I say “five” in the video, but who cares? Still a cause for celebration, and re-releasing all that we’ve done over the years. I’m talking over 250 different projects 🤸🏿
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.
Guess what? I’m finally releasing the Sweet Water short documentary I shot back in 2018. So, I’m hosting a Screening + Panel Discussion event on Zoom to premiere it. And you can see it right here:

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.

Read MoreBack in 2017, I interviewed an artist by the name of Kyle Dion at Okay Space - the performance was one of a kind. Literally. It was the only acoustic version of his single, “Brown.” And the song had evolved so dramatically from the studio version, it was worth me scrounging through old files and contracts to see I had clearance to post it after a given amount. And thankfully, I did. So enjoy this ode to Black Love and Music.
Read MoreI shot and edited this piece a while back in March 2018 for Okay Player, but it never aired. Anyway, think of this video as a look at the other side of Jussie Smollett. The part that gravitates people to him.

After a stranger encounter - where saying 'hi' to another Black person goes wrong - Paul explains why in certain spaces, it just doesn't matter what you say to someone or how you say it. It's who you are that's the problem.
