“The most attention I get is in a book store or video shop when I go to the foreign film section. Sometimes that can be fun, but usually those women want to talk about philosophy or something very dense.

“I was doing great plays. It wasn't changing the world. I was getting good agents and doing film and TV and I wasn't happier. I was like "Wow, there is an unease inside of me." And that led me back on my kind of more spiritual path to the Baha'i faith in a new and fresher way and I came to also understand at that point that there was no difference between being devout and being an artist. There is no difference between creativity and spirituality and philosophy and that is what Soul Pancake, the book, and SoulPancake.com are about is: it's all about human expression and it's about seeking to transcend.” WorldWayHumansKindBookSoulPhilosophyPlayFilmSpiritualArtistSpiritualityDifferencesCreativityPathExpressionTvsSeekingAgentsChanging The WorldWowSpiritual PathBeing An ArtistPancakesBahaBaha I Author:Rainn Wilson
“In my mind, martial arts movies are martial arts movies and action is action. It's quite different, because martial arts doesn't just have physical form; you have a philosophy, internal and external. A lot of it involves your life. How you see the world.

“The day you shoot something, everything changes. You still have the same overall vision and approach. You create a world that you're going to be true to or the film tells you what you're going to do. And so, it's like you've got a philosophy of what you're doing. You try and have that changing texturally over the movie.” WorldTryingStillsPhilosophyFilmVisionLike YouApproachBeing TrueThings ChangeDoing You Author:Fred Schepisi
“I really like Jason Blum a lot. We're friends, and while we make wildly disparate films, we share a philosophy about low-budget filmmaking, about taking chances on young filmmaking, taking risks and obliterating our salary so we can make something cheaply and if it wins everyone wins big.” IfsPhilosophyBigsFilmYoungWinningChanceRiskShareLowsBudgetsFilmmakingSalaryTake A ChanceJasonTaking Risks Author:Mark Duplass
“The film festival is in a town in Arkansas, a quintessentially American town with a little town square. It's to champion women and diversity in all media, so TV, movies, eventually, digital, whatever you get into. That's the goal. We're using the same philosophy as my institute, which is to make it research-based and really try to work directly with filmmakers and content creators and move the needle. It's the only film festival in the world where the prizes are guaranteed distribution.” WorldTryingLittlesPhilosophyFilmMovingGoalMediaTvsDiversityResearchTownsCreatorChampionFilmmakerDigitalPrizeSquaresDistributionFestivalsNeedlesInstituteArkansasFilm FestivalsLittle Towns Author:Geena Davis
