Dom,

Thanks for the comment. Yes, you’re right. We’re already branded. And authenticity is all. My real problem might be I can’t be anything other than this… you know?

Good stuff. Although being at the right place at the right time says alot. But in the new age, brand=behavior right? You was who you was before you got here. There is already a Keith Davis brand-a little blues, a little south, a little hip-hop, a little city. Some theater spliced in there. No Jordans, just those ill hard-bottoms. And there’s a certainly a Nikyatu brand already. I definitely have my brand. Tags is one of a kind. So what then? I think it’s all about context. In this new era, since everybody’s trying to push brand so hard, authenticity is what, say, separates Jay-Z from his counterparts, Spike from his. You can smell when you see a person being authentically who they are from the bottom of the soles of their feet to the tops of their heads, and when they’re just pimping for the camera.

Right?

I’m obsessed with self marketing right now Keith…in this prolific (and highly mediocre) indie filmmaking climate it’s up to us to formulate an “image” of ourselves that stands above the fray. Blog/Twitter/Facebook/Website/Teaser/Trailer…we can start a movement: especially us black filmmakers.

I plan to do just that…start a movement.

Hey,

Was perusing and couldn’t help but dig, as well. Reminds me a lot of Claymation. Almost wonder if a similar affect mightn’t be achieved in post by blurring a specific section of the screen, (perhaps shooting telephoto with a lot of distance b4 hand) and cutting frames as above in this strange, almost stop-motion photographic pattern.

Thoughts?

It’s pretty ill. Might make for cool music vid fare as well.

Really? They have this on DVD? That’s the cutest. It’s a wonder she didn’t try to eat it though. That girl loves to eat.

I actually bought baby Courtney the DVD last year during the election…they distributed a special Election School House Rock. Can’t wait to watch it with her one day!!!

Yep. It’s so hard to tell where all of this is going. My guess is it’d be good to know how to do a few things… most of these people are getting fired.

I feel you Mr. Keith. Ironically, I’m trying to get into the groove of writing another one. With that said, may I borrow the book?

MARRY ME JILL!! I’d kill for this woman. And they say big women ain’t sexy. They, whoever the hell “they” are, are sadly mistaken. BGN’s going on record by stating that Jill’s sexier than most women out there. Yep, you heard it here first people.

Keith I sometimes think I’m making a huge mistake by not shooting a feature as my thesis film. What if I never have the opportunity to make another film after my thesis? Sh*t F that. It’s up to me right? Well in the meantime I’ll live vicariously through you sir Davis.
