summary

vision 1
In the project entitled 'Journey of a multicultural nation', the audience is taken on an inspirational journey that leaves them with a feeling of appreciation for life on many different levels. The heart of the documentary is based on remembering the journey of how canada became a multicultural nation, in which many of us share a common story of ancestors who were in pursuit of new beginnings, freedom and opportunity. Arriving in these lands, and having built a nation among beautiful natural landscape, we are now at a point where the heritage and culture of aboriginal people is an important legacy to be remembered, understood and appreciated as the essence of not only Canada, but among the world.

vision 2
In the project entitled 'Cultures of the world, united', the audience is taken on an inspirational journey that leaves them with a feeling of appreciation for life on many different levels.
The heart of the documentary is a symbolic following of the torch, the spirit of the flame that is journeyed during a year of the games. In Canada, we welcome the world to a legacy of our lands, the heritage and culture of aboriginal people whose culture holds ‘reverence for plants as sacred’ while profound respect is held for living in harmony with nature, respecting elders and their community, and valuing celebrations of life through ceremonies. As we celebrate the spirit of the torch and the symbolic journey of respecting cultures from around the globe, we unite the human spirit through a world that celebrates diversity.

Synopsis

This piece is a project that has been creatively brought together through being engaged in the community, filming cultural events and speaking with people that are involved in the concepts that have been developed. I have made connections for interviews and I have many hours of b-roll footage from events that I have been continually filming since I moved to Vancouver in January 2009. I have been following the journey of the olympic spirit as we get ready to welcome the world.

There are two parts of 'script visions' I have written as well as a treatment plan for an artistic vision.
I am interested in collaborating on 1, 2 or 3 of the script visions, and the concepts can be played with to suit our timeframe, collaborative vision and budgets. To focus in on one project, I propose we focus on one of the stories, along with the treatment plan of the creative opening.

The basis of one of the scripts is that Canada is a multicultural nation, home to people from all over the world. Remembering that we share a common story through the journey of our ancestors; people from diverse cultures who pursued new beginnings, freedom and opportunity, we can live with fuller appreciation for where we are today.
As we remember the journey of our ancestors it becomes essential to respect the remembrance that these lands were thrived upon by native peoples who lived in harmony with nature. Rather than a new world, these lands were full of tribes that were rich and varied in culture; communities that thrived off the lands, using what they needed, but always giving back what they took. It is important for us, and for the world to now remember the legacies of aboriginal people. In Canada, and through out the world.

For the second story, the basis is that through an event such as the olympics, or Fifa world cup, nations among the world come together to share in an experience. This experience is based upon the fact that people of the world can unite through common cultures such as sport and the arts. With an event such as the games, the symbolic journey of the torch offers an opportunity to respect the heritage and culture of all peoples. We receive the flame from Beijing, china, and in doing so we can reflect on the inspirational aspects of Chinese culture: ‘unity’ respect for families, health of natural medicine and celebrating festivities such as the Chinese new year.

In Canada, we welcome the world to a legacy of our lands, the heritage and culture of aboriginal people. As we celebrate the spirit of the torch and the symbolic journey of respecting cultures from around the globe, we unite the human spirit through a world that celebrates diversity.

For the approach of the project of vision 2,
I would choose to focus in on one of the two previous scripts, which would be an artistic film with intriguing interviews. Part of the film would be able to use some footage that is already filmed from events that I have attended, as well as filming from locations around Vancouver. The story will be furthered through interviews with various contacts, such as a gold medalist from Beijing, Jake Weitzel, who is native to Vancouver. With this interview I would direct questions for the connection of the flame coming from Beijing, to Vancouver Canada, and what it means to for him to bring that spirit here. I would also interview myself, as I have moved out west as a creative filmmaker who wanted to find the stories that could be shared through the games. I followed my dreams and found myself on a much larger journey, exploring stories that delve into the spirit of humanity, the essence of who we are. In this, the stories I have been inspired to create, are stories that reach the world. Reflecting on the spirit of the flame, and appreciating each place that the torch passes through is a revolutionary understanding for remembering aboriginal culture from all over the world. After the games of vancouver 2010, I aim to continue this project in South Africa during the Fifa 'games'. In this I will be remembering African culture as the spirit of the flame continues. This story can be brought into this current project if we so choose.

The third concept is the written, creative treatment plan for a video with music and voice over which is a leading opening to either of the 'vision scripts'. It is an artistic visual piece that shares a journey of a girl walking on modern day streets who comes to learn the heritage of aboriginal people. The spirit of aboriginal culture is shared among whispers such as 'every landscape carries with it a story to be remembered'.
My vision is to create this treatment plan, and then create the artistic documentary for sharing the symbolic journey of 'journey of a multicultural nation/and or/'the spirit of the flame: cultures of the world, united'.

This project would be a piece that would touch the lives of all Canadians, and anyone from the world who would be able to come across the film. It is an inspirational project that offers remembrance for our heritage while also remembering the journey of all cultures that pursue new beginnings, freedom and opportunity. Coming together, now that the world is connected through travels and technology, we live among a world that celebrates cultural diversity.

