Congratulations
Bob Bryan! Your production GV7 Random
Urban Static: The Iridescent Equations of Spoken Word has
been selected to receive a CINE Golden
Eagle Award. This award recognizes
the excellence of your production, whivh has been judged through CINE's
thorough and renowed jury process. For over 50 years, CINE
has recognized many of our most celebrated films and filmmakers, and it
is a pleasure to welcome your production into CINE's
long and storied archives.
CINE is a consortium formulated to depict American life and thought realistically for a global audience. CINE recognizes and fosters the highest quality of non-theatrical film and video production through its semi-annual film competitions.
CINE, founded in 1957, celebrates its first half-century in 2007. The CINE Eagle Award is among the awards CINE has offered since spring 1985. Eagle and Golden Eagle awards are given for a wide variety of film or television genres and amateur, student, professional, and government categories.
Notable CINE Golden Eagle Winners: Steven Spielberg ( DreamWorks, SKG) , George Lucas (Lucasfilm), John Lasseter (Pixar/Disney), Barbara Kopple (won two Academy Awards), Charles Guggenheim (Oscar Award Winner), Ken Burns (Seven Time Emmy Award Winner), Bill Moyers (Bill Moyers Journal), Ted Turner (created CNN in 1980), Roger Ebert (Film Writer & Critic)...
"Spoken word. OK, some uninitiated folk, some folk who watch parodies of the same on Mad TV or Def Comedy Jam or perhaps see it performed badly at some coffee bar will snicker. But the Graffiti Verite' 7 documentary Random Urban Static: The Iridescent Equations of Spoken Word illustrates and expounds on the singlar thesis that this art form is indeed bon mots. Poetry. Subject to the discipline and devotion of craft. Indeed, the only additional element is the performance mode of the poet. Performance implies a primary purpose of "for the people," rather than serving a brooding ego or exorcise personal demons.
Directed by filmmaker Bob Bryan, the focus here on the craft, rather than the personal quirks of poets Natalie Patterson, Poetri, Sekou tha misfit, Hunter Lee Hughes, Vejea Jennings, Common Ground, Bridget Gray, Mollie Angelheart, J. Walker, Nick Lopez, Tim'm T. West, Rachel Kann, The Lindz and Eric Haber.
Yes, their personalities and inspirations shine through, but the essence of craft is what Bryan captures, honestly and admirably. Craft in the poets sharing their philosophies on why they do what they: "People do not listen. They only hear static, the noise." Or how humor, irony become allegory for deeper problems, such as a jaded ode to the south's own caloric noose on the black man: Krispy Kreme Doughnuts.
If you don't know anything about spoken word but the HBO versions, or think you know something about poetry but wish to know more, check out Bob Bryan's Random Urban Static--and learn, understand what's been there all along. Devotion." --Review by Christopher Chambers

Congratulations
Bob Bryan. You've won an 2009
Accolade Award-! The judging is complete
and the results by category are:
GV7 RANDOM URBAN STATIC
* Award of Excellence -Category
- Television: "Arts/Cultural/Performance."
You can be proud of winning an Accolade.
The awards go to those filmmakers, television producers and videographers who produce fresh, standout entertainment and compelling documentaries. The Accolade is an international awards competition in it's fifth year, and is considered a top tier competition. It honors professionals, established and emerging, who demonstrate exceptional achievement in craft and creativity.
The judging standards are high and winning means the craft and creativity exhibited by your entry is outstanding and stands above other productions.
"What was interesting, and what makes Bob Bryan’s film less of a "movie" or a "production" and more of an actual documentary was that there didn’t seem to be a message across the poets. Each poet was represented as an individual, with their opinions, beliefs and experiences allowed to interact and contradict. The movie opened up a discussion and didn’t try to pigeonhole any poet into a “performance” mold. Where one poet insists upon the poem working on the page, another poet insists that performance poetry is entirely focused on performance to the point that she doesn’t write her own work down. Where one champions directness and accessibility, another celebrates the bizarre and random. One defends the hip-hop connection to performance poetry, and another advocates breaking away from that connection and some of the negativity it brings to performance poetry. This discussion opens up the idea of performance poetry as an evolving movement with many voices, and not necessarily a static entity with no potential for growth or change.

