My Life As Producer: Inspiration – Brian Grazer

Yesterday I attended a celebration hosted by Russell Simmons for the new Brett Ratner film “Tower Heist” starring Eddie Murphy and Ben Stiller. The film is produced by a man that I’ve admired for a long time – Brian Grazer.

Brian has been making films for over 3 decades and has one of the strongest track records in Hollywood. It was truly an honor to briefly build with him and garner some insights from the wisdom that he shared with me. Our interaction definitely put the battery in my back!

This journey is only @ beginning. Shout to Lady T, for pushing me to take the leap of faith. - YG (@youngglobal)

Beautiful Refuse Interactive Art Installation

BEAUTIFUL REFUSE is a mobile collaborative initiative and conceptual investigation re-imagining the improvised spaces and settlements found throughout the globe from the favelas of Brazil to the townships in South Africa. Inspired by extensive ethnographic research places such as Ghana, Nigeria, Brazil, Mexico and South Africa, we’ve gleaned a plethora of information which has resulted in the creation of this visual discourse. In recent years the evolution of globalization has made it fashionable to advocate for sustainable architecture and design, but there remains a continued ignorance of the fact that many disenfranchised communities in U.S. and throughout the world have been creating sustainable architecture such as re-appropriating materials, building within “contested” spaces and utilizing ingenious construction practices as a matter of personal necessity that precedes the current trend.

BEAUTIFUL REFUSE seek to not only illuminate the long-standing design practices of these marginalized communities and generate further the contemporary discourse on how these communities utilize the interactive synergy of mobility, architecture and design in order to explore the expressive and humanistic elements of urban development; we also hope to create a beautifully crafted series of sculptural artworks.
