The Astral Woman is a short short I wrote. It's a dialog-less film that symbolizes a woman moving towards wholeness. It's a reinterpretation of the classic symbols of self realization that were mainly masculine figures, at least in our (European/American) history. The Astral Man or Cosmic Man is a figure symbolizing the joining together of the different aspects of a person into a complete and whole being sometimes represented as a hermaphrodite and sometimes as a masculine figure. In the case of the short, the person playing the Astral Woman is a dark skinned woman who has often been referred to as androgynous. She's a beautiful young lady and I think her appearance adds a new reference for the concepts of how a whole self can be represented.
This past weekend, I met with a woman named Luiza who works one day a week at my job. She's interested in producing or production managing and she's on board with the short short, to help move it along into and through production. Then I emailed everyone in preparation for the shoot, getting together the minute details that bring everything towards completion. We plan to shoot at the end of May.
I'm itching to have more work posted. I haven't created any new videos for some time now. Some time soon I want to shoot the test roll of Super8 that I have, to find out if this Super8 camera my friend lent me works, since he wasn't sure. I just need to get some more stuff out there, for my own piece of mind.
Anyway...yep.
