Winter has returned to Deep England and FoolishPeople leave for Prague in 5 hours.
A strange mixture of emotions are floating within my mind, currents connected to new truths and old memories.
Life is a constant presentation of choices that increase in frequency and volume when engaged in Art/Magick.
I’ve been lucky, I’ve watched time and time again how these moments engage us in intense action, that in turn leads to rebirth in those who open their arms and embrace the surge of life/mind/body altering events, that pull you into a proactive existence that is far removed from the existence we’re expected to lead within the ’Modern World’.

Art and creativity offer us protection. Immunisation against mass produced memes of profit and commerce, born to terra form our individuality. Plowing our brains, creating fields where the only ideas that grow take from us rather than reward in the manner mythic endeavours do.
Ideas born of wonder and imagination have the power to drive you to truth, via a path that often travels via the dark corners of all that you are. Careful, you might just fall into the future you wanted to live, you know the one you dreamt, rather than the idea of who you were born to be that you inherited.
Imagination, when tended correctly is a coral reef of beautiful sharp numinous ideas that protect us with compassion, wit and a healthy dose of creative insanity that needs to flip open your mind and violently impale a mass produced future that screams in the words of profit over individuation.
Principal photography on ‘Strange Factories’ is about to start because of your imagination, support and faith in the dream of new forms of cinematic experience. A film fantastique that places you at the heart of a story of creative birth.
