James Weeks, Producer Across The King's River
The more I travel on this journey as filmmaker and spiritual seeker, the more I firmly believe in the power of simplicity and “basic moves” – simple practices/daily rituals, or attitudes that enhance the probability of our success. I strongly believe that we must uproot negativity wherever we find it – in our hearts, our minds – or from the mouths or minds of those that wish us ill – and even those that wish us well.
As I gathered the courage to begin working on my film years ago, my Mom said “Who would be interested in a film like that?” Though in her heart she might have been trying to protect me from the possibility of failure, she was also hampering my growth. All praise to the ancestors that I refused to listen.
The inner voice – pay attention to that voice. This is the voice that will bring you new life, opportunities, the ability to thrive when so many around you are unknowingly dead.
