Company FELA"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fela.tv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FELA<\/a>, the Toronto-based production company that specializes in the creation of cutting-edge music videos, commercials, branded content, documentaries and films, is setting up shop in America. Launched in the summer 2020 in Toronto, FELA stands on the mission of providing a voice for the unheard and underrepresented, while injecting relevancy and cultural authenticity into everything they create.&nbsp;Managing Partners at FELA include Director X, Taj Critchlow, Karena Evans, Dean Rosen &amp; Fuliane Petikyan. The group is behind the lifestyle brand with the motto: Own Your Culture, Tell Your Stories. <span style=\"color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Director X Taj FELA<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FELA&nbsp;will&nbsp;engage the advertising sphere in the same way its founding partners, Taj Critchlow and the legendary Julien Christian Lutz (pka Director X), have penetrated the American music industry.&nbsp;Close collaborators for over 20 years,&nbsp;the pair have worked with musical icons such as Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Rihanna, and brands such as Bud Light, Facebook, Toyota, Fuji, American Express, Nike, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8220;Which led me to come up with our company mantra:&nbsp;<em>Own Your Culture. Tell Your Stories.&nbsp;<\/em>It embodies the state of mind I share with so many others who are tired of asking for a seat at the table. It&#8217;s time to put ownership back into the BIPOC entrepreneurs, artists, and communities that create the work and gain authority of our own narratives.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to continuing their legacy of making culture-defining content, Critchlow and X have adopted the mission to continue the fight for a diverse and inclusive media industry. Critchlow explains, &#8220;Being a Black executive, I&#8217;ve witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by Black, Indigenous and people of colour (BIPOC) and women within our creative industries.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Director X comments, &#8220;FELA is looking forward to the day that inclusion and diversity is the new standard versus a mandate. Culture drives everything, and we need to empower the people that drive it, PERIOD.&#8221;<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>FELA is making their ambitions clear; assembling a team of executives with the experience and passion to bring their ethos stateside. Award-winning filmmaker and actress Karena Evans is being expanded in the role of Creative Executive Producer with the help of COO Dean Rosen (whom Critchlow refers to as &#8220;the Rick Rubin of the company&#8221;). Evans is known for helming the highly acclaimed&nbsp;pilot for&nbsp;<em>P-Valley,&nbsp;<\/em>as well as the highly anticipated pilot for&nbsp;HBO Max&#8217;s reboot of&nbsp;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/2021\/01\/the-black-cast-members-in-the-gossip-girl-reboot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gossip Girl<\/a><\/em>. Evans and Director X will now both be represented by FELA for&nbsp;advertising and music video work throughout the U.S. and Canada. Additionally, veteran producer Fuliane Petikyan, a longtime&nbsp;top-of-list collaborator of&nbsp;the entire FELA crew, has been made&nbsp;Managing Partner and will be heading the LA operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The groups first year has proven to be a success: their accomplishments include&nbsp;a Grammy nomination for&nbsp;Drake and Future&#8217;s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=l0U7SxXHkPY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&#8220;Life is Good,&#8221;<\/a>&nbsp;and the release of&nbsp;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UgTkVKtE3BE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Underplayed<\/a><\/em>, a&nbsp;feature-length documentary funded by Bud Light. Up next is an&nbsp;industry-focused podcast, and several FELA-owned properties in development.&nbsp;FELA has partnered with Dana Balkin and Frank Antonoff from Resource in the west and Barrie Isaacson Management in New York for strategic sales representation coast to coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Director X Taj FELA Director X Taj FELA<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FELA, the Toronto-based production company that specializes in the creation of cutting-edge music videos, commercials, branded content, documentaries and films, is setting up shop in America.
