  1. a few days ago footage from the beatles sessions were published via the documentary ''The Beatles - Get Back''.

    caught on tape was the moment paul mccartney created a beatles classic, out of nowhere. 

     

    a few comments, although I guess not familiar with spirituality, intuitively recognize it for what it is:

     

    ''This scene has been on my mind a lot. If you heard the song before watching this and you weren’t aware this is when it was made, it sounds like he’s trying to remember it. Like some deep part of him already knew it, and he had to search and find it. That’s why so many artists say they “found” their art or the right piece, etc. It’s like great art is not something you create, you let it appear to you from within. With skill and playful experimentation you will it into reality, and it’s like it was already here waiting to be made. Magical stuff.''

     

    ''A few times in life you get to witness real, genuine, no-tricks magic. There’s no explanation for it. It’s organic. The person producing it isn’t trying to be clever. They simply do it in front of you. It’s clear and pure. This moment of creation is magic.''

    When your attention is fragmented into a thousand ways, how do you find something to focus on/to dedicate your life to/to master?

    I have this fear of missing out, the world is so interesting and fascinating that focusing on one aspect of life feels like I'm not experiencing everything I want to.

     

    And I know that that's my part to figure out but maybe you have a tip to push me in the right direction. Right now it's feels like I'm lost in this sea of possibilities.


  3. @Leo Gura Yes, that's true. Sometimes one can be too neurotic about wanting to force change in the world.

    I'm just asking myself: How does change in the world come about? Your approach is very direct, teaching concrete concepts and a clear vision.

    Documentaries can sometimes be more indirect. They cover a topic but don't explicitly say how to change a certain problem. Or maybe I can integrate this into my documentaries. Hmm, but there's only so much you can cover in ~90 minutes.

    Maybe I just have to follow my passion and thus results me making my greatest impact in the world. Like, I don't think I could be a purely academic person. But then again I really have this desire to make a change in the world, so I always question if the thing my heart wants really is the thing that'll make the greatest impact.

    yes, that's very true!

    What topics are you looking to focus on?  Are you in L.A?  Maybe we could work together.

    topic wise I don't think I would have a focus, dabbling in a lot of areas. important topics of society (racism e.g.) are definitely in there but maybe also pure artistic projects where I try to get my love for the universe on screen. 

    no I'm from germany, but if I ever pursue this and move there I will contact you ;) would love to move to LA, seems like a magical place in a way.

     

    is it hard as a filmmaker in LA, from your experience? are the projects you working on already meaningful to you or for now just something to pay the rent? my respect for following your passion, love that!


  5. hey guys, I'm currently thinking about making documentaries as my life purpose.

    I like the balance between art and academia there, you can teach valuable concepts in an artistic manner.

     

    I'm just always sceptical about the impact something has. No documentary has ever changed the world (without expections like earthlings which had an huge impact). But nether have a lot of books changed the world. 

     

    the reason I'm making this post: any of you interested in making documentaries or already pursuing that?
