making a film...

This past year I began the journey of making a film with my dear friend William. We started performing together almost four years ago. Our curiosities include discovering the connections of baroque and folk music, the dance elements between them, and the magic it creates. Diving into the culture and traditions of the folk music that we love, exploring new ways of sharing this music with the world, this is what we hope to do with this film. Our latest adventure took us to Ireland, a place where traditional music comes from the mist that hovers above the ocean, the dew that sticks to the trees in the forest, and the dreams that dance around the stone walls of the castles. We literally drove through a hurricane to make a film of our journey. We brought a team with us from California, a couple of dear friends. When we arrived in Ireland we also met Jim, and crew to remember. A hero among men Jim is, I would say. His words will flow with me into this new year. I will share just a few of them with you. He would turn his head towards you, smile, and say: "Everything is possible, all of the time" Well Jim, we did manage to shoot over 100 hours of footage all over county Kerry, and play seven shows in two weeks.... what were we thinking!!! A lot of very short nights, but late night planning and early morning drives 'drove' us to make something really really beautiful. I'm so excited to share this with you. We will be launching a campaign soon to raise the money to finish it, because as you can imagine, this project is an expensive one. I really hope it will encourage and touch people young and old, for years to come.  Stay in touch. Be true to yourself.
