Cliff Divine (/'klɪf dɪ'vaɪn/ Audio file "Cliff Divine pronunciation.ogg" not found; born Andrew Cliff Tisba) is a French-born American actor, comedian, filmmaker, and activist. He is the founder of Reconnect, a nonprofit global movement promoting human reconnection through "Laughter, Oneness, and Love". He is the co-founder of the #Connect peace movement, whose 50-state peace tour across the United States used his signature physical gesture and sound ‘Mm-Hmm!’,[1] as reported by multiple U.S. news outlets.[2][3][4][5] His filmmaking and activism have been acknowledged by the United Nations and at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Governors Awards.[6][7][8][9]

His short film Dignity about Alzheimer's was screened at the Cannes Short Film Corner and the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival, and later broadcast internationally on TV5 Monde. Cliff Divine's lead role in Samir[10] earned him the Public Prize at Generation Court,[11] presided by filmmaker Luc Besson, and his lead role performance in the feature film Kids With Guns received an Honorary Mention for Best Actor at the South Film and Arts Academy Festival. The film received multiple awards at the Paris Art and Movie Awards.[12][13][14][15]

Euzhan Palcy recognized his activism and filmmaking in her Oscar acceptance speech with Viola Davis, and his peace work has drawn support from political figures such as Kamala Harris and civil rights activist John Lewis, as well as actors including Davis, Jordan Peele, Idris Elba, and Jude Law.[16][17][18][19][20] Cliff Divine’s upcoming docuseries, Mm-Hmm! 50 States of Violence to Peace, executive-produced by Euzhan Palcy, chronicles the 50-state tour that preceded the Reconnect Movement and, according to Cliff Divine, explores themes of peace, unity, and human connection.

Early life and education

Cliff Divine was born in Bagnolet, a suburb of Paris, France, and raised in a working-class family. His Spanish mother worked for Air France in the airline industry, and his Caribbean father was employed in construction.[citation needed]

After his parents' separation, Cliff Divine grew up with his mother and brother in modest circumstances, facing the challenges of single motherhood, financial hardship, and frequent debt collectors. These experiences later inspired many of the social themes in his creative work.[21] Growing up in France, he experienced both cultural diversity and racial discrimination, navigating life as a mixed child of Caribbean and European descent. Raised in Dammartin-en-Goële, Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, and Paris's 17th arrondissement, Cliff Divine later immigrated to Los Angeles, where he continued working in film, performance, and community-focused projects.

Born with strabismus, a condition affecting eye alignment, Cliff Divine underwent corrective surgery during childhood. The temporary loss of sight led him to rely on imagination and memory, experiences that later inspired the name of his production company, Memory Studios.[22]

Cliff Divine began creating and writing stories as early as the age of three. He invented original tales and also adapted stories his uncle Gerard Gesina had told him. He engaged in humor, drumming, and performance, frequently entertaining his mother and brother when his mother was battling depression. His uncle Gerard Gesina, a music composer and the official drummer of Juliette Greco,[23][24][25] also nurtured his early love for rhythm and storytelling, inspiring him to learn the drums at a young age. Another uncle, Mat Camison, his godfather, briefly introduced him to music by sending homemade tapes during his childhood. He later discovered Capoeira, the Afro-Brazilian art form born from the African slaves resistance to slavery, blending dance, martial arts, music, and philosophy, which deepened his passion for artistic expression, movement, and freedom.

As a teenager, Cliff Divine discovered his passion for filmmaking and screenwriting while traveling abroad. Inspired by reading Story by screenwriting theorist Robert McKee,[26] he decided to pursue film as a means of exploring human connection. He later studied directing and screenwriting at EICAR, The International Film School of Paris[27] and trained in acting at Acting International.[28] Later he studied under Oscar Sisto,[29] and with Jack Garfein,[30] a founding member of the Actors Studio in Los Angeles with Paul Newman.[31][32] This combination of film education and acting training influenced the subjects and style of his later creative work.

