iFilm... Illegal Activity (Official Trailer)

"Illegal Activity is an action-packed drama set in a rough housing estate in London, yet nothing on the block is quite how it seems. We follow Winston a street level dealer and his crew for one day, witnessing the devastating effect their trade has on the block. Society is crumbling, families unravel and desperation causes internal conflict. The need to satisfy this addiction spirals out of control. Police are closing in and are determined to infiltrate the hierarchy in an attempt to put a stop to this Illegal Activity." - Synopsis

From what I gather, this is Sebastian Thiel's directorial debut and from what we've seen from the trailer above, it's looking really good. Featuring a rather impressive cast that includes Shystie, Sway and Shanika Warren-Markland, Illegal Activity sees its online premiere on March 21. Check out the trailer UP top...

iVideo... Dionne Reid - Angel

On what would have been Tupac Shakur's 40th birthday (June 16), emerging British singer/songwriter Dionne Reid releases the extremely powerful, compelling and heart-wrenching visuals to relay her song titled "Angel" which samples the original acoustic version of popular Tupac and Nas collaboration "Thugz Mansion". You really need to watch this one!

This record "Angel" is in memory of all the loved ones that we have lost and especially in Ms. Reid's case, in memory of her late Grandmother. It is SUCH a beautiful song accompanied by an equally compelling visual treatment courtesy of Sebastian Thiel of Upshot TV and I cannot stop watching it.