Multicultural World : versions of a filmmaking vision

Welcome to our Multicultural World

through travel and technologies
(nic. airport shot)

we have the ability to move beyond divisions, beyond borders,… we are at a point in history where people from all walks of life are able to come together to celebrate what it means to be part of the human spirit

(lantern festival of orange sky)
and fireworks

we live in a world of diverse cultures
through travel and technologies
we have the ability to experience cultures from around the globe

(images of greece/nic., from airplane/sky)

recognizing and respecting the histories and heritage that each culture has endured, we can respect each tradition as we make the effort to learn about the world around us and take part in celebrating festivals of cultural diversity

(canada day, drummers, afrika drummers)
at library shots/


(As we take part in celebrating culture,)

people of the world unite through our abilities to play sport, share art, move to music and experience ethnic cuisine....
because the world is now connected,
we have the ability to experience the energy of the human spirit
being united through culture

==interview with JL
==Celebration of Culture: United in Spirit

what does it mean...
an experience where people come together
through a common interest, in which emotion and energy can be shared, and radiated among eachother.
where those involved can feel the VIBES of what the shared event is all about.

whether it be a festival, concert, sporting event
the olympic games is an event in which we have the ability to experience being 'united in spirit'

---girl athlete speaking, about the vibes

The modern olympic games was born out of the vision of ___, a man who recognized olympics as an opportunity for the world to come together in peace

---carver, athlete, story to be told/opportunity to share legacy

+
with an event such as the olympic games,
the spirit of diverse culture is shared through the symbolic journey of the olympic torch
with Vancity, BC, Canada welcoming the world,
we receive the flame from Beijing, China, and in doing so we can reflect on the inspirational aspects of chinese culture,
'unity, respect for families, health of natural medicine and celebrating the festivities of the chinese new year. :)

in Canada, we welcome the world to the legacy of our lands,
the heritage and culture of aboriginal people,
'people who lived in harmony with nature, with respect for elders and their community, and who value the celebrations of life through ceremonies
(in summer of 2010,
the spirit of being united in culture goes to the fifa world cup in afrika, where indig. peoples also celebrate life through drumming, dancing, living in nature)

Today, this land has become Canada, a multicultural nation in which we are a country of people from all over the world..
(currently ---stats)

There are many stories to be shared, but we share a common story of embracing the dream of opportunity.
Leaving populated cities, people used the abilities of travel to journey to what was considered a new world.

Here we are, welcoming the world to bc, canada, a place of rich heritage, beautiful environment where natural ecosystems thrive among this landscape.... a hub of physical activity, arts and culture.

welcome to the west coast, where people of the world can celebrate culture, art and sport, appreciating the experience of the human spirit, united.

It is surely lovely to have people that are so very aware/in tune/ exploring these plants abilities to effect our 'PERCEPTIONS OF REALITY', as this truly is our times of joining together through expanding each of ours, and our collective consciousness/experience/perceptions of reality and REMEMBERING FULLY, fully heartedly, WHO WE ARE,---developing---using our innate abilities of INTUITIVE soul-based living, intuition, sensing, listening for lives of 'heart knowing', and guiding ourselves through a life of inspiration, potential, PASSION--sharing ourselves for the benefit/contributions of humanity

BE IN THE MOMENT IN THANKFULNESS/GRATITUDE, for these moments are all the gift of life.... LET YOURSELF IMMERSE IN THE MOMENTS AS YOUR ON YOUR JOURNEY, let calmness of serenity be your energy when you are exploring, let joyful upbursts be the fuel that energizes your soul, and your creative mind, let open heart and open mind be your vehicle for being a creative source of INSPIRATION, guidance, loving hand that guides your journey...

I wake up and commune,
I calm my spirits, my mind and heart are one as our wholeness/serenity of LOVELIGHT

I breathe in joy, peace, happiness
and i share all of this with all who i am surrounded by, all whom i meet, and my radiance radiates throughout-to all --this is our vibrational field, of Love and Light,...this is our Home, in peacefullness, shared LOVE

thanks! my creations unfold into potentials--into shared interactions--into realities-- experiences shared as understandings and celebrations of who we are among DIVERSITY AND IDENTITIES.. Love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
++++++++
ranging beautifully through indigenous heritage, recognizing the beauty of revelationists messages-and how they unite through 'unity in diveristy', such as vedic philosophy and arevedic medicine...we recognize plants as opportunities/tools/gifts to explore/understand and create who we are/who we can be and who we choose to be--consciously
through recognizing and valuing that we are ONE, we are connected on this planet (with the soil, water -7 layers ..etc)......we recognize our transformations of experience through our history and technological advancements, how this has, through out our existence- effected our PERCEPTIONS, our beliefs, our experiences, our accepting of other cultural traditions----
has affected our ways of life---now having been lead to where we are -CONNECTED- able to share our existences with eachother/our traditions/our philosophies/ and that we now understand ourselves as ENERGY/CREATORS in that which we experience -and choose to dream of-become
how music is so powerful in influencing our energy/our outlooks/ our IDENTITIES...
-our cultures that we identify ourselves with allows us to express aspects of who we are and that which we enjoy/choose to take part in
yet we can all unite in common celebrations of appreciating the diversity
-careers allow us to unite in cultures/ recognizing business as systems-contribute to prosperity
LOVE

============================================

for INTO UNDERSTANDING
-general explanation to hand it to someone that isnt into that llifestlye --approach people that dont understand the culture: do yo have a biased opinion
(when targeting the people that smoke- your getting points across but not changing that much,
but if i am reaching people --can change their opinion or get them thinking why they think that way -if i leave a general label- they can take into consideration)
*****showing the video at parties,... -can have pauses in the video to say something - offer times for discussion- show pictures -explain story- get them involved-get them engaged (sometimes they'll zone out-talk to friends) -if you get the people involved they can be more attentive


Yehaaaawww.
