TEDxSanMigueldeAllende - Mark Vicente - BRAVE LOVE

Author, speaker, and award-winning director Mark Vicente was part of the creative team behind the sleeper hit "What The Bleep Do We Know?!" (¿¡Y tú qué sabes!?). Several books have been written about the film's remarkable grassroots marketing campaign, which led to its unprecedented success.

Mark was born in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1965. His first big break came as Director of Photography on the musical "Sarafina," starring Whoopi Goldberg. In 1992, he set his sights on Hollywood and shot his first studio picture for Disney entitled "Fatherhood," starring Patrick Swayze and Halle Berry. At the age of 26, he became one of the youngest cinematographers to shoot a big budget studio picture. Over the next 10 years, he went on to shoot an additional 14 feature films. At present, Mark is Executive Producer and Writer of the upcoming feature film "Bending Time", a sci-fi spy thriller and is slated to direct the political drama "Carbon Crimes" in 2011.

Deeply moved by the unprecedented violence, taking place in Mexico, and perhaps because of the very obvious iniquities in his native South Africa -- Mark is currently in post production on Incendiar el Corazón , a film about non-violent protest movements who have been deeply affected by the fear of kidnapping, robbery and gang violence. This has taken Mark and his team from the lives of the wealthy... to the slums of Mexico... to the police struggling with violence... to kidnappers serving life terms in prison. All in an effort to understand this struggle from a humanitarian perspective rather the never-ending cycle of blaming others. What is the cause of un-ethical, anti-humanitarian behavior? And what internal changes would we need to make to change our world?

More on Keith Raniere, leader of NXIVM, and Mark Vicente's mentor posted at saratogaindecline.blogspot.com­: "I am disheartened and thoroughly disgusted by the cowardly, irresponsible actions of the Times-Union. By burying the information that they have about Raniere's alleged history of sexually abusing women and underage girls, they are 100% complicit in his crimes, and they will be, in large part, responsible for any future victims' suffering."

Brilliant call for more feeling and conscience. The film looks so powerful and timely. To non-violence in words and actions. Thank you.

Mark, how can you promote Keith Raniere as your mentor and ethical role model, a man whom former girlfriend Toni Natalie described as a rapist and a sociopath, who he harassed for over eight years through the court system and blamed for the suicide of her son?

A man who dubs himself Vanguard, aka Keith Raniere, is Mark Vicente's mentor. Read more about this cult leader at saratogaindecline.blogspot.com­. Find out how he likes to harass and sue people through his front women because he's a liar, compulsive gambler, and sex addict. He created an MLM scheme of people that sell ethics and classes on human potential (like Mark), and created a false image of himself as an ethical leader for money and sex.