Congratulations Bob Bryan on GV7
RANDOM URBAN STATIC winning a 2009
Telly Award in
the category of "Entertainment."
Founded in 1978, the Telly Awards is the premier award honoring outstanding local, regional, and cable TV commercials and programs, the finest video and film productions, and online film and video. The Telly Awards annually showcases the best work of the most respected advertising agencies, production companies, television stations, cable operators, interactive agencies, and corporate video departments in the world.
The Telly Awards receives more than 14,000 entries annually from all 50 states and countries around the world. Entries in the Telly Award competition do not compete against each other. Rather, they compete against a high standard of excellence. To receive a Silver Telly, entries must receive a score of 90 or higher from the judges. Entries that receive an average score of 70 – 89 are awarded a Bronze Telly. The statuettes are designed by the same firm that designs the Oscar and Emmy awards.
"Once again Bob Bryan has produced a collage of impressions that represents contemporary spoken word artists; their lives, their ideas, and their art. Through a series of responses to informal interviews often in the poets' homes, or in parks, and cafés, and through open air informal and formal indoor stage performances of their quintessential craft, we learn about their voices and messages and their struggles and vulnerabilities as artists and human beings.
Spoken
Word as opposed to page poetry is a literary artistic performance in which
lyrical rhyming narratives are presented with a raw, honest intensity designed
to move the audience to action. The poets on this
DVD all have some form of this agenda whether the form is self-exploration,
political consciousness, empowerment, activism, or social and behavioural
change." --A
Review by David Fraser - Featured Writer for Ascent

Congratulations Bob Bryan . You've
won an Indie!
Graffiti Verite' 7 : Random
Urban Static has just been awarded The
Indie Fest Award of Merit
in the category of " Feature Documentary."
The Indie Fest is an independent,
top-tier international film awards competition.
Our goal: The Indie is about helping independent filmmakers gain publicity and secure distribution, the Holy Grail of filmmaking. We have relationship with distributors friendly to independent filmmakers. Entries are judged against high standards of excellence and against each other. The Indie Fest provides an equal chance of winning for all entrants, regardless of size and budget. Entries are judged on quality of craft and creativity. The Indie Fest is a showcase for cinematic gems and unique voices. Notable artistic and technical productions that exceed industry standards are recognized at the Award of Merit level. Judging standards are high and selective.
"The most talented spoken word artists, or rhymecologists proffer clever, vocabulary acrobatics as observations about the way we live in the world. They spit unexpected couplings, laying them down, end to end, from the beginning to the send. They lay bare naked truth for you to hear, see and feel.
The tightest lyrics provoke thought, pain and laughter. And when the performance is over your mind and heart are worked out from riding the gymnastic gyrations of verbal uneven parallel bars.
‘GV7 Random Urban Static’ is a documentary I watched over the past few nights. It sits you down, up close and personal with 15 spoken word artists and lets you listen and watch as they open up about the creative process and what compels them to rhyme." --Review by Carmen Dixson (All About Race) and (BLACKSPIN)

