This is just a quick heads up that I’m going to be featured as a guest member on this month’s Spiritual Cinema Circle volume. Basically what that means is that you’ll get to hear me chat with Lisa Garr (radio show host) and Stephen Simon (Hollywood producter and co-founder of Spiritual Cinema Circle) about our thoughts on the movies.

I thoroughly enjoyed this set of movies, and found each of them to be rich in depth far beyond the obvious. The feature film, Broken Hill, has so much depth and metaphor that you’ll have to watch it several times just to catch the wisdom it has to share with you. The other two short films are delightful as well, so it’s no mystery this volume comes with my personal recommendations (I could have talked for hours with Stephen and Lisa!).

The wonderful thing is, if you’re not already a member then you can get the first DVD for free! (you just pay for shipping / handling).

And in case you’re curious what movies we discussed (and you can get for free), here’s what Spiritual Cinema Circle has to say about them…

Feature Film: Broken Hill

  

Tommy McAlpine (Luke Arnold) lives on a rocky, drought-ridden sheep station in the Australian Outback with his tough, taciturn father George (Timothy Hutton), a farmer and high school football coach. Tommy dreams of becoming a classical composer, but his father believes his son’s future is in the family farm. Will George ever hear the same music that Tommy does?

Short Film: Sweetener

  

This short film is set in a Chinese restaurant with silent, bored patrons and a sullen cook. The mood shifts when two new customers arrive and play a game of chess, improvising with sugar packets and condiments. Curiosity transforms into connection as the other diners get wrapped up in the game.

Short Film: Jeanine

  

Meet Jeanine, a 10-year-old who longs for ordinariness and order, but instead lives in a carefree, creative home with bohemian parents. “The problem is that I am a product of a laid-back education based on stuff like peace and love, flower power and all that stuff… What a load of rubbish,” laments the mortified French girl. Where does Jeanine fit in?
