TV & FILMCruz LorenzActor Jonathan Tucker Talks Career Diversity, Preparation, and Longevity in the TV and Film Industry, Photography, Santiago Elliott Words, Cruz Lorenz In Conversation with Jonathan Tucker, Actor Jonathan Tucker has made a name for himself in the world of TV and film with his diverse range of roles, from playing a mixed martial artist in "Kingdom" to a sinister character in "Westworld." In our recent interview, Tucker shared insights into his acting journey and his approach to storytelling. Tucker, who began his career as a young ballet dancer, credits his experience with the Boston Ballet for his discipline and ability to take direction, skills that have served him well in his acting pursuits. He also talked about growing up in Boston and how his diverse upbringing has informed his acting work. When asked about his preference between film and TV, Tucker highlighted the importance of character over medium. He believes both mediums offer ample opportunities to tell stories that resonate with audiences. One of the unique aspects of Tucker's career is his ability to avoid being typecast into a particular genre or role. He hopes to continue taking on diverse characters that challenge him as an actor, even if it means going through painful or challenging periods., While Tucker recognizes the power of social media in connecting with fans, he is cautious about sharing too much personal information that might limit his professional opportunities. He also emphasizes the importance of staying curious and exploring different avenues of personal growth, even during professional uncertainty. Tucker's breakthrough role was in the film "The Deep End, " which he says changed his career trajectory. However, he sees every project he works on as an opportunity to build upon his past experiences and grow as an actor. For his latest role in "Palm Trees and Power Lines, " Tucker relied on his physical exploration and training in Alexander Technique to inform his performance. He believes that every character's trauma tells their public persona and that bringing those inner complexities to life on screen is his job. Finally, Tucker shared that he has several new projects in the works, including a fictional podcast called "The Mantawauk Caves" and a film called "God is a Bullet" with Jamie Foxx. For Tucker, storytelling is a career and a way of life. He is committed to approaching every role with the same dedication and professionalism and hopes to continue bringing robust and diverse characters to audiences., PHOTOGRAPHY SANTIAGO ELLIOTT ART DIRECTION IGEE OKAFOR RETOUCHING ALEXANDER SILKIN GROOMING ERIC VOSBURG

TECHRichard O'NealAn Insightful Conversation on the Future of Remote Work with Kino CEO, Raviv Nadav, PHOTOGRAPHY JULIO NUNO ART DIRECTION STYLING IGEE OKAFOR RETOUCHING ALEXANDER SILKIN, RO: How might Kino or other online workspace environments impact a business's overall culture and values, and what steps can be taken to ensure a positive impact? RN: Technology as a tool can positively impact our advancement as a society and as a global village, with communication at its core. It’s all about communication; the better tools we’ll have communicating and delivering a real, authentic human experience, the better we are for it. That’s what offices were created for, to begin with.  With Kino, companies can expand, and people can grow better. Even when not in the same city, state, or even country. The better the tool, the better the experience. We have to keep it real, simple, and human. Meta tried to bring about a metaverse reality that is not real - it’s not human - it’s masked. They had to stop. The future of remote work is more inclusive, diverse, and inspiring. I’m sure of it. My company is a remote-first company; we only connect via Kino. It’s excellent, and we enjoy it; I’ve never been so connected to people that are so far from me like that. Kino makes it easier to reconsider the benefits of physical office space and the ease of hiring hybrid or remote-first.  It also makes it easy to have a unified schedule for people, just like in the traditional office, which makes it easy for people to tap into the company's resources., RO: I was thinking about Kino's integration with tablets and other devices and how it might impact how businesses communicate with their teams. Would having the ability to use Kino on different devices make it easier for teams to communicate quickly and effectively? RN: You can use Kino on your mobile device while on the go to engage, collaborate, or manage your team from anywhere. That's a game-changer, primarily if you work remotely or have team members in different locations. Another cool thing is using mobile devices as an additional screen on your desk. Instead of having a desk phone, you can use a tablet for internal communication with your team. It's convenient to stay connected and get things done without switching between different devices or apps. I think flexibility is essential these days, especially when we're all so used to moving and working from different locations. It's great to have tools like Kino that make it easy to stay connected and productive no matter where you are., RO: How does Kino cater to the specific needs of businesses compared to other online workspace environments? RN:  Implementing roles and permissions in Kino allows corporations more significant control over their online workspace environment. The ability to customize functions and permissions to fit the unique needs of each team or department makes Kino a versatile solution for a wide range of businesses. With that ability, it’s easy to determine who can access different spaces in Kino, who can’t, and who will have access to specific ones and who doesn’t. One cool thing about Kino is that it has all these unique features that allow business owners or leaders to check in on the company's status in real-time. It's almost like walking into a traditional office and experiencing the presence of everyone there, even though you're all working remotely. That's important when working virtually, especially when managing a team. It helps you stay connected and on top of things, even when you can't physically be in the same space as everyone else. RO: I'm interested in hearing examples of how it's been used to improve communication and collaboration in an office setting. RN: I especially love the Spaces View feature, which shows the functional spaces in the Kino workspace in real time. It's like turning your head in the office and seeing who's available or around. It's much faster and easier than walking around and trying to catch a colleague in person. Plus, it still feels personal because you can have a face-to-face interaction. That's what sets Kino apart from some of the other remote communication tools out there. It prioritizes that human connection, so you're not sacrificing productivity for relationship-building. And that's so important when working with a team, whether you're in the office or not. There's a Privacy Mode that lets you blur your video feed and show just your silhouette. And if you need to have a private conversation, a Private Spaces feature works like closing an office door. Only the people inside the space can see and hear each other, and others outside can't enter without permission. Some convenient tools make communication and collaboration easier. Stage View is a great feature that lets the speaker see the audience's videos, perfect for team meetings and presentations. And, of course, Screen Sharing is a must-have for working with colleagues., RO: Have you ever thought about how relying too much on virtual communication and the metaverse might have some downsides? What do you think some of those drawbacks could be, and are there any ways to address them? We're all spending more time online these days, so it's something to consider. RN: Yeah, I agree that relying too much on virtual communication can be challenging, especially when missing out on face-to-face interaction and all the social cues that come with it. It can impact relationships and make it hard to build trust with others. That's why Kino is such a great solution! It gives you the constant face-to-face communication important for building connections and getting things done. Still, it also prioritizes human contact, so you're not sacrificing productivity for relationship-building. It's the best of both worlds!, Photography, Julio Nuno Words, Richard O’Neal In Conversation with Raviv Nadav, THE LOOK Tuxedo Shirt, Tom Ford, THE LOOK Bowtie, Tom Ford; Suit, BMC Studio, THE LOOK Denim, Polo Ralph Lauren, THE LOOK Sweater Vest, MSGM Milano; Trousers, Kino CEO Raviv Nadav on Embracing The New Era of Remote Work
