Blackwell tapped Cole to manage his Blue Mountain Music publishing catalog of over 15,000 songs including the catalogs of such luminaries as Bob Marley. Cole and Blackwell were Grammy nominees for their work on the documentary “Marley” in the category of Best Compilation for Visual Media.   Cole is Co-Producer of the documentary “Alive Inside” which won the coveted audience award at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival.  The film explores the strong link that is made between music and memory.    Cole is Producer of "The Art Of Dying Young" with Director Shawn Peters.
