CHOREOGRAPHY WE LOVE :: Tobias Ellehammer - "Black Or White"
If this doesn't want to make you buy a plane ticket while pulling out your penny loafers, sparkly socks and highwater black slacks- nothing will. If dancing is medicine, this video by Tobias Ellehammer is the pharmacy.

Today we celebrate the king of pop and everything he did for us. Michael wanted to spread good in our world trying to change the bad and heal the world for some of its problems. Unfortunately the world is still in a troubling state. In these times many people look at various links on social media and unfortunately react with fear, hatred and immediately close their arms. Instead we should open up our arms and look to solve the problems together. There should be room for everyone in this world. No matter what you look like, what religion you have or where you come from. We are all one. That's the purpose of this video. To remind all of us how incredibly important love and freedom is and to put something good out into this world. Something that will unite people from all around the globe. The world is beautiful. We should all enjoy it together.
Humanity should be our race. Love should be our religion.

PLAYLISTS WE LOVE :: PAULETTE (FWL RADIO)
Before I start writing a new screenplay I spend some time putting together a playlist to keep my head aligned with the film's tone and feeling. One song that really nailed the mood of my latest screenplay was this beautiful treasure of a song called "Paulette" by Balla Et Ses Balladins from Conakry, Guinea.

Man....When I tell you I had this joint on repeat during the entire writing process, I mean by the time I finished the script, I was damn near singing in a new language. There were too many other gems on the playlist not to share with everyone. Please enjoy these global grooves from everyone from Betty Chung, Misun, Nightmares on Wax, Chicano Batman, Two Man Sound, Tim Maia, Mulatu Astatke and much more. The cheapest way to travel the world is through music, so sit back, crank it up, and get moving.
SHORTS WE LOVE :: JAY Z: "THE WAR ON DRUGS IN AN EPIC FAIL"
This is HIGHLY recommended viewing material, so please set aside 4 minutes to get some insight on how many of our systemic drug-related policies were put into place and remain to be the root of horrific ripple effects in so many families and communities across our country.

Hats off to Dream Hampton, Jay Z and visual artists Molly Crabapple for using their influence and artistic voices in such a creative way to speak up and shed some light on this never-ending epic fail of a nightmare. Salute!
