The Black Fellini

Black Men, Black Fathers, Black Cool.

2011-02-19T01:19:00.004-05:00

The highlight of the year so far and the coolest phenomenon is to see African-American men of all ages and their sons gathered together for a school breakfast. I consult for a few schools in Baltimore City. I love my education contracts because the schools are a direct link to the kids, our hopes, dreams and future. I did a brief stint as a neighborhood school as a Media and Technology instructor

I have been teaching high school students Interactive Media. Editing, Camera, Sound, Directing, Lights, the whole 9. However it is a challenge because my kids are "kids from around the way" they could care less about media, three point lighting and especially a chimera. They are socially stratified survivors. But I may have touched a nerve or too. They are doing great! They did these two videos

Why I stepped away...

2009-12-30T18:55:00.000-05:00

I moved, had a couple of kids and started a new full-time job teaching high school kids film/video and Interactive Media. But I am back and I promise to keep it coming.

It makes more sense as a Director to do more video posts than writing. Now these posts will be quippy, opinionated, nappy, happy, sad and otherwise off the cuff. So here we go...

Guinness Stout Tips Out at the Top

"General" marketing gets all the fun! However, The Black Fellini plans to change all of that ;)"Tipping Point" in addition to utilizing bold vision and making bold moves for this big picture, TP is flat balls out! I mean this is everything the TBF stands for!AMV BBDO produced Tipping for approx. $15M USD, for this single spot! Aside from the amazing visuals provided by director Nicolai

Three Kings ...a Holiday Wish.

2008-12-21T17:45:00.000-05:00

Merry Holidays everyone! I am not doing anything out of the norm this holiday season. I will be here in LA missing daughter #1, who remains back east with her mom, but thankful to be with my wife and youngest, daughter #2, in the sunshine city of Los Angeles.Not likening my self to the one, true King, but as I lay on my straw matress this winter I hope that the north star hovers high above my

Man, I am think I need to rename the blog from the Black Fellini to the to the Blagojevich Fellini, that's right, Blagojevich, Blagojevich, Blagojevich, because for a blog dedicated to bold vision, bold moves and big pictures, its all in the name!But your man, Blagojevich mixed the discriptors around a bit he is more like bold moves, big vision and big movies, as in, 'I wanna play in real life

Self-Indulgence

2008-12-03T15:44:00.000-05:00

I am gonna indulge myself from time to time. Call it vanity, materialism or commercialism, but I believe that one must use vision in all aspects of life. By vision, I don't mean "to think" about a particular thing, rather to listen to how things speak to you. Not to say that the Cellini Cellinium and the Oyster Perpetual spark violin music in my mind or inspire a vision of a flowery meadow but in

Lead Us, Don't Feed Us....Hammertime!

2008-11-26T21:13:00.001-05:00

I sure hope we don't Hammertime Obama. Remember the mega, big star of the 80's with hits like "Can't Touch This." Hammer was about as big a celebrity as you can get. Now I can hear all of the detractors saying right now; "Is he really about to compare Obama to Hammer? Oh-hell-to-the naw!" But before you go for my throat, hear me out.Hammer or the people behind him were visionary. Just when rap's

Negative Space

I remember when I was getting my motorcycle license I learned a crucial lesson. The instructor told us that when you are going to crash - say you loose control and are about to run off the road or need to escape crazy drivers on the highway - 'Always, he said, ' look at the empty spaces.' My instructor informed my class that when you ride a bike, you drive in the direction you look.

Welcome to my blog, I am Director Changa, a quality purist of sorts because quite simply I like GREAT things, great people, great fun, great movies, and great adventure: just overall greatness!Many may wonder why I choose my moniker as that of the late storyteller. It is simple, because he was great. Mind you the Rolex Oyster Pearl is also great, but the Black Oyster Pearl isn't appropriate for
