"Good Times" | Music Video

For “Good Times,” I wanted to use a quick dip into my personal life, as a framework to examine to complexities of Black Existence. I’d wager one of the biggest commonalities we have in the Black Experience is reconciling what the world sees/expects of us, and who we really are. We’re haunted by the racialized toxic positivity alluded to in the lyrics “Shut Me Up for the Good Times,” the anti-Black intentions behind mass incarceration in “Lock Me Up for the Good Times,” and cognitive dissonance from a litany of Double Consciousness byproducts.

NEW RELEASE: Mike Bankhead's "Plantation" Music Video | dir. by Paul A. Notice II

We had the privilege to produce the music video for Mike Bankhead’s latest Black Alternative ballad “Plantation.” Lyrics like the quote above conjure the phantoms of slavery in America, and its pervasiveness in the modern Western world.

"...a good haunting."

There are often times I'm reminded of my great grandfather's lessons in practicing joy and compassion for others, just by hearing his own laugh echoing in my own. And through the nostalgic tears of memories, I'm healed. I want to remind people of this kind of healing. Of this kind of haunting.

a good haunting.

02.17.21 THANK YOU 🖤

THANK YOU to everyone who made it to our “Sweetwater” premiere + panel discussion on Black Communal Living.
I also want to take the time to thank everyone who supported me over the years. People volunteered their time, donated their money, their space, equipment, time, AND business to this company - and I am forever grateful for that.

"Ok Trombone, Game Over" | Ok Trombone

Imagine 2 Black witches working together to seemingly escape, then defeat a danger that we cannot see. In a way, that’s the life of Black folx working for liberation - a lot of people can’t see the magic, nor the danger it saves them from.

Starring Ricarrdo Valentine & Regine Bellinger

Here’s some test footage for an upcoming project. I figured it’d need a decent tune to accompany it. And two hours later, this came out. 🖤

Over the years, I’ve made countless little short songs for myself, friends, loved ones, clients - even dates.
Some have words.
Some don’t.
Many are in a cappella.
They aren’t the most polished.
But they’re original.

And they’re me.

An experimental dance film
A meditation on shadows and light
An interplay of repetition and flipped perspectives
A call and response between black creatives
