Nor work-safe. "I have looked the devil in the eye." Yup. This teaser is published in pursuit of finishing funds to hire an editor & shoot some b-roll in the amount of $5K. See the rough, rough cut here: http://depressionstrategies.blogspot.com/2008/12/worlds-longest-open-love-letter.html

Previously unpublished excerpt from "The Faux Parade" which is a couple of pages of "The World's Longest Open Love Letter'.

Part II of what happens with the body.See showplayer HERE for the rough cut.

Show.Life = Work. The old iPod has returned in working order with a 30GB hard drive, new screen and battery. Less than $200. I love this tool. It helps me hear. Great to have it back in the arsenal. An audio portrait of two birds. A meditation on courtship and authority.

Sam Perry, artist.Spring Raulerson, artist.Jan McLaughlin, metaphrast.Bruce Weber, poet.We made the audio together for my meditation on the past.This is one of my all-time favorites of our collaborative works in Florida. You can see a wee bit of Arturo Rodriguez camera right and a bit of Demi, camera left.

You are what you consume.And that includes music and motion pictures as well as food.A simple plan: consume more of that which you wish to become.Take stock of what you've been consuming to know what you've unconsciously decided to become.Just a thought.

Revisiting some motion pictures that were at one point or another diverted to VHS.Thanks to Ms. Jen Simmons and an eyetv 250 Plus, I'm able to digitize and revisit that footage. It has an interesting if dated quality.This offers a director's commentary on three early motion pictures. Below links are to the original, unadulterated works:"Yoing" - written by Mikki LeMoine"Mommie's Coming Back" - written by Jan McLaughlin"The Psychic Poets Show" - written by Jan McLaughlinThe first two were originally shot on 35mm black & white stock - the same stock that Spielberg's 1993 "Schindler's List" was shot on. Our production performed pre-Schindler Beta tests for Kodak.The other - "Psychic Poets" - was shot to a Beta deck.Have lost touch with a lot of these people.No regrets.Realize I've been fascinated by advertising for a very long time.

Mission Statement.CAUTION: about a minute in there's a kinda s*xual image. You might want to close your eyes if you're feeling raw.I can usually pump out videos pretty darned quick. This one took a long time. It's not perfect. It feels dangerous.Based on previous experience, seeing how whiney and pathetic I am when in the throes of depression will eventually help me understand its mechanics better.I have a long-term documentary video project that I'm hoping this web site and the community that grows around it will help me finish. It's called "The World's Longest Open Love Letter" and was in its earliest states, a series of meditations on anger, then love, and now, on action. Creating the "Anger" painting opened me to the possibility that art could help me heal.Subscribers and visitors to this site as witnesses to the process of healing. Witnesses healed and grown by virtue of the gift of granting forgiveness to the innocent.Lots of books, plays & films have been released in the last few years on the subject of the sexual exploitation of children by adults. I've already collected them and will share links to all of them here.My "World's Longest Open Love Letter" project will be a day late and ten cents short, but the point is to make it. The point is the process of making it.Wish me luck.
