For over a decade, celebrity photographer, famed producer and LA Native Leo Marshall has been highly sought after in the creative world. With the establishment of his company and brand, Leo Marshall Creative, Leo has traveled the world and drawn attention from a wide variety of high-end clientele, which includes musical artists, actors, athletes, modeling agencies, international publications and multimillion dollar companies. His inspiration behind it all is simple: find the beauty in everything and capture it through his lens. And this philosophy has driven Leo to perfect his creative vision, which allows him to provide a superior in-studio atmosphere and ultimately sets him apart from his competition. Starting out as a producer and coordinator of fashion shows and celebrity parties, as well as a model with Click Modeling agency, Leo made the transition to the other side of the lens after discovering his passion for the creative and artistic freedom of the photographer. Since then, he has worked with legends such as Gladys Knight, Serena Williams, 50 Cent, T.I., Lance Gross, Monica, Vivica Fox, Neyo, and an endless list of celebrities. You can find Leo’s work in publications like Rolling Stone, Upscale Magazine, and Playboy, in commercials for brands like Coca-Cola, Doritos, and The Atlanta Falcons, and overseas in countries such as Japan (he shot for Ruoy Hair Products, which is the L’Oreal of this country), Mexico, Dominican Republic, and St. Martin. No matter where his business takes him, Leo Marshall always brings positivity, enthusiasm, laughter, and an atmosphere conducive to the creative spirit with him. Leo currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia with his wife and young daughter. He is a dedicated family man and learning enthusiast who believes knowledge is power.

Every person has thought, at least once in their life, that it would be nice if there were no disease, no crime, no poverty, and/or for some other improvement in the Human condition. Since everyone has dreamed of a better world, it is fair to say that Humanity has a common dream. While no two humans are exactly the same, we are all of one race, the human race, and we all share the experience of life in an essentially identical carbon-based life-form structure. We all work for continuing survival while in this structure, and hope for a happy, safe, and good life for ourselves and for our loved ones. Therefore, everyone has a common desire for the best life attainable. "Utopia" is the word used to denote the best life attainable. Since each person has their own unique vision of Utopia, the only universally agreeable description of Utopia is, "the ability for each person to live in their own vision of paradise." Humanity should strive to obtain that ability... Since humans consist of both a tangible physical state (body) and an intangible mental state (mind), the way to achieve Utopia is to find technologies and methods that fully satisfy both states of human existence. With the right new knowledge Humanity can solve any problem and achieve any desired result. History has shown that anytime humanity wants to learn how to do something, such as land a man on the moon, the answers can be found if money and resources are devoted to the cause. Therefore, we should be devoting more resources toward finding the knowledge that will allow each person to live as they desire... Human DNA has been fully mapped and now it is just a matter of determining what each gene does so that we can manipulate the same to stop illness, increase intelligence, etc. Princeton University scientists have already genetically enhanced the intelligence of mice. Aged brains have been restored to youthful vigor in a gene therapy experiment with monkeys. Scientists have recently created a new life form in the laboratory by creating a new genetic pattern of a simple organism. Cloning capabilities are increasing. Computing capabilities are going ballistic, and artificial intelligence seems to be on the horizon. With robots, machines, computers, and other technologies beyond our current knowledge such as nanotechnology, we can have unlimited production capabilities. With genetic engineering, chemical manipulation, and future technologies we can enhance the mental state of existence. In sum, with the right new knowledge, humanity can have infinite provision for all tangible and intangible needs and wants for existence, and thereby have Utopia. If humanity recognized this reality, and devoted more resources toward knowledge, we could accelerate the pace at which we reach a better world... The three basic ways of interacting with knowledge, are: 1) dissemination from accessing stored information, through teaching, or from other methods of communication; 2) use through actions based on awareness of knowledge; and 3) acquisition of new knowledge from research, through experience, or from other avenues of discovery. Humanity has achieved proficient methods for dissemination of knowledge, and simply needs to better utilize the same in order to facilitate the use of knowledge. The primary method for finding new knowledge is through research and development. Less than 2% of current global productivity is being devoted to research and development. Clearly Humanity could and should be investing more in its future. Everyone makes a vote as to the type of world we have with their lifetime efforts, and the total of all human actions determines whether the world is like a heaven on earth or a living hell. Therefore, the pursuit of Utopia can be implemented through the consensus method. The consensus method simply involves putting a dream into words and spreading those words until a large enough consensus is created to cause positive action by society. Individually and collectively we must shine the light of knowledge on the darkness of ignorance, until we find our best. If we take such a path, at some point in the future, Humanity will have a heaven on earth, where everyone lives as they desire. In sum, since everyone desires a good life, we should make the same a common goal, and devote some more resources toward finding the knowledge to make it a reality for all. A simple plan to make a dream come true: Who = humans What = best life Where = globally Why = self destiny When = future How = knowledge...
The Morehouse Filmmakers’ Association is Morehouse College’s premiere student-run organization that functions as the practical laboratory for those students interested in pursuing a career in the film industry; and for those students that intend to major in Morehouse’s new film program, CTEMS (Cinema, Television, and Emerging Media Studies). The organization’s inception (by student initiation), in 2010, marked a pinnacle moment for the College to produce future film industry luminaries such as Samuel L. Jackson ’72, Bill G. Nunn III ’76 and Shelton “Spike” Lee ’79. The organization’s mission is to provide a diverse platitude of hands-on experiences for its members to promote a holistic filmmaking experience. Thus far as an organization, we have created a hip-hop documentary 'The AUCypher'; and are currently scripting a web series pilot 'CAMPUS CONNECTIONS' to be produced in the fall of 2013. This project will present hands on filmmaking experience for the members of our organization and the students of the (CTEMS) program.
