This 45 second film debuted on 12 in-arena screens and projected on the court before player introductions at Nets season opener on November 3, and will be shown at home games throughout the season and used in other promotional capacities. Three important elements came into play with the film. Not only would it be debuted before the team’s season opener, but the game also marked the first game of the high-visibility Brooklyn franchise and the initial game at the NBA’s newest arena, the Barclays Center.
The Famous Group, who have worked with the Nets since 1997, developed the theme “Arrival in Brooklyn” and conducted a live action shoot portraying Nets players in and around the new arena. Stars such as Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Gerald Wallace and Kris Humphries, are shown arriving by taxi, subway and sidewalk, intercut with shots of uniformed players inside the Barclays Center. The film adheres to the Nets‘ iconic black & white branding, shot entirely in b&w and featuring players dressed in white shirts and black suits and ties. The film’s feel is reflected in the score, an original hip-hop track composed and performed by John Forté entitled “Brooklyn.” “We wanted an idea that was as big and grand as the Barclays Center, and fresh and cool as Brooklyn,” said Andrew Isaacson, executive producer, The Famous Group. “This film captures that attitude.”

Mónica Cruz Shows Her True Self in the new web film for Agent Provocateur Lingerie. Cruz is the star of this glamorous, dark and mysterious spot for the Lingerie makers Autumn Winter 2012 campaign.
The film is set in what seems to be an old English goth castle, where a woman, "Wilhelmina" who just happens to be the lovely Monica Cruz comes to have her picture taken. But this photographer seems to have a magical camera, one that can reveal your true self, and in Cruz' case a very enticingly sexual and beautiful woman strutting and posing in Agent Provocateurs newest lingerie collection. Roy Holder who plays the camera man seems have some trouble containing himself while watching his camera work it's magic with Cruz.

Two short films directed by Matt Checkowski and produced by The D4D, Porter Braised Ox "Cheek" and "Mixed Berries, Three Ways",” have been named part of the official selection for the 7th Annual NYC Food Film Festival, which runs October 23rd — 27th, 2013 in New York City. The Food Film Festival (http://thefoodfilmfestival.com) sprang from the imagination of Festival Director and Travel Channel host George Motz, the documentary filmmaker behind the award-winning Hamburger America film and book, along with co-creator Harry Hawk. Through documentaries, features and short films, the Festival showcases the best, and the most memorable, of the world’s favorite foods. Along with a heaping helping of mouth-watering films, Motz, Hawk and company serve up the food that guests are watching on the screen for a multi-sensory experience.
“I am excited to be a part of the festival and to screen these short films for audiences who share our passion for unique food experiences,” notes Matt Checkowski, Director/Founder of The D4D. “Connecting the visual narratives with a story for the palate makes for an inspired take on the traditional film festival.” Porter Braised Ox Cheek" and "Mixed Berries, Three Ways” feature Chef Martin Berg of Michelin-starred restaurant Mathias Dahlgren as he prepares some of his favorite dishes. The films are part of a near painterly short film series surrounding Berg’s appreciation and mastery of fine ingredients. Each unfolds in reverse; an homage to culinary magic. This is the second time The D4D and Matt Checkowski have had work in the Food Film Festival. Two years ago the Chicago iteration screened its short film for Intelligentsia “Espresso” The film is part of a series created for Intelligentsia’s core audience of coffee obsessives and artisanal culturistas. Food and drink are reoccurring themes in The D4D's storytelling. Checkowski recently curated a collection of stills taken during his culinary content adventures, exploring the oldest bakery in Berlin, meeting the rock star butcher of London and a master class with the Pope of Foam.
