    LOS ANGELES --

    Director Todd Kapostasy has signed with bicoastal Cultivate.Media–the commercial and content production company overseen by managing director/executive producer Mark Thomas and EP Stuart Wilson–for exclusive U.S. spot representation.

    Kapostasy’s projects range from commercials and branded content to feature documentaries and episodic docuseries. His work spans clients like Amazon, Bose, ESPN and Nike, and includes such sports figures and entertainers as Erin Andrews, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Robert De Niro and Jamie Foxx.

    “While I think it would be somewhat expectant for me to say that Todd is a terrific storyteller (which he is), there’s just a lot more nuance to it,” said Thomas. “Be it a wink that turns into a smile, or a heart tug that turns into tears, he brings a sensibility to the work that is both clever and captivating.”

    A nine-time Sports Emmy winner (most recently as both director and an editor of 2024 Outstanding Long Feature, Unredeemable), Kapostasy began his career on the East Coast at ESPN’s Feature Unit. After moving to Los Angeles, he began directing both feature length documentaries and commercials, earning a reputation for fusing the polish and creativity of commercial production with his true-life storytelling. 

    He also freelance directed for ESPN Films and in 2019, Kapostasy helmed the definitive documentary on NBA legend Dennis Rodman (a 30 for 30 project), adding to his list of celebrity talent, which by now included LeBron James, Michael Jordan, Anthony Mackie, and Liev Schreiber. He also directed the four-part series Meddling for Peacock on the 2002 Olympic judging scandal. 

    Kapostasy began catching the eye of the commercialmaking world. Over the past five years, he has directed work for Nike, Bose, Zip Recruiter, NOBULL, PNC Bank, and Amazon. “As someone with a network sports background, I’ve always admired the huge brand campaigns,” he said, “and I’ve really enjoyed working within the agency-client-director dynamic.”  

    Cultivate.Media marks the first spot production affiliation for Kapostasy who shared, “Expressing ideas in their entirety through shorter-form storytelling is always a fun challenge and privilege. I’m really excited to join forces with Mark and Stu on this phase of my career.”

    Duane “Keffe D” Davis’ Murder Trial Heads To Closing In Tupac Shakur’s 1996 Killing

    Friday, August 28, 2026

    The murder trial of Duane "Keffe D" Davis in the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur is headed to closing arguments after the defense rested Thursday following testimony from three former Las Vegas police officers.

    Jurors are scheduled to return Monday for closing arguments before beginning deliberations in the only prosecution brought in the killing of the hip-hop icon. The presentation of evidence ended after nine days of testimony.

    Davis, 63, did not take the stand.

    Shakur was riding in a BMW on Sept. 7, 1996, when a white Cadillac pulled up next to it at a red light near the Las Vegas Strip and gunfire erupted. Shakur was shot multiple times and died six days later. The driver of the BMW, Marion "Suge" Knight, survived.

    Years later, Davis would say he procured the gun and his nephew, who has since died, fired the shots. Prosecutors say Davis orchestrated the killing, and he faces life in prison if convicted of murder with a deadly weapon with the intent to promote, further or assist a criminal gang. He has pleaded not guilty.

    Defense attorney Michael Sanft has argued that Davis fabricated or embellished his accounts of the killing for money and notoriety and that investigators failed to independently corroborate his claims.

    Retired Las Vegas homicide detective Dan Long, the defense's final witness, testified that he tried unsuccessfully to verify several details Davis provided during a 2009 police interview.

    Davis told Long that his nephew, Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson, had gone to a Las Vegas hospital after being beaten by Shakur and others in a casino brawl hours before the rapper was fatally shot. Long said he was unable to find hospital records confirming Anderson was treated there.
