DIRECTOR: G. BONE Gregory “G.Bone†Everett Artist, craftsman, filmmaker, hip-hop guru?Actually an amalgam of all these titles, Gregory Everett is forging his voice and vision onto the mosaic of pop culture, and is fast becoming a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry.Born and raised in Los Angeles, this child of the 70’s showed an affinity and talent for show business early on. During his elementary school years, young Gregory starred in numerous stage plays and directed his first film at the age of nine. Starting here and continuing throughout his years of secondary education, he pursued a strong interest in art, drama and history- devouring any and every cinema related book he could get his hands on. While in the eleventh grade, he receives his first formal instruction and training in cinema at the Barnsdall Junior Arts Academy for Filmmaking. He then receives professional training in drama, film, and video at The Ebony Showcase Theatre, and Brock Peter’s Communications’ Bridge. After High school Gregory went directly to film school at Los Angeles City College.Right about this time (the early 80’s), a new phenomenon was sweeping the country, Hip Hop! With rap and hip-hop electrifying L.A.’s youth Gregory began D.J’ing house parties (a hobby he had picked up in 1979), and took the name “MCG†or “G.Bone Kaponeâ€. He was one of the first D.J.’s on the west coast to recognize and spin rap music. Meanwhile, his college films were receiving noteworthy attention, such as “Best Animated Film†in the L.A.C.C. Film Festival. After graduating, he took on a few entry-level positions in the film industry. With one foot in the film world, and the other in the rapidly growing world of Hip Hop, G.Bone was getting a sobering dose of the real world: showbiz was tough to break into, especially for a young African-American man fresh out of film school in the early 80’s.As Hip Hop grew, so did G.Bone’s D.J. career. He launched a dance promotions company, named Ultra wave Promotions, which now featured a line-up of D.J.’s, Rappers, and concert-grade equipment. He hosted the most widely attended dances and talent shows at all the hottest venues in Los Angeles, creating a ground swell in West Coast Hip Hop culture. During this time he worked as a freelance producer for Kevin Biles Design, an industrial film company in Venice. He brought Hip Hop to the huge Hondo Motor Scooter “Just Breakin’†ad campaign of 1983. Convincing the ad company that Hip Hop was the media monster of the future, G. Bone wrote the rhymes, cast the breakers, and oversaw the wardrobe and art design. At Kevin Biles Design G.Bone was picked up by one of the early pioneers on non-linear editing, Alan Kozlowski and became an assistant editor on the early rap movie “Krushgrooveâ€. As the 1980’s came to an end, so did the once lucrative dance promotions business. G.Bone, staying close to the flames, opened two small recording studios: Studio Skid Row and Fat Rat Entertainment, catering strictly to Hip Hop artists and producers.During the L.A. rebellion; the civil unrest of 1992, he was a freelance writer and correspondent for Rap Pages and the Source Magazine. He also appeared in the documentary “Censorship In America†giving commentary on censorship of Black urban sentiments in Hip Hop music.By 1993, the artist formerly known as MCG was working in film production again, re-starting as a production assistant. By 1995 he had worked nearly every position on the set and had settled in as a sometimes producer- mostly assistant director.From 1995 to 1998, G.Bone co-wrote and produced three films at UCLA that won the “Spotlight Award†(the college equivalent of the Academy Award). During this time he also served over two hundred days as Assistant Director on various music videos. During this time he worked with such directors as Paul Hunter, Chris Robinson, Darren Grant, and most notably Dave Meyers. G.Bone served as a creative consultant for Dave Meyers and was his exclusive assistant director for the first two years of Dave’s career. G.Bone was also the second unit director for Dave’s debut feature, “Foolishâ€. In 1998, G.Bone was a producer on a documentary for Ruthless Records entitled “Eazy Duz It†about the late rapper easy E, which aired on B.E.T.Gregory “G.Bone†Everett is currently a music video director and documentary filmmaker. After being freed from his director contract at Shooting Star Pictures and 5th Gear Entertainment, he has started his own companies Ultra Wave Media (film & digital video production), Urban Noir Films (feature and Short film projects), and Film Revolution 2027 (documentaries).Under Film Revolution with a partnership with the Southern California Research Library, Gregory is currently producing and directing various documentary series including, “Black Infant Mortality: Your Generation at Risk; “History Of the Hood†(about the evolution of L.A. street gangs); 41st & Central (the story of the Southern California chapter of the Black Panther Party); and the “History Of West Coast Hip-Hopâ€. He is also a prolific screenwriter, with two scripts currently in negotiation “Caviar†and “Day In The J’s†for his company Urban Noir Films. Ultra Wave Media is currently finishing up the second of two contracts with Children’s Hospital Los Angeles- The 2006 Humanism Awards, and an in house safety video for Southern California Edison. Gregory is currently collecting Hip Hop and Party Scene memorabilia from the 70’s through the 90’s to create a History of West Coast Hip Hop film, book, online museum and traveling exhibit.Gregory is married to Lorean Everett and they have two sons, Gregory Jr., and Jeffrey.
