Leah & the Horse

Here is a film I helped my friend Enid Chasanoff put together. She is a wonderful artist who created these evocative soft sculptures, then photographed them along a storyline that she eventually narrated. I assembled it in iMovie, then added improvised music by These Are Not My Hands, a group I am a part of. Happy to say it was selected for inclusion in the 2010 New York Short Film Festival.

Enid passed away Saturday at the age of 84. She was ready to go, and so she went. I'm grateful for our collaboration and our friendship. From her I learned that creativity, beauty and the Human Spirit are ageless. Please take a moment to revel in the magnificent mystery that is Life.

What a creative way to get ready for her death.

I did some art with Enid and will miss her.

thank you so much for this film. It was lovely and made me cry. My mother-in-law, Ellen, gave us the link for it.

What an amazing artist, very touching and well done. I read an article about this film in the Marinscope and loved her line "I see beauty and potential. I see what things should become instead of what they are"

I much prefer death to be in the form of a gentle black horse than a skeleton in a black hood. This is a beautiful film.

Quite a wonderful work of art. I enjoyed it very much.

This is so very warm and wonderful. I've watched it several times. It takes me to memories of my Mom & Dad. I was with her when she heard his call.

Thanks to all involved in this sweet piece.
