Fredric Joseph “Rik” Cordero.. one to watch as a feature film Director. Coming out of the music video world, I have been watching him move thought out the music industry doing videos for Wale to Nas. Rik Crodero carefully and slowly is making his mark in the the big screen. “Starla” which his latest work of art, he gave his fans some love by posting the whole film on youtube. It is good to see young filmmakers making move to the big screen. The film starts out really slow but at the end, it gives you the reason why he was the leading music video guy. Please watch and let me know how you feel about the piece.

We have watched this trailer probably 100 times at LUV HQ. Trust me Mr. Jean (Bushman) has played it for us 99 times. This is simply a beautiful work of art… in the highest form. I can’t wait to see the film in it’s entirety. Directed by Andrew Dosunmu, and amazing lens work by Bradford Young. We must go out and support this film with our patronage.
And when you get a chance, check out the African American Film Festival Releasing Movement for more information about this film, and past works like Pariah.

AS a serious basketball junkie and a fan of Bobbito’s classic radio shows…. you can say that I’m kinda hyped to see this film. From this trailer (beautifully shot I might add), they captured the essence of the NYC street ball game. With appearances by Pee Wee, Dr. J, Kenny Anderson, Kenny Smith and countless other legends, you get the story direct from the source. Cucumber Slice… Culture Champ wins again!!!!!

Synopsis
DOIN’ IT IN THE PARK: PICK-UP BASKETBALL, NYC explores the definition, history, culture and social impact of New York’s summer b-ball scene, widely recognized as the worldwide “Mecca” of the sport.
In New York City, pick-up basketball is not just a sport. It is a way of life. There are 700+ outdoor courts, and an estimated 500,000 players, the most loyal of which approach the game as a religion, and the playground as their church.
“You can play high school or college for four years. You can play Pro for a decade. You can play pick-up … for life.”
DOIN’ IT IN THE PARK: PICK-UP BASKETBALL, NYC lovingly uncovers this movement through the voices of playground legends, NBA athletes, and most importantly the common ballplayer who all day looks forward to calling “next” game at their local schoolyard.
This looks really good a documentary on true school hip hop by the legendary Ice-T. You know before he played a police officer on Law and Order… Ice-T was a prominent voice in the Hip Hop community. On a side not the cinematography in the trailer is what really got my attention… can’t wait to check it out.
