    LOS ANGELES --

    Sibling Rivalry and aWHITELABELproduct have merged, forming creative collective a White Label/Sibling Rivalry product. Aligning the two companies was part of a natural evolution to better serve the marketplace. Sibling Rivalry’s creative studio model works in tandem with aWLp to expand capabilities of design, experiential, digital and branding execution with Sibling Rivalry’s talent assuming live-action representation under the aWLp banner.

    “We mutually recognized the need in the marketplace for companies to provide more to their clients under one roof. Agencies and clients are looking for companies to be a solution no matter what the entry point from concept, design, production and strategy, and partnering the two companies together creates that bigger offering for clients,” said Annique DeCaestecker, partner and executive producer.

    The roster at a White Label/Sibling Rivalry product features directors Matthew Donaldson, Steve Fuller, Mikon van Gastel, Peter Glanz, Olivier Gondry, LOKI, Paul Middleditch, Eva Midgley, Crystal Moselle, James Pilkington, Tim Richardson, Daniel Schweizer, Stephane Sednaoui, Wade Shotter, Kenneth Willardt, and Joe Wright as well as two new director signings, Nico Beyer and Sebastien Grousset.

    In addition, a White Label/Sibling Rivalry offers a full in-house studio of designers, animators and editors.  Maggie Meade also serves as a partner and exec producer at the newly merged company.

    Raoul Peck Resurrects A Once-Forgotten Anti-Apartheid Photographer In “Ernest Cole: Lost and Found”

    Friday, November 22, 2024

    When the photographer Ernest Cole died in 1990 at the age of 49 from pancreatic cancer at a Manhattan hospital, his death was little noted.

    Cole, one of the most important chroniclers of apartheid-era South Africa, was by then mostly forgotten and penniless. Banned by his native country after the publication of his pioneering photography book "House of Bondage," Cole had emigrated in 1966 to the United States. But his life in exile gradually disintegrated into intermittent homelessness. A six-paragraph obituary in The New York Times ran alongside a list of death notices.

    But Cole receives a vibrant and stirring resurrection in Raoul Peck's new film "Ernest Cole: Lost and Found," narrated in Cole's own words and voiced by LaKeith Stanfield. The film, which opens in theaters Friday, is laced throughout with Cole's photographs, many of them not before seen publicly.

    As he did in his Oscar-nominated James Baldwin documentary "I Am Not Your Negro," the Haitian-born Peck shares screenwriting credit with his subject. "Ernest Cole: Lost and Found" is drawn from Cole's own writings. In words and images, Peck brings the tragic story of Cole to vivid life, reopening the lens through which Cole so perceptively saw injustice and humanity.

    "Film is a political tool for me," Peck said in a recent interview over lunch in Manhattan. "My job is to go to the widest audience possible and try to give them something to help them understand where they are, what they are doing, what role they are playing. It's about my fight today. I don't care about the past."

    "Ernest Cole: Lost and Found" is a movie layered with meaning that goes beyond Cole's work. It asks questions not just about the societies Cole documented but of how he was treated as an artist,... Read More
