Every Director has their go-to guy, their Director of Photography. Well this is mine, Spike. Right now we're shooting a music video for G Fella. Yeah, that's the Red camera.

Drums Along the Hudson
My good friend Carl Nelson organizes an annual event for dance, music and culture at Inwood Park, titled Drums Along the Hudson. Laura Turner (pictured left) was being honored for her contributions to the environment. I had lunch with Laura during the event, we talked about the Captain Planet Foundation, which she now runs, started by her father, Ted Turner.

Martha Diaz
My second day at Harvard, we are given a tour of their Hip-Hop museum. Martha Diaz poses next to the book she wrote (in the glass case). The book is a classic in literature that defines the Hip-Hop culture. btw, I have spoken at two of Martha's events in the past, one being on a panel for the H2O Film Festival.

Harvard University
I was invited by the United Nations to speak at a private forum at Harvard University. Other attendees included a handful of leaders from other countries and some professors from Harvard. Professor Summers nicknamed me the "Organic Intellectual" (as theorized by Gramsci). I have a second session tomorrow morning and then I am heading back to NYC.
