In the wake of this week’s grand jury verdict for Darren Wilson, the officer standing trial for the fatal shooting of Ferguson resident, Michael Brown, two filmmakers have pledged to make a stand. Oscar-nominated documentarian Amy Berg has joined forces with actor Nate Parker to helm a social commentary on what they’ve dubbed a “black male crisis” in the U.S.
“Our conversations about race in this country have been ongoing,” Berg said. “It is truly a tragic state that we are in that we have to remind people that we abolished slavery 150 years ago, but the sad statistics today show that black people are targeted every day by the system. Our systemic racial profiling is very deeply embedded in our culture, and the Michael Brown case shows we have to find a way to change this. Now.”

Nate Parker is teaming up with Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker Amy Berg, and writer-director Matthew Cooke to produce a documentary on what they're calling "the black male crisis" in America, that will emphasize the shooting deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., as well as other black men killed by police officers over the past few years, including Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice and more. To help finance the film, the filmmakers have set up an Indiegogo campaign to raise $25,000 by January 5, 2015, and have, thus far, drawn over $4,100. According to the project's Indiegogo page, filming already began in...

An investigative film documenting the events surrounding the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri is in the works.
Black Male Crisis is being developed by filmmaker Amy Berg, actor Nate Parker and writer-director Matthew Cooke.
They announced the news via an Indiegogo funding page for the project, which has already reached $3,000 of its $25,000 target ahead of its January 5 deadline.
Rioting broke out in Ferguson earlier this week after a jury decided not to prosecute white police officer Darren Wilson over the shooting of black teenager Brown in August.
A post on the campaign site reads: "In response to the growing problem of racial disparity due to the ongoing dehumanisation of black men, actor and activist Nate Parker is setting out on a journey of investigation.
"He will venture into black communities to speak to various stakeholders about the crisis facing these men. Through the examination of specific cases, Nate...

Cm Punk and Aj Lee have appeared together in a new video to raise awareness of Lou Gehrig’s disease. In the video, Aj pours a bucket of cold ice water over Punk’s head. It’s known as the ‘ice bucket challenge’, a viral internet sensation in which celebrities get soaked with cold water. The idea is then to put over the cause of the charity, spreading awareness of the battle against Lou Gehrig’s disease. The proper name for Lou Gehrig’s is Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, which is commonly shortened to Als.
Punk commented on his Twitter “I accept the Als ice bucket challenge from no twitter Matt Cooke of the @mnwild and the no good @BaileyLAKings. On my way to get a bucket…”
Surprisingly, he then got some heat for supporting the charity. This prompted a second tweet, “Blocking people who feel the need to...

What makes a great viral ad? This question has driven many recent marketing trends; Old Spice-esque absurdity and heavy use of dubstep are now exceedingly common in ads. Still, it is still nigh-impossible to guarantee which ads will go viral and achieve millions of YouTube views. Our pals at Unruly want to change that. They have introduced the Unruly ShareRank, which adds a precognitive flavor to the social media marketing agency's analytic arsenal. In other words, ShareRank is the Minority Report of advertising tools. “We are currently tracking over 2 million video shares each day," said Unruly co-founder Matt Cooke, "We have mapped this data to viewer responses to train the Unruly ShareRank algorithm, which is the only metric on the market to predict the shareability of a video based on seven years’ worth of video sharing data. Scrutinizing views is not enough – in a digital world, brands need to understand...

Tribeca Film takes Us rights to Matthew Cooke's "How to Make Money Selling Drugs." The doc, which premiered at Toronto, looks at the both sides of the "war on drugs," and includes interviews with 50 Cent, 'The Wire' producer David Simon, Arianna Huffington, Woody Harrelson, Eminem and Susan Sarandon, plus the infamous drug kingpin “Freeway” Rick Ross. Presenting a shockingly candid examination of how a street dealer can rise to cartel lord with relative ease, the documentary reveals how public policy and government drug enforcement have struggled to creatively adapt to and effectively disincentive Americans from dealing drugs. Bert Marcus Productions was granted unprecedented access from top‐ranking government officials, from the U.S. Drug Czar to the Drug Enforcement Agency, all providing unique and honest viewpoints on this pervasive global topic. This is Cooke's directorial debut. He produced and edited 2006's...
