    MIAMI --

    Brenda Fell has returned to DAVID, this time as executive producer in its Miami office. She comes over from Leo Burnett Chicago. Fell had earlier in her career served as head of production at DAVID Buenos Aires. 

    Her addition is the latest in a recent infusion of talent at DAVID Miami that has included global chief strategy officer Paula Vampré, sr. copywriter Sarah Dembkowski and sr. art director Georgia Taylor. Fell will work collaboratively alongside EP Carlos Torres and report to managing director Ricardo Honegger.

    Fell will co-lead the production department with Torres, overseeing all global clients such as Burger King and Halls. At DAVID’s Buenos Aires office she worked on award-winning campaigns including MACMA’s “Man Boobs,” which raised awareness for breast cancer, and the Unilever campaigns “Speeches” and “Farewell to the Forest.”

    Fell left DAVID Buenos Aires in 2017 to move to the U.S. and diversify her experience which now spans experiential, AR/VR content and much more. She had stints not only at Leo Burnett but also at the community. In her 15-year career, Fell has worked at agencies including Ponce Buenos Aires and DDB, shooting all over the world for global brands like Coca-Cola, Verizon and Allstate, among many others. Her work has been honored with the Grand Prix at Cannes Lions, and recognition from the D&AD, The One Show, Clio Awards, London International Awards, and New York Festivals Advertising Awards competitions.

    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