Career

Cliff Divine began his professional filmmaking career writing, directing and producing short films that explored themes of identity, diversity, love and resilience. His early works including the comedies The Gentlemen's Castle, Against Time, 2 Dumb Cops, and the drama Dignity, were screened at major international festivals such as the Cannes Short Film Corner and the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival,[33][34][35][36] and were later acquired and broadcast internationally on TV5 Monde.[37][38][39]

As an actor, Cliff Divine gained recognition for his performances in independent cinema. His short film Samir (2014) won the Public Prize at the Generation Court Festival, presided over by filmmaker Luc Besson, and has since attracted more than 300,000 views online.[40] Cliff Divine lead performance in Kids With Guns (2018) earned him an Honorary Mention for Best Actor at the South Film and Arts Academy Festival.

In 2015, Cliff Divine rose to national attention in France through a viral act of satire that exposed racial bias in the entertainment industry. Disguised as a casting director, he posted a fake casting call full of clichés on Cineaste.org[41] to highlight discriminatory practices within French cinema. The post went viral, generating coverage across major French media outlets.[42][43][44][45][46] After Cliff Divine revealed himself as the author, several media outlets covered the story, and he was later invited to appear on French national television.[47]

At the time, he was also developing Burning Love (formerly titled French Air Love), an international television project exploring themes of love and diversity through the genre of romantic thriller. The widespread attention from his viral satire cemented his reputation as both a creative provocateur and an emerging voice for equity in the arts.[48][49]

He was deeply affected by the November 2015 Paris attacks, and redirected his artistic mission from pure entertainment to healing through leadership, filmmaking and activism. This transformation led him to co-found the #LetsAllConnect Movement on January 30, 2016 with activist Manuel Frederick, a grassroots movement promoting peace and unity through physical human connection.[50][51] This evolved into the nationwide #Connect Movement, a 50-state peace tour dedicated to bringing people together through a unifying gesture and the sound, "Mm-Hmm," created by Cliff Divine.[52] The movement's success and message later grew into Reconnect, the nonprofit organization and love movement that Cliff Divine now leads, expanding his mission globally to foster human reconnection through "Laughter, Oneness, and Love".[53][54][55]

Comedy and performance

In addition to his work in film and activism, Cliff Divine performs as a stand-up comedian, actor and character artist.[56][57][58] He has appeared at venues including Flappers Comedy Club (Yoo Hoo Room and Main Room),[59][60] Hollywood Comedy, Hollywood Improv, Comedy Château, and Club Lagos, presenting a mix of physical comedy, character sketches, and social satire. His performances often blend surrealism and social commentary, exploring identity, culture, and spirituality through humor and movement.

Cliff Divine incorporates multiple recurring characters in his live routines and online sketches, using satire and impersonation to address universal human themes. His comedic approach incorporates physicality and character-driven humor, drawing inspiration from performers such as Robin Williams, Trevor Noah and Jim Carrey. Cliff Divine is currently developing a one-hour comedy special and a television series titled The Aliens, a comedy about the intersecting lives and misadventures of six immigrants adapting to modern America.

Global leadership and activism

In 2016, Cliff Divine paused his entertainment career to co-found the #Connect Movement (originally #LetsAllConnect) in response to rising global violence and social division. The movement promoted peace and unity through a signature gesture and sound, "Mm-Hmm!", symbolizing human agreement of connection beyond culture and language. Using his filmmaking skills, Cliff Divine documented a 50-state journey that reached hundreds of thousands of people and received national coverage on CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, and KTLA.[61][62][63][64][65]

The #Connect Movement's message of unity attracted support from world leaders and cultural figures including Vice President Kamala Harris, John Lewis, California Governor Gavin Newsom, 12 U.S. Senators including Elizabeth Warren, Lisa Murkowski, Cory Booker, Tammy Duckworth, and Dick Durbin, as well as artists and icons such as Viola Davis, Jordan Peele, Jude Law, Idris Elba, Chadwick Boseman, Herbie Hancock, Woody Harrelson, Colin Farrell, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Cornel West, Debbie Allen, Akon, Hawaii Governor David Ige[66] and Andy Cohen.[67] The movement was also acknowledged by the United Nations and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.[68][69][70]

