Puts you right back on the Playa >> Burning Man :: Release!

Post by choice » Mon Jan 18, 2016 8:30 am

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.

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.
