OverDoz's "Crumbling Theory" Lauched!!


OverDoz have given the world a wonderful Christmas Present: Their premier of the most anticipated music video, "Crumbling Theory", Directed by Mac Faulkner and Produced by Ezekiel Philips. This video could take the music industry towards a different aspect on how to make music videos. Also, the music of OverDoz is highly innovate with their style of Hip-Hop, with Rock fused in it to give you a flavor of music that have your senses experience euphoria.

Producer, Ezekiel Philips, have done well hiring Mac Faulkner to Direct the video. Nowadays with the same redundant Hip-Hop videos on BET and MTV, "Crumbling Theory" gives us that fresh air to breath when it regards creativity. The Star Trek motif is comedic and will keep the audience interest mix in heavy with Cannibus innuendos. More of music videos should have a story line to get an A+ with the audience like with "Crumbling Theory" when James T Kush, Mr. Spark, and Bongs McCough is off to find their "magic herb" planet but soon to find their weed-world turned into a barren terrane. Will the starship crew ever survive without the good herb? What will our heros do next?

OverDoz is a freakin' boss Hip-Hop group! Their style, rhythm, and rhyme scheme will sure enough set off the country. Radios will soon blast the music of this phenomenal group. Will OverDoz be the next A Tribe Called Quest of the West Coast, or will they absolutely be Hip-Hop figure heads that the industry have not experienced before? Their mixtape, "Bowties & Rosaries", is music deemed to be everyones iTunes. The mixtape is available through OverDoz's website: http://www.weodoz.com/

Regards towards the making of the video, amazing special effects on board the starship is more than exceptional. It is orgasmic. A lot of the panning and transitions is fluid and precise that you almost think you are watching a movie. Even OverDoz have done a amazing job with their acting. I would like to make a prophecy that they will be on the silver screen one day, to give us a Thespian performance of a soon to be classic. Can I also predict Mr. Philips to produce and direct?

A quick Cinema Secret: The location of the planet was shot at a Los Angeles beach!

Ladies and Gentlemen, please check out the World Premier of OverDoz's "Crumbling Theory"

Have a Wonderful Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Starting A "New"

Many children yearly go through the pains of being the “new kid”: starting over in a new town – or country – and having to adjust to their new surroundings, as well as coping with having to close a chapter in their life, and the circumstances in which it closed. I was one of them, having moved from an Indiana suburb to the busy city of Miami at the young age of ten. So it was easy to identify with the main character in the short film New Boy, written and directed by Steph Green. Based on the short story by Roddy Doyle, NewBoy tells the story of Joseph, a little African boy starting over in a new school in Ireland. Just as I was, as were many “new boys” and girls before me, Joseph was teased and picked on by his classmates, but was careful to keep his cool and stay silent. However, throughout the film, there are flashbacks of moments he spent back in Africa with his father, who was a school teacher. In these flashbacks lie the real reason for Joseph’s big continental move.

Some may not fully understand the magnitude of Joseph’s back-story, but I think we can all relate to a time where we felt out of place or misunderstood, how fortunate we are if we can find at least one person (no matter how small) to stand up for us, how our past can govern our actions, and how all things come together in the end. However, this film did give me lots of laughs (kids say the darndest things), which served as some great comic relief to go along with this endearing story. Check it out!!

What is Love? Well, Love is...



This short is based on the scripture of 1 Corinthians 13:4. Watch the video, and then go read the scripture. And then come back and watch it over and over again. You will discover new meaning each time you watch. Make it your daily reminder of what TRUE love is. Enjoy. (Produced, Directed, and Edited by Stephen Love aka "Docta Love")

MY CHUCKS

"My chucks, come in all shapes and sizes, but the High-top Chucks are made for Ridaz"

As many of you know, if you ever see Zeek and I in passing at school or in our travels, you will often see us wearing our High-top red Chuck Taylor sneakers. These timeless shoes are most definitely the original tennis shoe and have yet to go out of style.

As an independent film major at Spelman College, students of the AUC will often find me walking across the campuses constantly throughout the day heading to CAU's media arts department to head to the Studios or Editing Labs. This fall semester for my Fundamentals of Film class, I decided to do a cleaver little Chucks commercial to demonstrate the very basics of filmmaking and use of point of view. The great thing about film and photography is the many ways you can take advantage of space and environment to portray just about anything. With the support and efforts of a couple of students from my AUC family, we were able to do a quick and fun project.
