This year during Summer Solstice I was immersed in a week of filming short films.  That week was a culmination of projects and busyness that climaxed with the production of the short film that I wrote and directed.  I am editing it now, can’t wait to show it to you, it was a lot of fun to produce.  I had to rely on my inner light and a lot of matcha to get through that intense week that started at the end of another intense and busy week.  ‘Bend‘ starring Cassandra Sanders, Micky Overman, and Jennie Graham.

My favorite film from the past month was Woody Allen’s ‘Midnight in Paris‘.  I am amazed at his ability to express the truth that ‘life is suffering’ with such humor.  Owen Wilson and Woody Allen are a great combination.  Check it out, in all of it’s absurdity that only Allen could pull off so coherently.

I have to give an honorable mention to Terrence Malick’s new film ‘Tree of Life‘ that was produced and starred in by Brad Pitt.  This film is more of an experimental piece rather than your typical Hollywood flick with a focus on exploring our inner world delving into spiritual exploration again covering topics from the 4 Noble Truths that ‘life is suffering’ and ‘the origin of suffering is attachment’.  I am not sure this one will do so well at the box office though I think it deserves recognition.

My schedule is a little less busy for the next week or two, only slightly so.  In my spare moments you will find me skating in the sun or on a yoga mat recalibrating my frequencies to calm focused bliss.
