge it used to be. For example, we learn how DP Jeff Cutter simulated moonlight on Prey or how Jarin Blaschke embraced the shadows on The Witch.

HOW TO LIGHT A SCENE — INTERIOR DAY/NIGHT

Lighting an interior during the day can be a lot easier than shooting outside but you’re still dealing with the sun. DP Roger Deakins blacked out windows and used exterior lighting for the opening scene in Sicario. DP Matthew Libatique had more control with the stage set in The Whale. You can also go more stylized with the nighttime lighting, like Kubrick and his DP Larry Smith did on Eyes Wide Shut.

Cinematic lighting techniques like this are used all the time. And with lessons from masterful DPs, we can all approach any lighting situation with confidence.

SPIKE LEE DIRECTOR’S CHAIR

Spike Lee is one of the preeminent auteurs in American cinema. He built a reputation on a foundation of fierce independence and an unmistakable artistic voice. In this video, we collected Spike Lee interviews from throughout his career. From his film school days, including winning a student Academy Award, to winning another Oscar for writing BlacKkKlansman 3 decades later.

WHO IS SPIKE LEE

Spike Lee was born on March 20, 1957 in Atlanta but spent his formative years in Brooklyn. In fact, there are few filmmakers as closely identified with their hometown as Lee is with that NY borough. After attending film school at NYU, he began his career with confrontational and poignant films while helping to usher in the independent film movement of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s.

SPIKE LEE JOINTS

In 1989, Spike Lee wrote and directed a landmark film called Do the Right Thing. It deals with racial tensions that boil to the surface and eventually erupt on the hottest day of the summer. The film is the exemplar for Lee’s ability to challenge his audiences with uncomfortable topics and no easy answers. As he explains, “For drama, you gotta have two people butt heads. And it elevates the drama when they’re both right.”

For his epic ode to Malcolm X, the studio wanted Lee to cut it down from 3 hours to 2. But Spike refused and explained that to truly honor the evolution of Malcolm’s life, the story needs to unfold organically. And when the budget ran low, Lee had to cold-call everyone he knew to help get the film finished. It is obstacles like these that have molded Lee’s work ethic: you gotta fight for your film.

Spike Lee doesn’t get the recognition he deserves. For over 4 decades, he has worked in various genres and mediums, like documentaries and commercials, and carved out a singular voice. If you’re a filmmaker looking for a guiding light through the insane world of filmmaking, Spike Lee is the one you need.
