- Respect Life is a gritty, scripted, current-day Urban drama set in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant. It follows a young single father who is trying to live a drama-free life in the harsh, rough and tumble housing projects of New York's most populous borough. Lead character, 'Melo' is played by Boom Pacino who also writes and directs all of the material. The show is inspired by real-life events and characters who live in the projects in-and-around the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. The title 'Respect Life,' is meant to represent the loose moral code of survival on the streets. In order to maintain a bearable and sufferable existence in the chaos of the projects, there has to be a form of order and decency that can best be described as 'whatever you do - respect life.' 'Melo's character is no a saint, but, driven by his role as a father to a young daughter, he recognizes his responsibility to spread some form of common sense and basic values in a neighborhood where none seem to exist. The program story-lines involve family, friendships, petty crime, and shady alliances. The Police, Russian Mob and Drug Kingpins often figure into the plot as they manipulate the less fortunate citizens who reside in the projects.

- Our modern global economy connects disparate individuals in unexpected ways. At the intersection of international commerce, racial identity, and historical narrative, this story follows the propagation of demeaning representations of African Americans. From industrial China to the rural American south to contemporary Brooklyn, we observe the people and places that reproduce, consume and reclaim BLACK MEMORABILIA. This feature documentary takes us on a journey into the material culture of racialized artifacts and confronts us with the incendiary features of these objects. BLACK MEMORABILIA also moves beyond perverse attractions and absolute objections to collectibles and antiques that serve as reminders of America's troubled racial history. In the midst of roiling ethnic unrest in the US today, the film's confrontation of our feelings about these objects strikes at the heart of a pressing contemporary issue and opens a unique dialogue about the continuing legacy of racism in America.
