12:00 pm INSPIRATION and a COMEDY/DRAMA!
Under the Sun
19:20 The movie is a visual stimulation raising unique human qualities - compassion, empathy, trust, spirituality, unconditional love, and forgiveness. There is no difference between religion or those that practice them - we are all one, praising divine love. The hunter and the prey all belong of the cycle of life. Compassion leads them to oneness, erasing duality. All art forms - music, paintings, poetry, mathematics, and dance - glorify the beauty of creation. Human relationships come in turbulent waves but dissolve into an ocean of forgiveness. The mother and child form an unbreakable bond of unconditional trust and affection. |
Camino UnReal
1:24:00 Shot in three days on just a $25k budget, "Camino Unreal" is the story of a middle-aged cowboy poet from Las Vegas, New Mexico, driving to a gig in Durango, Colorado, on the day of his divorce. Along the way, he picks up his old pal and they discuss success, love, and life’s minor irritations. The story includes elements of magical realism and loosely follows Dante’s “Purgatorio” while still incorporating some dumb observational humor. |
