Exclusive: LA outfit Black Box Management has launched a content sales division at Tribeca and unveiled its first project.
Black Box is launching sales on Jean-Cosme Delaloye’s Desire: The Carl Craig Story at the New York fest this week. The movie from Bord Cadre Films and Sovereign Films is the first out the blocks from the agency that represents the likes of John Patton Ford (Huntington), Tone Bell (Survival of the Thickest) and Lisa Cortes (Little Richard: I Am Everything). It subsequently plans to represent global features and series for the North American marketplace, some of which will feature Black Box talent and some of which won’t.
“Black Box Sales enables us to expand our industry reach with the filmmaker community since we are selling films from directors from all over the world, not just ones we represent here in the U.S.,” said Black Box partners Lowell Shapiro and Mike Dill.

“Harley” director Jean-Cosme Delaloye has wrapped production on a documentary celebrating pioneering Detroit techno music producer Carl Craig.
“Desire: The Carl Craig Story” is structured as an intimate portrait of Craig and an ode to his beloved Detroit. With Detroit’s decline and recovery as a backdrop, the film follows the career of producer whose genre-defying techno has been performed to jazz enthusiasts at the Montreux Jazz Festival and in the premier classical auditoriums around the world, including Carnegie Hall. The film features artists including Gilles Peterson, Roni Size, Laurent Garnier, DJ Minx, Kenny Larkin, Moritz von Oswald and James Lavelle, who worked with Craig and played a major role in bringing techno and electronic music to the masses over the years.

Donald Byrd’s dynamic 1973 live recording Live: Cookin’ with Blue Note at Montreux got its first-ever official release on December 9th on what would have been the legendary trumpeter’s 90th birthday.

The strings fall away, leaving Lusk alone for a late-night, empty-bar, alone-at-the-piano interlude, and then the fireworks begin: A lazy beat enters, spurring the...
