I'LL GET BACK TO BUSINESS SOON, but in the meantime, I introduce
The Callow Gang
This is an unusual commercial post. But please
stay with me and make it viral, proving what we already know......yes, social
and commercial networking has the capacity “close” the world down for some
addicts, but it can also open it up for the right reasons. And I reckon that
this is one of those right reasons. Art is what makes us human.
Last week I was held captive(ated), on a sub-tropical island
near Brisbane, by Ned and Dan Callow (aka Beverley and Cath). Believe it or not,
these two extraordinary ladies are not related, other than in spirit. Thank you
both for letting me see ordinary things through your extra-ordinary film-making
eyes. And thank you both for sharing a moment in my life, which only you two
could understand.
I recently met Beverley in different cities through almost
cosmic (though certainly cyber) circumstances, and we have become firm, unique friends.
Laughing uproariously, loudly and often with someone cannot be a bad thing. Now
and then, even intellect enters the field of peripheral vision, but neither of
us blames the other too much for that.
Now Beverley, and her talented artistic and technical crew
are making a movie. She has made many short films and in fact has one showing
in 70 countries around the world at present. Please read the “Bios” in the attached links –
you’ll be amazed at the professionalism of those involved.
“The Salt Maiden” is being made on Coochiemudlo Island, a
minor miracle five minutes by water taxi from Victoria Point, Brisbane, yet
paced differently by an order of magnitude.
So, check out the links to my other sites and those to “The
Salt Maiden” (where there is a “teaser” of the movie itself, Beverley’s
Facebook, Cath’s blog, and the sponsor site, or just contact me to ask how you can help these very special and
dedicated people. It’s so refreshing to meet people of passion. I know that
times are tough. I appreciate that there are worthy charities seriously
competing for sponsorship. And please help them. But also help yourself!
Art is the soul of our society, and to see this film when
it’s completed will raise your spirits, knowing that you have helped by being
part of something that has made us human since drawings were made on caves!
Please help.
