It's been four months since I've found time or more accurately, taken the time to blog something.

Here we go..... since my latest film 'One' has been completed and entered into the film festival circuit I have been on the run. We are also in the finishing stages of completing the film's companion book "After the Question" and currently looking for a literary agent/publisher and/or a self publishing option. The bronze statue "Humanity" which was inspired during the making of One is also complete and waiting for its final public installation. These pieces of new creation are nearing their final days of launch and I'm very proud of the entire series of good things we have put into the universe. "One" had its world premiere in July of this year and then screened again and now again this fall. It can be downloaded on www.mypowerofone.com

In the midst of all this loveliness I was honored to make another film called 'Absent'. This film was written by a friend of mine, Sari Monaco and inspired by real life events. It went from idea to script to screen in under 120 days. We were immediately surrounded with contribution on all levels and now we take this narrative film to the festival circuit as well. Life in 'flow' works seamlessly.

The My Power of One brand has come to life and is waiting for a completed business plan to find its destiny. The brand has been calling my name for ten years since my homeless film premiered in 2005. I have completed the trademark work, the web site, and sold a number of shirts so far. It is meant to go far and wide. Our flagship store will open in 2015.

Completing projects opens up time and then the possibility of new ideas can enter that space. I do like to take a pause between creative endeavors and that is the stage I am entering. Traveling with films in festivals allows for networking and exchanging ideas with others. Winning a 2014 Telly award was icing on the cake!

In this life that I like to call a massive adventure, it's all good!!



until next time.

Humanity

I am so proud to announce the birth of "Humanity". Her conception/vision was approximately 9 months ago while I was on a run. Most amazing things show up in my creative world during my runs. In the midst of making my newest film "One" I visioned a statue that we would name "Humanity". I had no idea what she would look like but that didn't matter because it would be up to the sculptor to determine. I do not get in the way of creativity. I put an 'ask' out into my social network for a sculptor and got several names. I reached out to those and only 1 responded. Ultimately I found a sculptress within a 1/2 mile of where I live and posed the idea to her. She was hesitant at first but said if she didn't feel the project was for her she would give me some names of others. Within 24 hours she had started on the project. Apparently the project was for her and nine months later we have a bronze statue named "Humanity" On the top of the statue, while still in the clay stage I inscribed this quote "One touch forever connects us with Humanity". My vision was to permanently install this statue somewhere publicly. When I gave it more thought I decided that "Humanity" belonged in the center of the universe which for me is Mound City, Kansas where our farm is. I reached out to the Mayor of Mound City to see if this was an option. She totally loved the idea, but had to see what it looked like to get permission from the city council. In the meantime my sculptress Maidy Morhous got started. As I look back at our correspondence I see that we began the project together on September of 2013 and nine months later "Humanity" has arrived. Here is her picture with Maidy. We are proud!
