LET'S PLAY A GAME! If you could choose any location in your city to film a short film that highlights a unique or iconic part of your city, what location would it be and why?

*DON'T FORGET TO NOMINATE THREE FRIENDS TO PLAY ALONG WHEN YOU RESPOND!

Apparently planning for a vacation is just as satisfying as taking the vacation. So, while we're all waiting to get out of the house and get on set, I hope this game gives you some satisfaction and inspiration for when the lockdown lifts! Also, what a cool way to learn about your city and other filmmakers! Time to show off that hometown!

I think one of the best parts of filmmaking is getting to explore and highlight real locations. In the delightful film Paris Je T'aime (2006), well-known directors were asked to choose from iconic locations around Paris and create a short film that would blend into a series of vignettes. If you haven't seen it, give it a watch and tell me what you think!

I'd like to nominate Terrell Lamont Francesco Volpi and Brooklynn Fields to play along!

HAPPY Wishful-Thinking Wednesday, Filmmakers! 

Gorgeous Creatures!

Just wanted to say hi and plug in with this community, because I see the exponential power behind co-creation.

I used to work in London as an AD for 7 years on indies, studio films, music videos and mostly commercials, but by nature I'm more creatively inclined than schedules and strategies, so I've been building my writer/director portfolio to feed my creative essence.

Two years ago I side-tracked into spiritual science, and now I'm providing guidance as a Mindful Intimacy Catalyst, specifically for filmmakers, performers and creatives in the entertainment industry. This work goes way beyond the ordinary relationship and intimacy coaching, I'm mixing 24 years experience in tantric practices, with my insatiable interest in morphogenetic field physics, psychology, philosophy, NLP, somatic stress relief, sound healing and meditative practices.

I'm passionate about bringing all this knowledge to the filmmaking community, because I recognise our responsibility [and power] as storytellers & storysellers. The way we structure, shape, present, promote and popularise stories, journeys and relationships are quite literally teaching billions of people how to relate to themselves and one another. So my [probably life-long] mission is in bringing new energies into the filmmaking world, leaving behind thousands of years of conditioning [I hope You get which forces I'm referring to] and create an authentic, heart-centred, and truly exciting world for the benefit of all sentient beings.

I'm working on some interesting educational and narrative projects around all the above, so if You're interested just get in touch!

Much Love!
