Friday the 13th Trailer (Modernized)
Check this out.. Same footage but its just modernized to test the times of today. It's great it's amazing what editing can do!
BILLY ELLIOT
I'm so happy that I'm around to live to see that good broadway shows are still developed in this time and age. I am blessed to have been in a successful broadway show Noise/Funk so I know the energy and guts a show must have to really win the audience over. Well i kept hearing about Billy Elliot from famous acrobatic teacher Mara Merritt who had kids of her own that she taught performed in Billy Elliot. I thought it was chessy the name because I saw the film and loved the film but this move from Hollywood to New York that Broadway Producers are taking was pretty annoying to me but I said sure I'll check it out i.e Shrek , Marry Poppins, and Spider-Man.
Well I went with a good friend of mine Caleb Teicher who is a fine dancer himself he saw Billy Elliot already but he suggested we go now . So we went got rush tickets and ended up getting really decent seats.
I was blown away hands down mouth open from start to finish it was everything a broadway production supposed to be. It's everything broadway is missing BIG PRODUCTION,GREAT SONGS, GREAT DANCING. The sets were so amazing scene after scene everything was topped from one number to the next. There was flying in the show wow! was that cool. Very sophisticated show. So they had tap dancing in the show I was happy with the tap because they stuck to what they knew nothing fancy just plain and simple. I do think that if Billy was a hoofer ooooooo boy what a show that would be. But ok enough with that. I think that this show was worth the money. You know how expensive Broadway is I know this show has alot to offer the story is modern to today it's not some recycled mess. The kids in the show are brilliant. At the end of the show I wanted to audition for the show.
One of the Best shows I ever seen! Go see it! P.S It's always PACKED

I made this dvd for everyone who wants to learn the style of Hoofing and whoever wants to know what Hoofing consist of. I think that it was never put on a dvd the right way so thats why I made this DVD. Because I direct films as well and I love hoofing so why not do it the right way. I co-directed the dvd with amazing Shiloh Crawford III check him out!

EMERAH KNOWS
Emerah
My croonie has directed his first horror film. IFOLLOW!. I really believed he has done this before in another life. On the fly we found out one my bestfriends Matt Denoma was coming in town from Singapore,Taiwan, and Kentucky lol with a nice camera and so we took advantage of the opportunity to shoot something. Well Emerah figured out a short story that deals with pop culture today with a raw edge. On the fly he developed a shot list and vision while holding the camera and finished his first shoot under 4 hrs. It was a blast to work with him, a natural professional with actors and understanding filmmaking we shot the film in Harlem and it's being edited for a final cut now.
If anyone needs an amazing screenwriter this is the man. Please believe! GREATNESS knows GREATNESS respectfully.
Emerah is my partner in creating all of my horror films and bringing them to life on screen.
Please tune in it will premier on his famous blog: http://emerahknows.blogspot.com/

BLACK SWAN
Its 2011 and im still hooked to Black Swan. I was honored to have seen this film multiple times what a delight. The direction of this film was so personal for me because I am dancer and it's real the insecurities one dancer may have. The film thrived on an amazing commitment from Natalie Portman she became a ballerina. The supporting cast was strong as well. I loved that Darren Aronofsky took examples of "The Red Shoes" and put it in Black Swan Always pay homage. The story was Great because they took a classic story from a ballet production and made it the story for the film as well. The ending was pure classic. I herd people argue about the ending they didn't like how she died well in the ballet production story she dies so get over it . Plus the ending left you with energy as if you really witnessed a intense version of SWAN LAKE. This was my favorite movie of the year for 2010 because it was everything I ever wanted to see in a movie with dance. May the real directors STAND.
BRAVO
