Meet Vincent, an avid horror fan and the funniest guy you’ll ever meet. You can find Vincent cracking up his classmates or playing with baby bunnies at his house. One of Vincent’s favorite ways to connect with others, like Lebron James, is talking about horror movies, especially his favorite one: "Friday the 13th."

For the students at the I Promise School, the I Promise circle is sacred. Whether they are giving their students constructive criticism or reacting to the song of the day, the I Promise circle gives students a safe place to express their concerns, thoughts, and ambitions.

We could have never imagined the magic inside the doors of the I Promise School that preached the philosophy, "We Are Family." As cynical New Yorkers, we were a little cautious about it.
By the time we left 2 years later, we had tears in our eyes having embraced their philosophy, truly feeling like #WeAreFamily💫
An all time great meeting of the minds, Vincent and Lebron. Who else is as enamored by Vince as we are? Catch this moment for free, world wide on @YouTube today!

“Acclaimed slam poet Saul Williams first made an impact onscreen in Marc Levin’s 1998 debut “Slam,” which he co-wrote, and the movie won the Camera d’Or at Cannes. Now, Williams is up for that first-time filmmaker award himself, with this long-gestating burst of Afro-futurism that he has teased as his attempt to “f**k s**t up. With Beauty.” -EK, IndieWire
I’ve known Saul Williams for over 21 years since his mesmerizing performance as Ray Joshua in SLAM with Sonja Sohn. Thrilled to see him back at this year's Cannes Film Festival for the world premiere, along with the reviews of his film, Neptune Frost. Looking forward to watching it!

As in-person festivals ramp back up, a later-than-usual Cannes offers up a massive bounty of new films for patient cinephiles. Here are a dozen worth waiting for.
I saw “Chafed Elbows” at the Bleecker Street Cinema in 1968 and it changed my life - 24 years later I got to work with Senior and his son on “The Last Party” - He was a genius and a true pioneer of indie filmmaker - farewell Senior, your work lives on!

“It’s almost like when you grow up in the inner city or grow up in the projects, no one cares about you. So many kids like myself have dreams and the only thing to stop those dreams from becoming a reality is the support around them.” - Lebron James
Learn the story behind the I Promise School in Akron, Ohio in I PROMISE premiering June 19 at Tribeca.
“Public education is the bedrock of a free and healthy society. Yet there has been a steady move to denigrate and disinvest in our public schools. We spent a year chronicling the start of this new I PROMISE SCHOOL in Akron Ohio. Their goal is to be a nationally recognized model of urban and public school excellence.” - Marc Levin, Director of I PROMISE.
See what it takes to create real change. I PROMISE premieres June 19 at Tribeca.

Episode 5 “Honeymoon’s Over” - For the faculty, the realities of dealing with students suffering from trauma hits hard. The new episode is up now on @quibi!
From producer Jackson Devereux, who filmed this difficult moment: That afternoon, Dae was very unsettled and combative. I was sitting with Mrs. Tozzi and a small circle of her students, filming the escalating situation alone. I was lucky to pan the camera right as Dae locked herself in the locker. This was the first incident that helped us understand what teachers and students are dealing with emotionally. While it’s difficult to film vulnerable moments while respecting the kids’ personal space, I reassured myself it was important to communicate the level of trauma these kids are bringing to school. After this day, we decided to follow her journey over the school year, and got to know her and her beautiful family. Watch episode 4 to meet her yourself and see her story unfold on @quibi.
I PROMISE comes to Quibi in April! Get ready to meet the most amazing family of students and educators complete their first year in the halls of Lebron James' new school in his home town of Akron, Ohio.
