Chateau in France, Villa in Spain

PARIS!
“Chateau in France, Villa in Spain”

The short film, “Chateau in France, Villa in Spain” is a story of dreams, realization of dreams and living the dream.

It starts, without our knowing. It starts with a thought. It may be a simple, sweet wish. It may be borne out of frustration. But never let it be born out of fear. However it starts, it starts with a seed of thought. That is how it started for me.

I was in the lowest point in my life. I had just divorced the love of my life. My financial adviser asked what my goal was. Wishful thinking as I always do, humorous as my way of assuaging my pain, this was the time when Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie just got together and had a chateau in France, Chateau Miravelle. Brad Pitt is an avid art collector. And prior to this, I dreamed and dreamed and dreamed that Brad Pitt would find me. I even dreamed that I would have a small guest house at the chateau where Brad Pitt, as my benefactor, would let me live and paint and paint. I am very visual so I clearly had that inside my soul for years.

Brad Pitt has not found me yet. But when the question was posed, I replied, “I want a Chateau in France and Villa in Spain!” I would tell this story through the years with Brad Pitt central to the story. And people would look at me like I am crazy or they look at me incredulous as to have such big dreams.

Now this dream has brought me to Paris…at the highest point of Paris, Montmartre! At sunrise no less! This dream has brought me and my art to Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Rome, Sofia, Bulgaria and Miami before…and soon to Peru and New York! This dream allows me to express my life in beautiful photo shoots, exciting filming of my philosophies and lifestyle! This dream lives inside me! It pulsates inside me. And I believe unwaveringly that this dream will continue to take me to unlimited possibilities! Brad Pitt in tow!

So dare to dream! Meditate on it! Pray! Eyes closed…in the dark, in the light! Breathe, cry if you have to! Because one of these days, one of these days, you, too, will have your Chateau in France, Villa in Spain just as where I am now!

It is interesting to note, that shortly prior to this writing Brad Pitt won the Best Supporting Actor Award for his role in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” in the 92nd Oscar Academy Awards. His first win!
