Satori – A Zen Short Film
March 2010 – saw me move quickly into producing the Zen short film, Satori. After a very brief pre-production period, the film was shot in 1/1/2 days in Sydney.
Shot on location at Fagan Park in Galston & in Chinatown, the film has a Japanese visual aesthetic.
The film is structured like a Zen Koan and is the tale of a Monk, his Master, and the art of of non-attachment.
The film was shot on two cameras – the Canon 5D and Canon 7D.
Currently in post-production, the film is expected to be complete sometime in May.
More detailed production notes will follow in the next week or so 
Some production stills from the shoot can be seen below:

Finding the Opportunity Within Crisis
In 2009, as the resident filmmaker for Wake Up Sydney
I was blessed with the opportunity to film interviews with over 40 amazing inspired individuals. Some are thought leaders in Sydney, others were brilliant minds passing through our city.
We spoke to visionaries, Buddhist nuns, Zen teachers, journalists, ecologists, sustainability experts, spiritual teachers, change catalysts, eco-preneurs, green business leaders, activists, shamans, scientists, Tibetan Lamas, authors, Indian saints, peace advocates, academics… and the list goes on.
Needless to say, my mind and consciousness was opened by what they had to say about today’s relevant topics – and for myself, the whole process was like an initiation into a higher level of thinking.
I was inspired by their courage and integrity. By what they had created within their lives. By what they had done for other people and the world. And it got me thinking that I should be playing a much bigger game within my life – something which I hope to really embrace and focus on in 2010.
While we interviewed them on a huge range of topics, one theme which became amazingly clear for me, was how many of them saw the blessings in all the current global ‘crises’.
Everyday we are bombarded by all the doom and gloom in the media – and it’s hardly enough to inspire any of us to get out of bed in the morning.
But what if… amidst all the current ‘drama’ and ‘chaos’ and ‘crises’ lay the seeds for opportunity????
And so this is the theme which led to the creation of the following short documentary: Crisis/Opportunity.
It’s a short piece (under 7 mins) and feedback has shown that it sure packs a punch!
Feel free to pass the film on – these voices need to be heard.
And take a moment for reflection:
Where in your life have you encountered opportunity within crisis?
