Did a cordial dance
the last two days with
Frederic Bohbot
of Bunbury Films
Montreal.

He documented the
Historic Tiferet Institutes
Kabbalah for the Masses
Conference at the
Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego
December 18-19.

I was creating a record of the conference
for Rabbi Yakov Travis with my Olympus 5050.

I wanted to be sensitive to Frederic's
camera work and did my best to
move around in ways that did not
cross his lens too often.

He took some footage of
the Plant Your Dream work
I did at the closing of the event.

Exploring his website now,
I get that BINGO feeling
that comes when I strike Gold.

Take a look at one of the film offerings
from Bunbury Films:

I can really relate this this.
My sister Vivian had four children.
The eldest is married into an Ultra-Hasiddic
branch.

I Blogged on that here:

I feel drawn to this Video made

Leaving the Fold
 
 - In development with Radio Canada

"Leaving the Fold" is a documentary film about young Hassidic or ultra-Orthodox Jews in Montreal, New York and Israel who can no longer tolerate living in the world in which they were born. They are prepared to turn their backs on their relationships with their parents, their siblings and their sheltered community to make their way into secular society. "Leaving the Fold" will follow the lives of several young Hassids, both male and female, 18 to 23 years old as they try to free themselves from a most colourful yet repressed community, to enter our baffling world of endless choices. This is a film about spiritual journeys in the opposite direction, from the constraints and the strange beauty of religious fundamentalism to the uncertainties of personal freedom.
Director: Eric Scott
Produced by: Bunbury Films & Ontic Media