"Spoken Word is an often misunderstood art form. One viewing of Graffiti Verite' 7 should clear up all misunderstanding for those who pay close attention. More than just two hours of pure poetry, Bryan World Production's Graffiti Verite' 7 is a hip-hopumentary of a world class order, a documentary that walks inside the universe of hip hop and Spoken Word and gets to the heart of it without pulling the soul out from underneath. With interviews and visual cues interspersed with the lines and verses of the featured poets themselves - sometimes in performance and sometimes during bouts of inspiration - Director Bob Bryan delivers a thoughtful and provocative look at Spoken Word as an art form, as well as, a lifestyle." --Poetry DVD Review by Poet, Allen Taylor, WORLD CLASS POETRY
" In
fact, the DVD shows most of the artists working with the page before they
come to the mike. Because it contains a critique of the violence
and sexism in Hip Hop, as well as analysis of the role of Hip Hop and Spoken
Word poetry in the culture, this DVD is to be recommended as a classroom
tool for writers and artists going into classrooms to share their visions
and for classroom teachers who want to provoke a discussion. These
artists COMMUNICATE big-time. " -
Nancy Shiffrin, PhD.

" The minority artists are so well represented and come across with such integrity, intelligence, and cultural and artistic knowledge. This will do a great deal to help dispel the usually wrong impression that Graffiti Artists are anti-intellectual and unaware of anything other than their own wish to express themselves..." -Andrew Connors, National Museum, Smithsonian Institution
"Appropriate
and useful classroom material..." -Committee
for The Los Angeles County Office of Education
"
This Documentary helps dispel the prejudices against Graffiti Art and draws
the viewer into the world of Hip Hop through stunning visual imagery."
-Airbrush Action Magazine
" The strength of your Documentary is that you focus on the commentary of the artists...to understand their thinking and what motivates them is really important to an appreciation of this art form." -The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles CA
"Close-up and personal! This newly released and beautifully produced Documentary uncovers the underground Los Angeles Graffiti Art Movement and explores it's relation to contemporary Hip-Hop Culture." -Public Art Review
"A must-see video to understand what is happening to the inner world of today's Urban Children." -Wisconsin Bookwatch
"The colorful, neon-like murals seen here (far removed from the ugly gang territorial markings) are, rather, the brash Picasso's of Hip-hop culture." -Booklist Review
"Intelligent
and in-depth. It's 45 minutes of art...From Gallery shows to the
stuff on the streets. Graffiti Verite' is sure to open your eyes."
-
Juxtapoz Magazine
"The Documentary's narration is done by the spray-painter's themselves...They trace the history of Los Angeles' Graffiti to the pre-aerosol says of the 1940's, explaining the evolution of lettering styles and the expansion of tagging into what they call 'piecin' ". -Los Angeles Times
"A mind expanding experience in peoples' -as opposed to commercial culture." -MSRRT Newsletter
"I
kept being reminded of works of Keith Haring and Salvador Dali. I
guess in some ways all art begins as rebellion ! The M.B.C. would be honored
to add the program (Graffiti Verite': Read the Writing on the Wall) to
our extensive collection of award-winning documentaries."
-The
Museum of Broadcast Communications
"The strength of your videotape is that you focus on the commentary of the Artists...to understand their thinking and what motivates them is really important to an appreciation of this artform." -The Museum of Contemporary Art
"...Graffiti Verite' is gritty and does not glamorize Graffiti Verite." -Bolton Colburn, Senior Curator, Orange County Museum
"The
range of the Los Angeles Artists and styles included in this video is mind-boggling...Filmmaker
Bob Bryan captures the tense energy of the writers by not allowing the
viewer space to reflect on or time to absorb all the information he packs
into this video !"
-Public Art Review
"Required
viewing for all citizens of big cities that don't understand the significance
and impact of Graffiti Art..." -Rap
Pages Magazine
"The
work shown in the video is very impressive, even more so when you consider
that the primary tool here is a can of spray paint."

