Pras Michel, best known from the hit group The Fugees, is more than just a recording artist; he’s is also an amazing storyteller. His remarkable storytelling is profiled in “Sweet Mickey For President.” A documentary that tells the story of Pras, as he returns to Haiti after a devastating and deadly earthquake. We get to see Pras’ hard at work as he is determined to rebuild Haiti and its corrupt government by seeking the presidential nomination for the unlikeliest and controversial candidate, Michel Martelly or “Sweet Micky.” The road to victory is not easy for Pras and company as he hit many bumps in the road, included with former Fugees bandmate, Wyclef Jean. They share some intense moments in the film. We also get to see a few more familiar faces, like Sean Penn, Ben Stiller, and former president Bill Clinton as they help change the course of Haiti’s future, for the better.

UGG for Men Launches “Wilton” Sneaker + Short Film

by xoJohn

To celebrate Agent Provocateur’s Spring Summer 2012 collection, Mylene Jampanoï stars in two short films directed by Jordan Scott and produced by RSA films.

The collection of films show a departure from the fierce and overtly sexy world in favor of a softer, more romantic type of erotica. A feminine sensuality rather than unabashed sexuality, inspired by the dreamymood, colors and romanticism of the collection. Inspired by the iconic films of that era, ‘Emmanuelle’ and ‘The Story of O’, it is a move towards a 70’s come-hither, soft-core approach. A coy innocence that comes over all coquettish and “who me…?”. There is innocence to all the characters – they are out of reach, but teasing us to come closer; their stories leave you with a yearning nostalgia and the desire to know more.
