Four young Londoners have decided to combine their love for London and film by launching the London On Film Festival. Taking place at The Lexi Cinema from the 16th to the 21st of June, this is a chance to explore London's personality on film, looking deep into its dark underbelly and back into its gritty past, while at the same time celebrating its cultural diversity and unique atmosphere. We want to show that London on screen can be just as romantic as Paris, as beautiful as Rome, and as vibrant as New York.
Each day is centred around a different theme and screenings are served up with a mix of directorial Q&As, informed speakers, food, live music and performance to create truly unique Londoncentric events. Films include the fantastic new release "Telstar" introduced by the film's director, rare unseen gems from the BFI archive and Stephen Frear's challenging "Dirty Pretty Things", as well as the much-loved "Oliver!" (with optional singing along!) London's own reggae scene is documented in the 1980 film "Babylon", and cutting edge documentaries are represented by films such as "What Have You Done Today, Mervyn Day?" and "Finisterre".

 Tyler fell into making movies with the help of his grandad and a diversion from music. Visuality seems to be in the family with his dad being a photo journalist. he agrees that it is great to watch movies with a critical eye and analyse what you see so that you can easily jump in and start to create visual art because you understand how it works and specifically in this case the language of movie.
I watched some of Tylers' work and he like to use antique films as can be seen in The Fourteen Minute Gap and also in ‘Il Mio Canto Libero’. He has experience with working with non profit organisations. So working as a indie film guy that will be an advantage, unless he gets lucky and a movie goes viral. Which can happen. there is ‘Gather Round the Mic’ which is broken up into parts and available on Vimeo. For more than 10 hours on a sultry Cleveland night, in a bar roughly the size of a small two-bedroom apartment and on a “stage” cordoned off by tables and place marked with an Oriental rug, musicians from all over the world played and sang their hearts out. there is Gather ‘Round the Mic’ which is broken up into parts and available on Vimeo.

Brotherman is a District Attorney by Day and a Crime Fighter by night. quite a combination for a Blackman.
The Storylines and lessons metted out by Brotherman are life enriching examples of Good vs. Evil.
