Syndicated movie critic Kam Williams has called, The Vanishing Black Male, the best Black documentary of 2005. Bloomfield College 2005 graduate Dadisi DuBose developed the DVD cover for the movie as well as four other illustrations that appear in the body of the documentary.
The movie premiered at the College's Robert Van Fossan Theater back in September of 2005 and since then has received coverage in at least ten national publications, shown at the Cape May New Jersey State Film Festival, screened in New York City at Film Archives by the Black Documentary Collective and has been distributed on the internet by Indiepix.net. A large poster of his cover artwork for The Vanishing Black Male will hang in the lobby of the AMC theaters in downtown Phoenix, AZ while the documentary is being shown at the Arizona Black Filmmaker Showcase 3/16-19. The movie and poster will also be shown at the Garden State Film Festival (Asbury Park) 3/31-4/2.
Dubose developed the artwork for the DVD cover and poster of The Vanishing Black Male documentary, while studying at Bloomfield College, where his mother, Hisani Dubose, is also an Adjunct Professor. “Even though it was my mother's movie, she is a perfectionist and would not have used my idea if it did not enhance the project,” he said.
While studying in the CAT department, Dubose also developed the animated short movie, Shorty's Rule, which was shown in 2005 at the Atlanta Student Film Festival and the Cape May New Jersey State Film Festival in Ocean City. In 2004, he was one of the artists featured in the Asbury Park Press in an article on "American Indian Arts in New Jersey" because of his skill and Seminole ancestry.
A graduate of Arts High School in Newark, New Jersey, Dubose also studied under animation great, Ralph Bashki during a week-long intensive animation program at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan.
In 2003, DuBose received a nomination for Best Set Design for his grafitti set design in the play, The 4am 'Lizabeth, from Spotlight On Productions, an off-off Broadway organization, and was also noted in the Star Ledger for designing the award for the NJ Movie Maker's Network's Prime Awards for Excellence and Support in Movies and Television.
