Great job with Brooklyn Boheme. As a young African-American man who's family left Brooklyn(Bed-Stuy) in the 90's for Virginia Beach, VA. It made me wish more than ever to return home. Just have to find a way to do it.

http://www.youtube.com/user/nelsondgeorge?feature=mhum#p/f This is the teaser trailer to an indie film I'm shooting myself on a Canon 60D. It is called Migrations and its about black art thieves and the mutability of identity for children of the African Diaspora.

Been a busy year film wise. A documentary I co-directed called Brooklyn Boheme received some funds via Kickstarter. Not enough to finish but enough to pay for more shoot days to add some visual grace notes to the piece. It looks at the 1980s and '90s in my neighborhood when a community of young black artists lived and ceased there, including Spike Lee, Lawrence Fishburne, Wesley Snipes and Rosie Perez. Also been piecing together an indie film called Migrations. Did some shooting in Berlin, Paris and London. Will post more details on that project in the months to come.
