Creatives do it again!! A absolutely beautiful film created by Oakland photographer Eva Kolenko. The film documents how co-founders Alfonso Dominguez & Sarah Filley created the  POPUPHOOD, a new urban initiative and small business incubator revitalizing Oakland, block by block. What a great example of how to revitalize cities around the world.

Much success and prosperity to POPUPHOOD, we hope to have the opportunity meet you someday!

HBTV does it again! Watch & listen to this uplifting story about a shoemaker, Sebastian Tarek.  Sebastian makes custom made shoes specifically designed for each of his clients. 

Great story & a craft that we highly respect. Good luck to you Sebastian on your future endeavors. Cant wait to own a pair of your shoes someday!

Ok, I’m not a soda drinker but I feel like P&H Soda Co. gets it right. Besides soda fountains are a dying breed so I like the extinction control. Nice work Anton & team.

We love hearing stories about great startups. Prospect Productions just recently showcased one that we truly believe in. Listen to the story of Montauk Brewery, a startup owned and operated by three friends.

Wishing you all the best in 2012, Montauk Brewery…can’t wait to try your beer!

Lucky Ant is a really cool new company launched out of NYC. It’s like a kickstarter for small businesses. So basically when businesses we love are looking to create something cool we can contribute to making it happen. Can’t wait to see how this impacts local small biz!

Are you cool? Take a look at a clip from the short film, INFLUENCERS produced by R + I Film. Steve Stoute is the Founder and CEO of Translation, a brand management firm that arranges strategic partnerships.

In this episode, Steve discusses the concept of cool, how new cultural codes are redefining traditional corporate communication and why it’s important to create a successful collaboration between Artists and Brands.

Personally, we find both Steve & his company rather cool! Congrats on the film & we look forward to hearing more about your Creative Business.

What an incredible time we live in. We have an opportunity to create in ways previous generations couldn’t dream of. Technology and production is more accessable than ever. Peter Koller and Ralf Holleis are eating it up with their carbon fiber bike frame - Vorwaertz.

You guys are tearing it up in Germany and we are loving it in NY! Thanks.