please contact Loida @ (bryworld@aol.com).
I don't know about you, but from where I sit the machinations of what a DJ actually does behind the "wheels" are downright fascinating. Consider the superior manual dexterity that is required to manipulate faders, switchers, equalizers, turntables (usually 2) all seemingly near simultaneous in their execution, in order to create a beat! Imagine?
Watching those fingers move, teak, manipulate, skratch, push, slide and reverse actions are a sight-to-behold. The counter-intelligence at play here is awe-inspiring and unique. The ability to create a sound and move hundreds sometimes thousands of people to move rhymatically is Genius, yes Genius!
Definition: A genius (plural genii or geniuses,[1] adjective ingenious) is a person, a body of work, or a singular achievement of surpassing excellence. More than just originality, creativity, or intelligence, genius is associated with achievement of insight which has transformational power. A work of genius fundamentally alters the expectations of its audience. Genius may be generalized, or be particular to a discrete field such as sports, statesmanship, science, or art.
These magicians convert raw sound or what some call noize into music. To watch a great DJ spin his magic is analogous to watching a master drummer or cellist or pianist do their thing. Only with turntablists you gotta turn up the speed dial to warp speed. How do they do that ?... and how do they process information that quickly?
Brain to hand, instinct to hand, hand to brain, hands to equipment and what comes together is a "new Sound" reconfigured and wrapped around the accidental sculptured nature of the moment. Irregardless of the method to their madness, look out upon the floor. The results are in the vast pool of head nods and contorted bodies that are compelled to create new dance illness because of the rhytmns of the music. This is sick!!
But understand not all are called to this game with dynamic innate gifts, but the ones that are talented whewww it's magic man! Like great poetry it's a gift and for those who got it and you're in the audience... be prepared to be transcended and lifted outta there.
The "wheels" or turntables
themselves is just like any other instrument. Some people are really good
at playing and others often are just pedantic.
(Please keep in mind that for years
now the turntables have outsold guitars.)
Enuff said!!!! Enjoy listening
to these DJ's describe what and how they approach their craft. Listen

THE FIFTH ELEMENT: The Art of
the Beatboxer
Available NOW
for downloading at Payloadz.com
.
GV8 The Fifth Element: The Art of the BeatBoxer is both documentary and tutorial. Learn the basic techniques to developing your BeatBoxing skills.
Beat Boxing is the under-appreciated Fifth Element in the Hip-Hop movement. Let there be no doubts about it! "Beatboxing is a form of vocal percussion which primarily involves the art of producing drum beats, rhythm, and musical sounds using one's mouth, lips, tongue and voice. It may also involve singing, vocal imitation of turntablism, the simulation of horns, strings, and other musical instruments. "---Wikipedia. Org
Long before (and after) the tired beat machines that usted to crank out mechanical, predigested, synthetic, "soulless" percussive rhythms...there was the singular and quintessential "Human Beat Boxer."
The "Human Beat Boxer" stood before and alongside the MC in the center of the Cypher and mesmerized the faithful with his or her blended virtuoso street performance. Lying within the magical toolbox of the Beat Boxer are an array of personalized and unique mixed bag of clicks, drum sounds, scratches, bass lines beats, trumpets, cymbals, guitar riffs, screams and other indescribable noizes..
The audiences' soulful "head-nod" is the first affirmation of the "death-of-silence" which is always the first casualty, whenever "Tha Show" is in effect.
Combining these dynamic throat-based effects is to create a "wall of sound" that pays a distinct & living homage to the sacred "Boom-Bap", which is the literal heart & soul, and the underbelly of ole' school Hip-Hop.
The job of the Human Beat Boxer is to compose the flawless soundscape "the music" with which he and the MC together can rock the mics creating the perfect circle.
GV8 THE FIFTH ELEMENT: THE ART OF THE BEAT BOXER documentary is directed by multi award-winning director Bob Bryan. Take a glimpse at the art form & peep the process from the humble master Beat Box practitioners . It's their time to shine...

