- Alex (Alexander) Hill was born in Rock Hill, South Carolina. The youngest of three children from the marriage of John Hill and Phyllis (Hemphill) Hill. The eldest child was Alex's sister Emma, the middle child was brother Coleman. Alex's Maternal Grandmother, Isabella also lived in the home. Alex's Grandmother, Isabella was born into slavery and transported to the United States circa 1850 from Cuba.
Alex was multi talented, he loved to sing and dance and often performed dramatic skits using his dancing and acting skills. Alex saw the Pre-Code 1929 Hollywood film "Hallelujah" directed by King Vidor and starring a majority African American cast. Alex was then convinced there was a place for African American artists in Hollywood. After the death of Alex's dad John, Alex moved with his Mother and Grandmother Isabella to Washington, D.C. to stay with his older brother Coleman. Like many African Americans at the time, the promise of job opportunities and better life in the north prompted African Americans to leave the rural south. Alex stayed in D.C. less than two years. Deciding, he couldn't wait any longer, at the age of 17 1/2 Alex decided to travel to Hollywood. His Mother and family were nervous about the dangers of a young African American male traveling cross country alone, tried to dissuade him. Finally, he agreed to wait until after his favorite niece, Louise's sixth birthday celebration in June 1932, then embark on the cross country journey to Hollywood.
In Hollywood job opportunities were sparse. Alex, to his delight, was able to appear in one on King Vidor's films, "So Red the Rose". Alex also was able to secure employment outside of acting as valet for Fred Astaire and as extra in two of the Astaire movies of the 1930's. Alex left Hollywood about 1940 and moved to New York City. - Eva Brooke Baker is a tiny firecracker who envelops everyone with her contagious positive energy.

Frankie Nasso began his career in film at the age of 10, when he landed the role of Young Joe Pesci in Disney's Gone Fishin'. This helped earn his next major performing role as the title character in Prince of Central Park, where he starred alongside Academy Award-Nominated actors Harvey Keitel, Kathleen Turner, Danny Aiello, and Cathy Moriarty. Frankie continued to work consistently in film and TV throughout high school, but his focus shifted from being in front of the camera to being behind it. Frankie's passion for the world of film production enabled him to graduate with honors from New York University's prestigious Tisch School of the Arts, earning a B.F.A. in Film & TV Production.
Armed with a Canon GL-1 camera and a love of rock music, Frankie began documenting some of his favorite bands while still in college. His first music video debuted on MTV when he was only twenty-years-old, catapulting his directing career. Over the years he developed a signature for narrative-based music videos that felt more like short films than style pieces. Explosive and controversial videos for artists such as Mudvayne, Asking Alexandria, Escape the Fate, Body Count, and Parkway Drive showcased his ability to pull unforgettable performances from actors and musicians alike. Frankie earned award nominations and wins in various publications from 2006-2016 consecutively, culminating with the Golden God Award for Best Music Video of the Year. His directing work has accumulated over 1Billion views on YouTube to date.
One of his greatest achievements came when Frankie was selected as 2nd Unit Director for the documentary feature film Sing Your Song, based on the life of actor/singer/humanitarian Harry Belafonte. Frankie captured intimate footage of Mr. Belafonte throughout the US and Europe over the course of two years, and he considers it a life-changing experience. The film would go on to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival Opening Night Gala, the Tribeca Film Festival, Berlinale, SXSW, and win the NAACP Image Award for Best Documentary. Prior to that, Frankie and his team won the highly competitive Spike Lee Babelgum Award in Cannes for the crime/drama short film Officer Down.
In 2019 Frankie Produced and Co-Directed Andrea Bocelli's largest concert performance in Beijing, China, with 78,000 people in attendance and 1.7-Billion viewers on live TV and streaming.
Today Frankie continues to direct and produce short form and feature-length films as Founder of Nova Entertainment Group. He lives in New York with his wife Christina and their boxer-bulldog Sammy Salami.- Actor
