About BROCK S.

Savannah, GA native. Relocated to Atlanta, GA in 2005 where I studied at Atlanta College of Art and Savannah College of Art and Design where I received a BFA in 2009. I worked as a scenic designer and fabricator in the Major Motion Picture Industry in Atlanta on many productions including Hunger Games 1 and 2, Fast and Furious 6 and 7, as well as special effects on The Walking Dead. While working on large big budget productions, I learned about all facets of professional production (grip, lighting, set dec, wardrobe, camera, etc) and I now utilize these high level techniques and practices in my own work today. I would consider myself a multimedia artist with a large vocabulary in creating visually. I currently run a creative agency called On The Grid Creative where I build teams to tackle tangible and digital creative projects.

About Steven B.

Steve Ball pioneered by forecasting the niche markets of Black media consumers. He made inroads into Blockbuster in the 90s with his feature films and remixed his success and moved his movie products online early, reading the winds of change. In many ways, his work echoes the Blaxploitation films of the 70s. Like a number of the films, Blacks directed and produced in the underground heyday Balls’ dramas had a moral core beneath the gangster trappings. His best work featured sharp dialogue that probed ethical dilemmas. Now, Mr. Ball is taking his savvy into micro-markets; channeling his narrative savvy and street smarts to the constant appetites of the audience he knows so well.
