hi -
I've got something really fun to share with you.
At Burning Man 2014: Caravansary I experienced an incredibly powerful moment -- after the burn a few of us sat in a circle on the Playa and shared the most difficult things that had happened in our lives. As we did so I felt my pain release into the native American Indian sacred land and disappear. I still feel that moment to this day.
Being a filmmaker, I then thought, how can I capture the feeling of that release in a movie and share that with everyone else?
And then I went and did just that.
So... welcome... finally to the release of "Burning Man :: Release!" I created the movie as a kind of 15 minute consciousness raising meditation and it even begins with a meditation bell to get you in the right frame of mind. It took me about a year to finish it because I wanted to get it just right -- especially the slightly altered state you get while watching it and the emotional feeling of emotional "release" at the end.

Enjoy!

p.s. if you like the movie and can think of a way to get it out to a wider audience, please do get in touch on the board. Thanks.

When the only tool you got is a hammer, every problem looks like a hippie.