Cliff Divine's advocacy included a tribute to the 49 victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting, featuring a custom-painted Jeep with a Peace sign on the roof and covered with 49 handprints from survivors and family of the victims. The Peace Jeep, which he drove across many states during the 50-state tour, became a symbol of unity and peace and the hood of the car was later used signed by 12 U.S. Senators and several elected officials from both parties at the U.S. Capitol, symbolizing bipartisan support for peace. It was also placed at the center of a nationwide act of unity in Orlando, Florida, where 800 people formed a giant heart around it, performing the movement's signature gesture and sound "Mm-Hmm!" in what became the largest recorded moment of collective connection for his nationwide peace campaign.[71][72][73][74][75]

During this period, Cliff Divine developed a mentorship with Oscar Honoree Euzhan Palcy, the first Black woman to direct a Hollywood studio film (A Dry White Season).[76] Euzhan Palcy became the Godmother of the #Connect Movement in 2016 and, in 2022, she invited Cliff Divine to co-write her Oscar acceptance speech for the Governors Awards.

During her Oscar speech, Euzhan Palcy and Viola Davis performed the signature gesture and sound "Mm-Hmm," created by Cliff Divine live on stage before more than 800 industry figures, including Tom Hanks, Peter Weir, Michael J Fox, Woody Harrelson, Jordan Peele, Jude Law, Glen Powell, Jonathan Majors, Jeff Bridges, and Ruth Carter.[77][78][79]

Cliff Divine is currently showrunning the docuseries Mm-Hmm! 50 States of Violence to Peace, executive-produced by Euzhan Palcy. The series chronicles his 50-state peace tour and the origins of what later became the Reconnect Movement. Through archival news footage and firsthand storytelling, it documents a journey that united communities across the United States through human connection and laid the foundation for Reconnect's global message of "Laughter, Oneness, and Love".[80][81]

Artistry and training

After several years devoted to filmmaking and activism, Cliff Divine returned to the performing arts. Determined to refine his American English for international audiences, he trained intensively to master the American accent under Jon Sperry, a Hollywood speech coach,[82] and later studied with Geoff Anderson at Fluent American English.[83]

Cliff Divine studied for three months at Identity School of Acting in Los Angeles, founded by Femi Oguns, whose alumni include John Boyega and Letitia Wright.[84][85]

Cliff Divine also pursued vocal studies with Danish opera singer Mary-Ann Birch Hansen and very briefly with Seth Riggs, the vocal coach of Michael Jackson.[86] Supplementing this with online tutorials such as Jacob's Vocal Academy, he refined his tone and range through self-directed study.[87]

As a dancer, Cliff Divine trained at the Debbie Allen Dance Academy[88][89] in Los Angeles, where he was introduced to Debbie Allen, a supporter of his peace movement. He studied modern, jazz, electro, voguing, African, ballet and hip-hop under the mentoring of Karen McDonald, the Academy's director and NAACP Image Award-winning choreographer who has worked with Michael Jackson and Beyoncé.[90][91][92]

This immersion in dance and performance reignited Cliff Divine's passion for music. After receiving a small arts grant, he returned to drumming, a skill passed down from his uncle Gérard Gesina, a professional drummer, who died during the COVID-19 pandemic. Cliff Divine later explored piano, guitar, pandeiro, handpan, and djembe, incorporating live instrumentation into his performing and art.[93][94]

Memory studios

In 2022, Cliff Divine founded Memory Studios, a Los Angeles–based production company specializing in film, photography, and digital media. The studio evolved from his earlier 2014 concept, Memory Entertainment, inspired by his childhood experience of temporary blindness after eye surgery, which sparked his lifelong interest in visual storytelling.[95][96]

The company produces film, photography, and digital media projects across fashion, music, real estate, and entertainment. As founder and CEO, Cliff Divine oversees all aspects of production, including writing, directing, cinematography, and editing.[97][98][99][100][101][102]

