Being Here

I am very glad to share this short film my friend Hilary dreamed into existence and my other friend Becca filmed — both dear pals,  creatively powerful ladies and inspirations to me on a regular basis.  I was able to play a small role in the creation of this project and I think it turned out so beautifully.

I should also mention this film debuted at 5 Point Film Festival this spring and won the people’s choice award!  I wasn’t surprised when I found out.  It’s relatable, transporting and true.  How could it not resonate with viewers?

I love you Hil and Becca and am so proud of you, as well as the honest work of your hands and minds!  It’s such a joy to watch you change the world we live in, bit by bit, not to mention the effects you’ve had on the complex universe of my own small heart.  Thank you for being a part of my tribe and for being in my life.

To everyone else:

Enjoy!

    You ladies are amazing, I have so much respect for y’all. Keep on doing what you do, making this world a better place and teaching the rest of us how it can be done. Enjoyed indeed!!

  3. God, yes. Exactly this. Because this is sanity. And life essence.

  4. Beautiful! So true! The wilderness is where I connect back to the Earth and feel part of the cycle of life. This speaks volumes to this notion. Connecting to our wild selves is so important. Thank you ladies for putting together such a wonderful short! The award is well-deserved.
