‘SMILE’  | 6m | STARRING OLUBUNMI OGUNYANKIN (OLU)

---

THEMES: JOY | BEAUTY | LAUGHTER | HAPPINESS

---

---

We have a need for certainty. So we presume that we know. That we control. That we’re in control.

---

But perhaps it’s our assumption that we’ll be here tomorrow that keeps us from our capacity to live.

---

And from our capacity to smile without reason.

FILM | ‘THE RIDDLE OF HERE’  | 7m | STARRING CHARANANAND

---

---

We’re looking. For something so simple.

---

So simple, that we can’t hold it in our hands. Or in our heads.

---

So we look to him. To her. To them. To there.

---

We look to everywhere but here.

---

To when. To then. But not to now.

---

It’s hidden just beyond our cleverness.

---

So we presume it’s out there.

---

But perhaps it’s in here.

‘LIGHTER, OR DARKER’ | 3 MINUTES

---

‘each encounter holds the capacity to render us lighter, or to colour
the experience of our world darker’

-

‘lighter, or darker’ opened the GATE Conference (Global Alliance for Transformational Entertainment) in LA at Fox Studios, June 2009.

I’d been given the challenge of just 3 minutes in which to approach the possibilities for the media industry. This version is the non media version. You can see the media industry version HERE.

It was screened to more than 500 influential players in the media & entertainment industry, who are keen to explore how they can change the very nature of media & entertainment output. 1,500 couldn’t get tickets for the event. It started a movement.

THE SHORT WORDS SERIES & THE EXPERIENCE OF OUR LIVES

---

In one sense, the Short Words Series is poetry. The distillation of a great deal into few words. Provocative, and often graphic. Written to provoke the reader to notice
the experience of life of their own life.

---

Each about five to ten sentences long. Many brought to life in audio and/or film.
