A BOOK TRAILER | 3m


I don’t make ads. Not really. But if I did this is what might happen. I made this for Gene. You might recognise him from the first Soul Portrait.  And I was struck by a single line;


‘everybody was an honor, everybody was a privilege to be with’


And the reason I’m playing it here is because this is how Gene is. Truly is. Everybody is an honor and a privilege to be with. And in this action he proves that a life time of ’seeking’ can transform a person.


I wonder how it feels for you to be with others?


The film is a book trailer. The book of this quiet & extraordinary journey [DETAILS HERE].

100 WORDS 1William Murtha asked me if I’d write 100 words for this book. And now it seems they sit alongside words from Neale Donald Walsch, Jane Goodall, Alice Walker & 196 others.

Here they are. In voice and written word. 121 words actually.

Perhaps follow the written word alongside my voice & guitar.

‘as the light makes its way’



A man had lived in his imagination.


Ever since he was a boy.


For it was full of wonder and adventure when set against
the outer world that housed his everyday life. Read more

A brief camera test for a new idea. To capture tunes as I imagine them. No rehearsal. No take two.


I wander the house playing like this much of the day. Most is lost to the ether.


HERE IS THE ‘100 WORDS’ ENTRY

FILM | ‘IS IT TRUE’ | 3m | STARRING BYRON KATIE


THEMES: NON JUDGEMENT | UNCERTAINTY | PEACE | CURIOSITY | CONSCIOUSNESS



Most of us believe the thoughts we hold about ourselves to be true. Without question.


Even though they diminish our capacity for life.


Few ever wonder if ’such thoughts’ are true.


Can you absolutely know that what you’ve chosen to believe about yourself is true?

iPhone and iPad app

iPhone app mock up 2

This is simply a first mock up of what such an app might look like.


Importantly, both an iPhone, and an iPad app is under development.


I imagine it to be the best, most personal way to experience the characters that make up Soul Biographies. And what they might provoke.


I expect it to be ready and in the App Store (without charge) by the end of summer.

SOUL PORTRAIT NUMBER ONE | 2m | STARRING GENE PASCUCCI



I had long wondered if I might capture someone with less. With less time. And with fewer words.


Less can be a challenge. More is so much easier.

The SOUL BIOGRAPHIES site has received a serious haircut.


There is now little to do but watch a film.


I think the simplicity of the site is suiting of its content.

TWO SOULS 1I’d like to ’shoot’ a bride & groom to be.


The week or two prior to their wedding. As a
commissioned film. To capture the feeling
and the possibility that exists
between two souls.


Then to share it with the world.


Anyone know of two appropriate souls?!
