The Colour Blue [2009]

This is an updated and remastered version of a film I made in April 2007 with nothing more than a cheap webcam, a black eyeliner pencil and tea towels.

All scenes are improvised without script. Each character was born one after the other, and developed only after changing makeup. The story unfolds the same way.

At this time in the Earth's history, we truly live in important and interesting times. There is great consequence and urgency to our actions. Our decisions and actions will be remembered for generations to come. What we do today affects tomorrow. We are pushing the earth to its limits literally, in population, resources, and it's capacity to sustain human life. At this time in our evolution, it is being revealed in many ways that we are all connected. One people, one planet. The Native Americans have a beautiful philosophy regarding action, when you take action you should contemplate it's effect on the next seven generations.

This film is dedicated to those of you who inspired me to create my own digital home here. It's been an amazing journey so far and I look forward to continuing the adventure. Many Thanks. xx

I will echo GreatGig1's comment from two years ago that you are the "Mistress of all Things." I love this video.

I hate YT more and more everyday!! I didn't know about this!! :-(

This is a wonderful update of pure brilliance! The title of "Mistress of all Things" still stands!!! :-) xoxoxoxo

I never saw this one either. You do an amazing job with your characters. And what a powerful message.

That there's music...

Thanks Jason- improvisation is so much easier (for me) than doing something scripted. Apparently writing scripts is beyond me as well as that's what I'm meant to be doing right now for school and here I am on YT! LOL

I never saw this before. This is really fantastic.

I can't believe you were just winging it. That's really together. Creativity can overcome so many limitiations. Once again. Phenomenally inspiring work.
