SPRING FASHION

This year’s Coachella festival is shaping up to be just as good as previous years, so we’re taking a look at who’s playing and why you shouldn’t miss it.

Get inspired and stay fashionable my friends let’s take a look at some of spring seasons fashion

a big league heavyweight champion of the world first I hope they’re entertained you know we we make it for people to come in and there is a lot of escapism you know with this franchise from my vantage point I also liked them to you know it’s always interesting you know take what you take from it you mean but I can tell you what’s in there there’s motivation in there there’s inspiration in there there’s a examination of real friendship and a real brotherhood you know from multiple angles as athletes and something talk about what how athletes actually get on you know about athletes between men between human beings between black men so that I want them to walk away and feeling like they could do anything no matter you know your background no matter what you’ve been through no matter how hard you know life has been that you can you know overcome hardship and obstacles and if you focus hard enough and sometimes you know the right decision is not the easy decision you can make those hard decisions you know that you can come out on top I think you know being like the 9th film throughout the sagas and being able to you know trying to find different ways to elevate the boxing and the fights and make them feel bigger and look different you know I think IMAX just gave me the real estate to do so you know I wanted to show the you know from the cloud to the canvas that was something that like we said often as we were kind of like shooting these fights and just with the you know the immersive sound you know and the visuals and being able to feel like you’re right there in the ring was something that I really want to focus on with sound design as well so you know I think yeah IMAX definitely gave me the environment to be able to capture these fights and you know like we never had before think you know being like the 3rd film throughout the sagas and being able to you know trying to find different ways to elevate the boxing and the fights and make them feel bigger and look different you know I think IMAX just gave me the real estate to do so you know I wanted to show the you know from the cloud to the canvas that was something that like we said often as we were kind of like shooting these fights and just with the you know the immersive sound you know a lot of the things that we

GOING FOR THE 3RD In this film, I think we see them both striving to retire certain aspects of their personas and embrace a more complete version of themselves. I think this is a time of kind of redefining you know who they are in relation to what they do, and of course they have their daughter Amara that they adore, but I think they’re finding themselves in that. Adonis is no longer boxing and is instead responsible for the training and management of other fighters, and Bianca is producing more than she is performing. It’s incredible that she is such a star and that she is so fearless as a performer; she learned how to box for this film and she is so good and she is so charming and so funny, and also her whole family was with us; I think these films are such sort of familial films that it was so incredible to also have

her parents and her siblings, and I think that really contributed to this feeling. I can’t even describe how amazing it was. You know, I think he’s kind of a natural director; he’s been in the business for so long— he started out as a child actor— that I think the best training for a job like this is just to be on a ton of sets, which he has done in spades; and I always think it’s not just about making a film that’s beautiful and fantastic but if you can also make the experience of making the film a beautiful and fantastic one for people, then

Within the space of a month, my pregnant wife got told she had a tumor, with no route to therapy until after the birth. After the unexpected death of my best friend and brother Jamal, I found myself defending my reputation and profession as a songwriter in court. I was

The beginning of 2022 brought about a series of changes in my outlook on life, my mental health, and the music and art I enjoyed. Songs are my kind of self-care.

And in a little over a week, I swapped out ten years of effort for my darkest ideas.
