Last night a friend of mine asked me, “What it was like to write about my life story?”

In my past BLOG entries, I have come to you wearing the hat of a producer. Now I would like to introduce another role that I played in this production, as the writer of the story.

Writing my story was one of the most challenging and gratifying experiences in my development as a person and artist, moving me to a higher stage of enlightenment. It required me to confront my inner most truth and be vulnerable at work. Basing people in my life as characters, I had to detach myself from my nuclear family, and treat them as roles in a metaphysical world and understand their logic and illogical behavior.

As a writer telling a story, I needed to choose information I felt important to fit the setup of the plot. As a creator who loves all of its characters, I searched for their bases of conflict and began to feel overwhelmed by emotion. My eyes started to fill with tears, as I was able to empathize, feel compassion, and let go of my judgments. Now I can see the people in my life on a human level, for whom they really are. People who lacked a sense of authenticity, identity, and acted out their anger out a sense of helplessness.

In the process of making this film, I grew to understand the reality of my past, and forgive the people in my life in a more profound way then I could ever imagine. Bringing me to another level of conscious awareness, and liberating me in many ways. Now I can see the sun and why I was called to do this project, and now I am home.

As a creator of stories, I wish to direct my energy out into the world, to teach people the most valuable truth about life, humanity, and the world around them. My passion is to create works of art that have meaning and purpose and which provoke thought, make people ask questions, and showcase different angles on humanity and the laws of nature.

“An unexamined life is not worth living.” – Socrates -As someone introspective and constantly needing to ask questions about life, and who seeks true answers to those questions. I Have a desire to learn and challenging myself fearlessly to experience new things. I have reached a new awareness of the evolution of man; man is nothing but what he makes of himself.

Now as I embark on my next project with a unique concept. Having a revolutionary spirit, I turn to my creative artistic vision as a way of expressing my feelings about life and the reflection of the world around me. I translate it into the world of appearance and allow the mystery to work through me and the logic of colors, to photograph my vision in a story of the international human language and be captured in space in a timeless motion picture.

Dedicated to my mother, Maria Luisa Ferreira, who was born on this day, March 21.
