It seems to me we get what we “deserve” on some level.   There’s something inevitable about what shows up in our life.  With the  exception of lightning, etc.   So maybe we ask for it, either consciously or unconsciously.   All this speaks to a life well spent as life that accepts and deals with what shows up.  I’ve found that to be so true in my life and to my great joy.

I am really proud of this movie. Its my favorite so far.   This film is a true collaboration between a number of creative people.

Last year I worked with my editor, Ed Keller to create an hour long Silent film called “Moisture”. When we showed that film in an art gallery, there were two jazz musicians that played music LIVE.  In the room that night was a young Poet, Miles Frode and he was moved to create a poem that he later recorded and we wove that into a re-edit of the film that brought it down to about 17 minutes.  THEN I got together with Martin Behnke who did an amazing job at writting an original score for this film. Then sound engineer Bradley Sauders worked his magic as he wove together the performances of multiple musicians to create the master audio track that you will hear in this final version of “Families of Shifted Light” which premiered at the Rogue Gallery of Art on January 25th 2019.

This is “old” work but it holds it’s own and I really like this version of it done by Don Macken. You get to see and hear me too! Enjoy.
