Nobi Nakanishi
Nobi's nearly 20-year directing career began when he was commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art (NY) to create a short film honoring President Emeritus Agnes Gund. The piece now resides in the permanent collection of MoMA's Department of Film and Video. Nobi is also known as the Director of the groundbreaking online show 'The Leviathan Chronicles', which has been downloaded over 10 million times internationally. The 50 episode, hour long serial, created by sci-fi wunderkind Christof Laputka, utilizes a cast of nearly a hundred voice actors, and Hollywood-level sound design and music. It was recently featured on Mashable.com as one of '15 podcasts guaranteed to tell you a fantastic story', and constantly places in the top lists on Apple Podcasts. Over the past decade, Nobi has served as Creative Director for clients including Pulitzer-Prize nominated author Andrew Solomon (Far from the Tree), The Parrish Art Museum, Storm King Art Center, The American Federation of Arts, The Jewish Museum, Leaderally, True World Foods USA, WxY Foods Inc., and Inspiring Diversity LLC.

Nobi Nakanishi's most recent project as a commercial director was for the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's 'Drink Water' Campaign - which he conceived, wrote, shot, and produced. Engaging non-professional children of all ages and ethnicities in a lighthearted and fun manner, the series of a dozen video advertisements promoted drinking water as an alternative to sugary beverages. Though born and raised in the US, Nobi is fluent in business-level Japanese, and has leveraged this to work with Japanese clients such as Daisuke Inoue (the inventor of the Karaoke machine), Terra Foods Co., Japan, True World Foods Japan, Trendpot LLC (AKA Chopsticks NY Magazine), Japan Solutions, and the Tourism Bureau of the City of Tokyo. Nobi is a graduate of the Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film & Television at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, where he received his MFA in Dramatic Writing ('05).

Noble Johnson
African-American movie actor and producer Noble Johnson was born on April 18, 1881, in Marshall, Missouri. His family moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado, when Noble was very young, and it was there that he met Lon Chaney at school. They became friends as children, and later got re-acquainted when both were making movies in Hollywood and became friends all over again (surprisingly, they never made any movies together). Johnson was built like a bull, standing 6'2" at 215 pounds. His impressive physique and handsome features made him in demand as a character actor and bit player. In the silent era he essayed a wide variety of characters of different races in a plethora of films, primarily serials, westerns and adventure movies. While Johnson was cast as blacks in many films, he also played Native American and Latino parts and "exotic" characters such as Arabians or even a devil in hell in Dante's Inferno (1924) (the old black and white orthochromatic film stock of the early days was less discriminating about a person's color, as were B+W stocks in general, permitting some African-American actors a break, as their "color" was washed out or less obvious when photographed in B+W. As late as the early 1960s, there were very few African-American members of the Screen Actors Guild, since there was a lack of opportunity for them as black performers were confined mostly to race films until the 1960s). In all his roles, Johnson lived up to his Christian name: his was a noble and dignified presence that exhibited great power and substance. Johnson also was an entrepreneur. In 1916 he founded his own studio to produce what would be called "race films", movies made for the African-American audience, which was ignored by the "mainstream" film industry. The Lincoln Motion Picture Co., which was in existence until 1921, was an all-black company, the first to produce movies portraying African-Americans as real people instead of as racist caricatures (Johnson was followed into the race film business by Oscar Micheaux and others). Johnson, who served as president of the company and was its primary asset as a star actor, helped support the studio by acting in other companies' productions such as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1916), and using the money he made in those films to invest in Lincoln. Lincoln's first picture was The Realization of a Negro's Ambition (1916). For four years Johnson managed to keep Lincoln a going concern, primarily due to his extraordinary commitment to African-American filmmaking. However, he reluctantly resigned as president in 1920, as he no longer could continue his double business life, maintaining a demanding career in Hollywood films while trying to run a studio. In the 1920s Johnson was a very busy character actor, appearing in such top-notch films as The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (1921) with Rudolph Valentino, Cecil B. DeMille's original The Ten Commandments (1923) andThe Thief of Bagdad (1924). He made the transition to sound, appearing in the 1930 version of Moby Dick (1930) as Queequeg to John Barrymore's Captain Ahab. He was also the tribal leader on Skull Island in the classic King Kong (1933) (and its sequel, The Son of Kong (1933)) and appeared in Frank Capra's classic Lost Horizon (1937) as one of theporters. One of his last films was John Ford's classic She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949), in which he played Native American Chief Red Shirt. He retired from the movie industry in 1950. Johnson died on January 9, 1978, in Yucaipa (San Bernardino), California, at age 96. He is buried in the Garden of Peace at Eternal Valley Memorial Park in Newhall, California.
