That's a wrap!

We wrapped yesterday... wrapped what? The film "Other Life" that myself and Chop Shop Studios have been making! Here's their blog with photos from the shoot :)

Today I am exhausted physically and drained mentally & emotionally, BUT I am thrilled at what we did. Based on the footage I've seen so far, I think we made something truly beautiful and true to ourselves. I am already looking forward to the next project... perhaps an Objects of Hope piece?


Poetry of the Moment (Sunday eve)

Dancing through
my time with you
Senses tickled,
giggling like
water flowing
Sunset purple
bright
Memories ignite
Reason leaves
quietly
tip-toe past that
silly little doubt
whispering shhhhhh...
Not now
today
or tomorrow
Now is quite
present.

These are the hands of Terence Nicholson of Five Rings Arts & Entertainment Services. He's a now-frequent collaborator on new projects. Today we began working on a film tentatively titled "Other Life" with Emily Gallaher and Austin Elston of Chop Shop Studios. Terence is one of those brilliant on the spot souls who makes beautiful things happen with what appears to be the greatest of ease. I am so thrilled to know him and to work with him.

We are premiering the film in the Source Festival's "mash-up" series July 1-3.
