Michael Latt Legacy Fund Aims to Carry on Artistic Mission for Lead With Love Founder

The actor, director and producer discusses his new documentary and shares what surprised him the most while studying Martin Luther King Jr. for the film.

“If I Go Will They Miss Me,” a coming-of-age drama that premiered at Sundance Film Festival, has landed at indie distributor Rich Spirit.

Students from City Honors Preparatory Academy and Inglewood High School joined the Los Angeles Clippers at the Intuit Dome for an early screening of the short film "Hoops, Hopes & Dreams." The film explores how King and Obama used basketball as a unifier, especially with young people.

Michael was the best of us. Someone who believed fundamentally that community was important for its own sake, that culture can change the world, that - if this was true - undersupported artists in particular deserved particular support.

Andscape, the Black-led media platform owned by The Walt Disney Company, has acquired “Hoops, Hopes & Dreams,” a short documentary that premiered at Sundance Film Festival. It also received the best documentary short award at the 2025 Cleveland International Film Festival.
