For decades now, I’ve enjoyed working part-time as a professional actress. Film work in the south has been sparse, to say the least, but that all seems to be changing now. What really has me excited is that I’m learning about spiritual people who want to make films and television that can make a difference, impart consciousness with entertainment, and shift the terrain of the television and motion picture industry in a good and Sacred Way.
I recently auditioned for a pilot that will be filmed in Alabama. I got the role. It’s a great role but more important than that, it’s in a project from a filmmaker with spiritual vision. She wants to incorporate charity and real-life good works into the making of the pilot. I’m so excited by that. I’ll write more after the filming is complete and who knows, maybe I can even share some pictures by then. That would be great.
What we can all do as incredibly powerful audience members and ticket buyers is support spiritual films and films with a good message, and stop supporting anything that does not have vision behind it. Hollywood understands one thing….money. If we stop paying for creative works that do not feed the Spirit, they will stop making those types of films and tv programs.
I live fairly close to Atlanta, Georgia and there’s a fella there who is doing films with consciousness and passion, and Hollywood is taking notice.
His name is Tyler Perry and, by now, you probably have seen one or more of his Madea films. Although I still feel Tyler could move away from some lower-density laughs, his films as a whole are based on laughing at oneself and the silliness of humanity in general.
I’ve seen Tyler interviewed on TBN and was impressed when he said he didn’t care who knew of his faith. He would not hide it for Hollywood or for anyone else. And his success is paving the way for all the other filmmakers out there, and actors like me who want to use their talents for good.
We cast powerful votes by every movie or tv show we decide to watch. I choose to support the work of those who want to provide entertainment that is a gift, an uplifting experience. I choose those films that leave me feeling better about life and humanity than before I watched them. I choose those films that create humor based on life and absent of cruelty or debasement for a laugh. We are funny little beings and there is plenty in our own weirdness to laugh at, without sinking to humor based on what a person weighs or any other such nonsense.
