FILM
combines all the arts:
storytelling, drama, composition, music, photography and more
- plus film has it's own unique aspects such as editing, pacing and juxtoposition.

The experience of watching a film involves us as an audience on multi-sensory and emotional levels, making it one of the only areas in modern life where we actually give 100% of our attention to something for more than a few minutes at a time. As a device for both social awareness and propaganda, the powerful moving image has no match when it comes to affecting the human heart and influencing a nation.
I like film, movies, videos, etc., for all these reasons - and the challenge of making them. It is a multi-disciplinary art on many levels - not just artistic and technological, but with our own lives and the deeper aspects of our psyches.
METAPHYSICAL FILM SCHOOL:
for Filmmkers, Writers, Actors and You
Soon this website will describe the key aspects of film and storytelling from a mythological and psychological perspective:
• The Hero's Journey and how it relates to film, screenwriting and storytelling - and life.
• Archetypes:
what they are and what they tell us about characters - and ourselves.
• Transformation: most all stories and movies involve an inner need as well as an outer goal - as do we. |
With years as a film student, a filmmaker and as a film teacher, along with my knowledge of psychology and metaphysics, I have gained insights and discoveries that I want to share with anyone who has acts, makes film, or just wants a deeper experience of the movies and what they can tell us about ourselves. Most every popular movie or acclaimed film follow these principles.
