Stumbled upon two remarkable videos. Enjoy

DARK SIDE OF THE LENS from Astray Films on Vimeo.

SENSE OF FLYING from STAVFEL PRODUKTION on Vimeo.

If you want to see scientific proof of this truth, watch this TED talk. It turns the cheesy but untrue axiom of «Money does not buy happiness» into « Money given away does buy you happiness». It's well worth your 11 minutes. Enjoy.

Just saw wonderful 20 minute long film called «Finding Bella». The film was written and directed by Myron Kim and produced by Lotay Yang, the founder of the Black Card Circle Foundation.

If you feel a sense of loss and lack of purpose, take twenty minutes to watch this. I love the name Bella, my youngest daughter's name, and of course, it means beautiful.  The story is the story of life in general. No matter how much is broken we can find beauty. Enjoy.

The film Blue Like Jazz opened in select theaters this weekend. Here's what I thought of it.

 If you have read the book, inevitably you will wish for more in the film, but that is just impossible given the medium. If you haven't read the book, make sure you read it even if you saw the movie. The storyline is different.

Here's a great interview with Director Jay Torres ( Desperate Housewives, Alias, Return Of The Mummy Ride etc). Jay is a personal friend and a believer.

We talked about some of my favorite topics: the creative process, working globally and the future of new media. Enjoy.