Reconnect

In April 2024, following the departure of co-founder Manuel Frederick, Cliff Divine restructured the former #Connect Peace Movement into a new nonprofit initiative called Reconnect.[103][104][105] The organization expands Cliff Divine's mission of promoting peace and unity through physical reconnection, symbolized by the gesture and sound "Mm-Hmm!". Reconnect is a movement for human reconnection whose core philosophy centers on "Laughter, Oneness, and Love", encouraging reconciliation and love across cultures.[106]

Reconnect integrates Cliff Divine's interest in awakening people and spirituality, influenced by mentors such as Sibongile West, a long-time teacher of Transcendental Meditation[107][108] trained by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi,[109] deeply shaped Cliff Divine's worldview and inspired some of the guiding principles of the Reconnect movement.

The Reconnect music projects further this mission through collaboration with French producer Franck Rapp known for his work on CNN Sole Survivor (2013 film).[110][111] Rapp composed the scores for several of Cliff Divine's films, as well as the official hymns for both the #Connect Peace Movement and the Reconnect Love Movement. Together, they are developing the upcoming Reconnect Album, blending music, dance, storytelling, global unity and love themes.[112]

Personal life and philosophy

During his travels through all 50 U.S. states as part of the #Connect Movement, Cliff Divine met Megan Divine in Chicago, Illinois, the thirty-sixth state on the tour. She would later become his wife and professional collaborator.[113] The two were married in August 2019 in Malibu, California, in a private ceremony.

Earlier in his life, Cliff Divine experienced what he described as a spiritual awakening through a dream that led him to change his name from Andrew Cliff Tisba to Cliff Andrew Divine. The change reflected his wish to detach from his father's surname and from a family name historically linked to slavery in Martinique, and to honor what he viewed as a personal calling toward creative and spiritual freedom. Cliff Divine's ancestry reflects the multi-ethnic heritage of the Caribbean, combining African and Indigenous Carib (Kalinago) roots from his father's family in Martinique and Spanish heritage from his mother's family in southern Spain.

Immigration struggles and the American dream

Before, during, and after his 50-state peace tour with the #Connect Movement, Cliff Divine faced recurring visa challenges while maintaining legal status in the United States. For several years, he was required to fly back to France every 90 days to renew his travel authorization, a process that created financial strain and uncertainty about continuing his work abroad, including one incident in which he was detained and questioned by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials.

In 2019, Cliff Divine was granted an O-1B visa for Individuals with Extraordinary Ability by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), recognizing his work in activism, filmmaking, and the national reach of the #Connect Movement.

In 2024, Cliff Divine became a U.S. citizen. He took the citizenship oath at the Fox Performing Arts Center in Riverside, California. The ceremony was photographed by Los Angeles Times Pulitzer Prize–winning photojournalist Robert Gauthier[114] and covered by multiple news outlets, including the Los Angeles Times,Yahoo! and AOL News.[115][116][117][relevant? – discuss]

Recognition and honors

Cliff Divine has received national and international recognition for his work in filmmaking, performing and activism. His short film Dignity (2013) was selected for the Cannes Short Film Corner and the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival, and several of his films, including Dignity, The Gentlemen's Castle, 2 Dumb Cops and Against Time, were later acquired by TV5 Monde for international broadcast.

In 2014, Samir won the Audience Award at the Generation Court festival, supported by Luc Besson, and in 2018 his lead performance in Kids With Guns earned an Honorary Mention for Best Actor at the South Film and Arts Academy Festival.[118][119] The film received multiple awards at the Paris Art and Movie Awards, where Cliff Divine's work was represented on stage during a ceremony that also featured Sharon Stone.[120][121][122][123] At the Governors Awards on November 19, 2022, during her Oscar acceptance speech, director Euzhan Palcy, joined on stage by Viola Davis, acknowledged Cliff Divine's filmmaking and activism in each of the 50 U.S. States for peace and unity.[124][125][126] His activism has also been recognized by the United Nations and covered in over 33 news stations and by numerous newspapers across the United States and Europe.[127]
