Immediate Press Release

Dance pioneer Karim “CMACK” Evans, internationally known, recognized and respected in the global Hip Hop community as one of the originators of West Coast Hip Hop, is on the verge of unleashing his 7th studio album “Peace Of Mind” via Uman Records.

The titled single and album “Peace Of Mind” is scheduled for a May 15th digital release. The special edition vinyl release will coincide with the “Peace Of Mind World Tour” in June 2023.

“It has been some time, mainly due to Covid, that I have performed on a lengthy tour. In saying that, I had been on the road and performing for years, so I had to take some time to find some peace of mind to unleash these songs.”

Due to the overwhelming demand from a loyal two-decade fan base, the world tour will start in India in June while confiscating the territories of Asia and Australia from July to early August. Although there is a selection of European dates while other northern European cities are yet to confirm, these dates will commence from September 9th till the start of October.

CMACK, who has performed with Michael Jackson (“Remember The Time” video), amongst a long list of status quo Hip Hop legends (Black Eye Peas), will also slot in dance workshops in-between the live performances.

“Vengeful 7”- Review

Archive, Film Reviews

Synopsis:

June 1944. The allied troops have landed in Normandy and are fighting in France. A group of seven Dutch resistance fighters receive an important mission to help the allied advance into occupied Europe. However, the mission goes horribly wrong and while the resistance fighters regroup at their safe-house, they are starting to suspect that there is a traitor in their midst.

Review:

We know what you are thinking: “Another World-War II, a film in regards to how bad the Germans were during this time and a small group of resistance fighters. Wrong! ” it is not the case.

There is a storyline within this one-hour and twenty-minute feature film that is relevant post-war. There are not many films that would tell a story of the various resistance parties that were working with the “Allies” during this time as well as some who would give away the position of their own.

Remarkably the set of the film captured the closed confinement of pressures that existed during a time when everyone was tested by loyalty in order to survive.

They were fighting for their country as well as maintaining hope that they would be supported.

The filmography is superb in this film and the soundtrack will keep you in suspense. The action throughout the film does not overlap the script objectives.

“Sons of Noone”- review

Film Reviews

Contributed by @JeromeFitts

If you are sitting there in search of a film that will entertain the norm, then “Sons Of No One” suits. From the beginning, Director Hans Vannetelbosch and his production team did a remarkable job of collecting the reality onto film. Kudos to the cinematography and set designer on this short film. The only flaw in this film is it’s simply too short.

“You would want to see the ending of this film as well as put on a pot of coffee afterwards for an in-house discussion.”

The film itself puts the viewer into the setting of a conversation at a dinner table, a family gathering and a deep conversation at the pub. Vannetelbosch managed to captivate the unfairness of government social systems as well as highlight those who strive to uphold their morality cup within that system.

Does it work? Watch the film!

Documentary Review: “Pacing the pool”

A personal “Good News Documentary” that we can all benefit from watching. We owe this director a massive thank you!– WJ

The cinematography, the sound, music composition and the main character (Richard Pace) story warrants a four out of five stars review. The filmmakers did a remarkable job in convincing Richard to share his story.

Imagine recanting a disability you have had for 60 years while showing the world how to continue to live otherwise. More so than not, people lives are celebrated during a eulogy or at a retirement ceremony. Watch the film, his colleagues and family would laugh at the premature notion.

Congrats Mr Pacing you have done that, we are smiling. In closing hats off to the director for capturing a remarkable those examples on film.

Share the Good News Documentary!

Not just your average travelling run and shoot documentary!

It took Director Marco Huertas, three years to picture puzzle through film the life and death variations in six countries. (Cambodia, Germany, India, Macao, Nepal, Thailand). Why? We encourage you to ask him.

From our standpoint we were wondering exactly that? Throughout the near 15 minute documentary we waited patiently but what kept our interest was the remarkable cinematography and sound that complimented his objective. Its good!

“Visual artist and director, George Wada, somehow manages to set examples of what an illustrated musical composition should look like in digital storytelling.“

The 1945 film noir “Detour” is the backdrop for Texas blues rocker Steve Hill song “Talkin’ that Mumbo Jumbo” as we take a journey through America’s media culture.

Mr Wada, of Dog Paw Productions, has taken a simple concept of editing with unlimited resources from a collection of films and applied it to a song that wouldn’t normally see the light of day. We do hope Steve Hill appreciates the concept of Wada’s vision that has complimented his music.

A Music Video Review: “Ride A Wave”

One question for Director George Wada… where did this idea come from? The video is witty, entertaining and most definitely support traditional methods of creativity. The componing parts may come across as a form of “let us put something together to keep the stick in the fire of the industry“, but the quality overlaps that theory. It is a musical adventure.

This comedy is very funny. After watching this we can only assume this was unscripted. I wonder how many times this has happened to others. Karma!

If one cannot take two minutes of their busy lifestyle to laugh then they probably are wasting their time reading this. This short film consists of everything that should be added to a smartphone short film. We love it. This is what one would call: “Utilizing your skillset when you are stuck in confinement!”

“Putting One Foot In Front Of The Other.. Part 1”

SOCIAL COMMENTARY

By Crystal Ellis

“Next year will be my year!” “Next year will be my year!” For years, I would tell myself over and over again, I was going to the Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany. The year 2019 was the year. September to be exact. The event was always on my bucket list, but somehow I never made it my priority. Finally, during this past summer after saying I would go so many times I decided to make it happen. I booked plane tickets for late September and started to plan my trip. Being a woman of colour it’s safe to say that I was more than a little hesitant to be going to Germany alone. After booking the trip anxiety kicked in and I really started to question if this was the right decision for me. All of a sudden every bad article or internet video flashed into my mind. After a slight breakdown, I had to remind myself that you can’t always believe what you read or view online.

This gave me even more of a reason to go rather than my initial Ocktoberfest dream. I needed to put my fears aside and take a leap of faith that everything would turn out alright. I “put one foot in front of the other” and just did it. Upon arriving at the hostel, I immediately made friends with others staying at the hostel who were also attending the well-renowned gathering in Munich.  

Oktoberfest turned out to be one of the best experiences I have had. I met so many amazing people and the German people were not as cold as expected but rather the exact opposite. They were inviting, generous and probably the friendliest people I have met thus far in Europe. Oktoberfest was my original motive but the friendships I made and mutual understandings of our different cultures is what it was about- the positive energy was priceless.

Hmm.. next step forward?.