Dear Bob Bryan,
You've done it again.
GV8 The Fifth Element: The Art of The Beat Boxer is a magnificent presentation of an art form that has been shrouded in mystery for too many years. I enjoyed being pulled into the technical/wizardry of the wonderful world of human beats. The explanation between the difference of what Bobby McFerrin does with beats and what beat boxers do was so enlightening and sets the tone for what is yet to be learned by watching this story unfold. I loved what "Click 88" and "Joshua Silverstein" did in allowing us an intimate view into what it takes to become a human beat making machine, their dedication, practice and skills. Pretty Chi and the others are amazing as well.
Thank you Bob for revealing to us the mystery's of this remarkable American birthed art form in your insightful and mesmerizing documentary. Thank you also for preserving it for generations to come. Truly the contents of this documentary will be coveted by cultures worldwide as a door that allows them to enter into beat box paradise with a more thorough understanding of what is at the heart of the art.
Can't wait to see GV9 (The DJ). You are preserving the aesthetics of Hip-Hop and its culture like no other filmmaker I know.

The Sacred Elements of Hip-Hop Multi
award-wining independent filmmaker, Bob Bryan took his camera on the road
(in search of Hip Hop) to the heartland of America. Bryan was invited to
document a historic four-day Hip Hop Summer Workshop conducted at Metro
High School in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, which resulted in Graffiti
Verite 5: The Sacred Elements of Hip Hop.
What emerges is a portrait of the educational value and liberating therapeutic
power contained within the unique elements of the contemporary Hip Hop
movement. Turntablism (DJing), Break-dancing, MC'ing (rapping), and Graffiti
Art are the four Hip Hop elements used in what Bryan sees as a multi-faceted
communications modality and dynamic educational learning system. 'In
GV5,
I wanted to take a closer look at the facts. It turns out that the four
elements of hip hop, if used creatively, can give our educators an invaluable
tool to bridge the communications and learning dyslexia that exist between
students, educators, and the 4Rs. It's time to explore this type of multi-intelligence
model and integrate its positive potential usefulness into the curriculum,
as a method of connecting with today's youth.'

A VOYAGE INTO THE ICONOGRAPHY OF GRAFFITI ART
is the third installment of the five part
Graffiti Verite documentary series exploring the controversial underground

filmmaker Bryan steps away from the traditional storytelling format this
time around and reinvents himself by using contemporary musical idioms
from different countries to proclaim the narrative. Sometimes communicating
to us in Italian, Malaysian, Latin, Pygmy, African or English; the Ethnic,
World, Hip Hop, Techno, Metal, Fusion, Ballads, and House music all conspire
to disorient our sensibilities and preconceptions about this underground
art form. This experimental musical opus probes the socio-political context
that distracts the average person from appreciating the historical/artistic
significance and impact of graffiti.

Description:
GV2 Freedom of
Expression? follows
in the footsteps of Graffiti Verite, the multi award-winning documentary
that explored the worlds of hip-hop and graffiti. Bob Bryan's second documentary
on graffiti art checks out some of Los Angeles's most impressive works,
including the monumental Belmont tunnels designs created by Skill and his
crew, U.T.I. Featuring more than 400 artists -- including the winners of
the International Graffiti Art Competition -- and a beat-driven soundtrack.
Bryan's GV2
film explores graffiti as a way for the
urban community to express what's going on in their world and also helps
to unearth the truth about the historical relevance of the graffiti art
movement, set against the backdrop of today's urban landscape. Includes
music by The Psycho Realm, B-Boys, and DMG.

Graffiti Verite' is
an amazing multi-award winning documentary that explores the eclectic world
of hip hop and the urban graffiti artist. Graffiti
Verite is the first up-close and personal
expose into the graffiti art world as experienced by 24 artists whose artistic
tool of choice is the spraycan. Graffiti Verite is a 45 minute groundbreaking
documentary that includes interviews and behind the scenes views of 24
of Los Angeles' most prolific and talented graffiti artists. Graffiti
Verite's conversations vary from comparative
discussions on graffiti's ancestral connection to the ritualistic hieroglyphics
and cave writings to discussions of graffiti art as a form of "street-level
propaganda" and public art gallery for the anonymous public.
