So the word is out (thanks OKP, On Smash, Nah Right and to the trailer too- it is quite a teaser). Video Rahim and I have been frolaborating on this documentary on Talib Kweli for sometime now (98-05) and because of some red tape, the doc has not been completed as of yet. So after 10 years of working on it, we decided to at least release the trailer for all the fans to see and - who knows - maybe add some pressure to the powers that be to help make this doc a reality for Kwe’s fans and fans of Hip Hop Docs. We shot over 200 hours of footage over them 10 years, including classic RE shows to Black Stars first performance in Atlanta… to me touring with Kweli on the Beasties tour and with him and Kanye West overseas.

So lets see what you the fans can do to help make this film see the light of day on your DVD player and not just on youtube!

Also check our reel (Nonstop MovieWorks aka “the Culture Capture Champs”) for some more classic spitage from MF DOOM, Jay Z, Oukast and more…

Our peoples Kool Bob Love aka Bobbito Garcia is featured in this dope docu shot by Adam Yauch (Beastie Boys)

Here is some info about the flick.

Directed by Adam Yauch (of the Beastie Boys), Gunnin’ follows eight of the country’s hottest high school basketball players as they play on the world’s most famous outdoor court: Rucker Park in Harlem — a place where nicknames are branded and legends are made.

Blending this next generation of b-ball players with a mix of raw hip-hop, jazz and break beats, Adam Yauch’s unique kinetic filmmaking makes Gunnin’ an explosively entertaining look at soon-to-be NBA All Stars.

The film features Jerryd Bayless, Michael Beasley, Tyreke Evans, Donte Greene, Brandon Jennings, Kevin Love, Kyle Singler and Lance Stephenson

Gunnin’ (Oscilloscope Pictures) In theaters now. Check out the trailer.

Spike Lee does Jordan documentary

From commercials to the big screen - this must be Spike’s dream come true! Spike Lee announced that he is working on a documentary on Michael Jordan and hopes to have it ready to screen at next year’s Cannes.

Nobody can do it betta than Spike!

(FROM VARIETY) –

Spike Lee announced at Cannes on Monday (May 20) that he is directing a feature-length documentary about basketball superstar Michael Jordan, which he hopes to bring to next year’s Cannes Festival. The project will feature previously-unseen footage shot by NBA cameras during the final two years in Jordan’s career, the 2001-02 and 2002-03 seasons. Lee and Jordan previously worked together on a series of Nike TV commercials. Lee spoke to a Cannes crowd while showing an eight-minute preview of his upcoming WWII movie, Miracle at St. Anna, about four black soldiers in the U.S. Army’s 92nd Division who in 1944 were trapped in a Tuscan village and had to struggle with Nazis as well as their own racist commanders. Based the book by James McBride, Miracle will wrap shooting in July and be released in the U.S. on Oct. 10. (Variety)

Definitely looking forward to that! Think they’ll release a limited edition sneaker for the movie???
