The Ra Truth: Star Presence!
Week of August 20-26

August 22, 2012 / Articles, Creator Corner, Star Presence, The Ra Truth

The weather had been great—a little too consistent, in fact. Things had gotten a little boring. Lots of sun, waves that were clear and perfect, a social life that reminded you of why you’d come to the warmer climes. To be honest, you’d gotten a little lazy. But just as you thought to yourself that you’d rather relax than finish that novel, came the phone call you’d been waiting for. The agent said, “Good news! We want the book. It’ll [...]

You thought it was going to be easier than this. The gearshift wasn’t working and you had to figure out why. It was stuck in Park when you had somewhere to be and you weren’t taking kindly to this delay. Maybe it was the heat—it was broiling, after all: 90 degrees with a lot of humidity—or maybe the damn thing just couldn’t take it. So after frantically trying to jerk it out of its seemingly frozen position and getting nowhere, [...]

It was only supposed to have been a brief cruise on the sailboat along the coast. The weather had been very pleasant all week and it was, after all, summer. Pleasure was to be expected. You didn’t count on the sudden storm that blew in from a freakish weather pattern, stirring up the waves and causing much havoc on the not-so-big-and-sturdy boat. The friend who had invited you for an afternoon sail had you tussling with the thick ropes and [...]

It was never really just a swing set. It sat amid the trees and beckoned to you all during your childhood. You learned about the sky from looking upwards as you swung. The seats were always coming apart—they tore easily and were only made of a hard fabric—and you might injure yourself if you went too far in your upward arc; but you liked to do it anyway, jumping off into the air and landing in the dirt before falling [...]

A walk in the woods is never a bad thing, as it calms the nerves and focuses the mind, but now it’s become a necessity. Shattering recent events have been such that you don’t simply want it, now you actually need it. So you put on your walking shoes and retreat into the solitude of the greenery. At first, you’re just glad to get away from the world’s tension; but the longer you persist, walking up the trail and into [...]

It was only supposed to be a peaceful protest. You had your principles and felt they were being stepped on, so you decided to go down to the demonstration (as the Stones would say) to get your fair share of abuse. You knew there would be others protesting against your perspectives, but you were sure you could handle yourself, and felt pretty prepared. Come the day, off you went and it was as disruptive and chaotic as you had envisioned. [...]

It was a fun idea, at least: whitewater rafting is not known to be stress-free, but it’s certainly exciting. Since you had never tried it, you said to yourself, “Now’s the time!” So you signed up for the trip, purchased your safety equipment, listened to a guide tell you what you were about to face, and plunged into the water. All went well for a while, and you were having a hellava great time, until your raft took on a [...]

It’s been stressful lately. Your job has been filled with pressure. The boss wants things you aren’t sure you can deliver…and you’d need to be retrained, anyway. Rather than have a heart attack on the spot, you decide to take a walk outside. So you stroll down to a nearby park, where you sit on a bench and watch the world go by. All the while you’re thinking about where you’ve come to in your life and wondering, “Where to [...]

It wasn’t expected, but last week, you found during a routine checkup that you had developed what the doctor called “a small abnormality of the heart.” It wasn’t enough to hospitalize you, just make you think the worst. It was suggested that you change your diet and monitor your stress, returning this week for further tests. Also, that you try to have faith in the process. OMG! Immediately, you started to worry. Everything you had worked for, all your personal [...]

You’ve got a date with destiny and now you’ve got to get there. So you decide to drive rather than take public transportation, because it’s faster and, besides, you like being in the mix of what’s happening on the streets. Well, you’re about to get your wish! You start out casually, taking care of some old business via headset, and pretty soon the traffic opens up and you’re cruising along with impunity. Or so you think. For out from the [...]

Adventures of a Film Scholar – Part III

June 12, 2012 / Adventures of a Film Scholar, Articles, Creator Corner

OK, so OXV: The Manual. This is a project that I’ll be talking a lot about in future posts. It’s an independent feature that I like to refer to not so much as a “vanity” project as a “sanity” project. (And I’m being deliberately obscure as to what OXV means). Those who know me know that I’ve made no secret of the fact that for various reasons I’ve been unhappy with my first two features. I make no excuses. The mistakes [...]

The river is swirling, a fog is drifting in, you’re in a canoe and attempting to navigate through increasingly rapid waters. You bump against sharp rocks, almost capsize, but right yourself and keep on going. Your vision seems blurry, but you gaze piercingly ahead, maneuver around the obstacles and come out to calmer waters…where you exhale and shake your head at how you managed this feat. And then you laugh and relax. That’s the energy pattern of this week. It’s [...]
