    NEW YORK --

    Barton F. Graf has brought Jonathan Vingiano on board as creative director. The hire marks a return to the shop for Vingiano who earlier served as its creative technology director. Most recently he was at RGA and B-Reel in New York where he served as creative director and worked on campaigns for Google, Squarespace, Android, American Express, Samsung, and Converse.

    Vingiano now partners with Barton’s recent creative director hire, Matt Moore, on the Little Caesars business. Vingiano will report to Barton founder and chief creative officer Gerry Graf. Vingiano was a founding partner of digital agency OKFocus and is an adjunct faculty member at Parsons School for Design.

    Graf said of Vingiano, “It made perfect sense for us to bring him back as a full-fledged creative director and partner to Matt. His serious tech creds fit in beautifully with the type of innovative work we’ve been doing on Little Caesars, and we can’t wait to see where these two take the work next.”

    Vingiano said, “The two things that brought me back to Barton are the people and the work. Gerry has managed to assemble an incredible team that makes some of the best work in the business. It’s a special place that any creative person would want to be a part of.”

    Barton F. Graf’s client list includes Bai 5-Calorie Beverages, Kayak, ScottsMiracle-Gro, Snyder’s-Lance and Supercell.

    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
