William Cookson is a classically trained abstract artist. William trained in both London and Italy, spending three years developing his style and collaborating with other artists in Florence to stretch his artistic vision. He moved from Italy to Mexico to seek further artistic stimulation and observe a kaleidoscope of cultures in an organic, informal setting. The vibrant contrast of his external environments enhanced his desire to experiment further with colour and technique and formed the basis of his urban abstract art collection which he continues to develop. William has exhibited in various spaces both locally and internationally and produced a number of commissions for private clients.

Carmen and Gregory  Directed by Linda Atkinson and Nck DoobThis beautiful feature documentary is about the work of two exceptional artists, Carmen de Lavallade and Geoffrey Holder, who stepped forward in the 1950’s to play a vital part in the newly energized world of American modern dance. It is also about a  fifty-four year long love affair and the creative partnership that sustained their accomplishments

The Solitary Alchemist   Directed by Mariel BrownWhat happens when talent isn’t enough? When, in spite of a life of work, you look around in the autumn of your life and discover that your world is not what you thought it would be. This is where we meet Trinidadian jeweller, Barbie Jardine.Trained at England’s prestigious Royal College of Art, Jardine moved back to her native Trinidad in 1974 where she developed new techniques in working with traditional and indigenous materials, and evolved a personal narrative style for making wearable works of art. But 30 years on from returning to the Caribbean, and in spite of having her work purchased by a major metropolitan museum, there are nagging questions she just can’t shake: Why isn’t my work more recognised? Have I made a crucial mistake? She is resentful and angry. And she wants something more. An opportunity to create a new piece for an exhibition in Scotland presents itself and Barbie is both nervous and hopeful. Will this be the chance to finally carve out her own space in the world?Calypso Dreams   Directed by Geoffrey DunnThe feature-length documentary film Calypso Dreams chronicles the fascinating spirit and traditions of Calypso music in the island country of Trinidad and Tobago, dating back to its complex Afro-Caribbean roots in the 18th and 19th centuries.With narrative commentary by the popular Caribbean musician David Rudder, the film captures riveting, contemporary performances by a host of legendary Calypso performers with colorful “sobriquets,” including the Mighty Sparrow, Calypso Rose, Lord Superior, Black Stalin, Mighty Bomber, Lord Blakie, Singing Sandra and Mighty Terror, and pays homage to recently deceased Calypsonians, including Lord Kitchener and Lord Pretender.Tribes  Directed by Ras KassaSet in Trinidad and Tobago (An estimated fourteen thousand (14,000) people in Trinidad and Tobago are living with HIV/AIDS), Tribes takes viewers on a rollercoaster of love, life and lessons learned. Written by Jamaican Ed Wallace, the story centred around Jamahl, an undefeated stick-fighter and popular radio DJ, he finds that an unexpected twist in his personal life threatens to destroy everything. With support from his best friend and family, Jamahl realizes it’s not how hard you fall, but how you get up that counts. Africa Unite  Directed by Stephanie BlackAFRICA UNITE is a singular and masterfully executed film by Stephanie Black that is at once concert tribute, Marley family travelogue, and humanitarian documentary, igniting the screen with the spirit of world-renowned reggae icon BOB MARLEY in its every frame. In commemoration of Bobs 60th birthday, Africa Unite is centered on the Marley’s first-time-ever family trip to Ethiopia in 2005. Includes rare footage of the legendary reggae icon Bob Marley.Rain  Directed by Maria GovanDirector Maria Govan’s powerful debut, one of the first films produced indigenously in the Bahamas, shows a darker side of the country that tourists rarely see. A teenager named Rain has lived her entire life with her grandmother on a tiny rural island in the Bahamas. When her grandmother dies, Rain goes to Nassau to find her mother, Glory, whom she has never met.A Winter Tale  Directed by Frances-Anne SolomonShots ring out one winter night and a bullet meant for a local street dealer kills a ten-year-old boy.In the downtown Toronto community of Parkdale, grief and suspicion hang heavily in the air, while the nightly patrons at Miss G’s Caribbean TakeAway resume their ritual of beer and banter.But one of them, Gene Wright, cannot go on. He begs his friends for help. In a most unusual development, six Black men make a pact to form a support group in hopes of salvaging their broken spirits and redeeming their besieged community.A Winter Tale is set against the backdrop of a multicultural community’s unrealized hopes and dreams. Bitter and tragic, funny and hopeful, the film tells a uniquely Canadian story that features Toronto as a central character.The Rosa Parks Story  Directed by Julie DashThe film traces the life and history of one of the Civil Rights Movement’s most indelible social activists. This inspiring television film explores the salient moments in Parks’s childhood and adult life that helped shape her philosophy of quiet strength that resulted in her historic moment of peaceful defiance on a segregated bus in 1955.Nurse Fighter Boy  Directed by Charles OfficerJude is a single mother descending from a long line of caregivers, who dreams of going back to Zion: St. Elizabeth, Jamaica. Silence is a ‘past his prime’ boxer who fights illegally to survive. Ciel is a boy who delves into music, conjuring dreams for his mother. His prayers for her are fanciful and might be magical. During the last week of summer, a late-night brawl finds the fighter in the nurse’s care, intertwining their fates. The urban love story of Nurse.Fighter.Boy explores archetypal characters of nurturer, warrior, and child with a humanizing respect.
