    Mr. Hide
    BROOKLYN, NY --

    Production and entertainment company m ss ng p eces has signed Japanese director Mr. Hide (pronounced Hee-day), formerly of RadicalMedia.

    He is best known for his groundbreaking work on the 2009 launch of the Toyota Prius with Saatchi & Saatchi LA which went on to win a Clio as well as three honors at the 2010 AICP Show. The colorful, cheerful commercial titled “Harmony” finds a Prius negotiating a lively landscape in which the mountains, the grass, the rivers, the sun and clouds consist of people. This makes for an enjoyable commute, with the driver loving not only the comforts and performance of the Prius hybrid, but also the fact that the vehicle yields lower emissions, which will benefit the environment.

    Mr. Hide’s other notable credits include the launch of Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku Mini clothing line with Target.

    “Every time Mr Hide touches a project, he brings wild imagination and inventive thinking. As longtime fans, we couldn’t be more thrilled to be working together,” said Kate Oppenheim, managing partner of m ss ng p eces.

    Mr. Hide said he was drawn to his new home because it puts “creativity and craft first, while still representing the future of production. I am really excited to re-enter the U.S. market with such a forward-thinking team.”

    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
