Good Life Advice From a 6 Year Old Is Even Better When Taken Literally

With college graduation looming in her near future, Bianca Giaever, a filmmaker and radio producer, turned to six-year-old Asa Baker-Rouse for some perspective. As it turned out, young Asa had a good idea for a movie and some pretty compelling insights too.

So proud of these guys. Been watching this labor of love project (slowly) evolve over the past four plus years. Stoked that it’s getting close to finished!

ftomfilm:

Today, I am so incredibly proud to debut the film’s official trailer! 

Many of you reading this were instrumental in FOR THOUSANDS OF MILES reaching this stage of production, and, I hope, that you share in this exciting moment; making a film is a collaborative effort, and I couldn’t have made it this far without your support. 

I hope you enjoy the trailer. I hope you find it inspiring and moving. I hope it helps fill in the details of what exactly this film is, and why this project has been such an important project for me personally. 

Today, we are also taking pre-orders for the film through our Kickstarter campaign. This campaign will not only 100% complete the film, but it will keep the film 100% independent!

Helping us release the film late-Spring of 2013.

One last special announcement! FOR THOUSANDS OF MILES will feature an original score by the amazingly-talented Eluvium! Eluvium has been our one-and-only choice for the film’s composer during the last few years of post-production, and to now be working with him on what is quickly becoming a beautiful-beautiful score, is a dream come true. You can pre-order the film’s original score on Kickstarter as well. 

Please pass along this trailer and let your friends know about the project.

Thank you!

“ I knew I was in trouble the moment I saw the MGM logo move even before the first frame of the film was ever projected. And then I proceeded to spend the first 30 minutes of the film trying to figure out how to describe the “Monday Night Football” viewing experience that was so clearly not cinematic to me… The Hobbit: An Unexpected Masterclass in Why HFR fails, and a reaffirmation of what makes cinema magical « Vincent Laforet’s Blog

sciencesoup: The Illusion of Separation “A human being is a part of the whole called by us ‘the universe,’ a part limited in time and space,” wrote Einstein in 1950. “He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest—a kind of optical illusion of consciousness.” It’s a brilliant and fascinating perspective, and science tells us that it’s true. Our eyes inform us that there is a definite boundary between us and the world around us, and so we perceive ourselves as entities separate to the wider universe—as individuals just making our home in this vast place. But when we take a step back, we can see that we’re molecular machines built from a specific arrangements of atoms—atoms that existed before we were born and will continue to exist after we die. They were recycled from the dust of dead stars, and we’re only their temporary custodians. Fundamentally, each of us is just a tiny individual expression of an enormous singular entity—so we are the universe perceiving and studying itself. The idea that the individual and the universe are inseparable is a humbling, counter-intuitive and ultimately awe-inspiring idea—there’s a mad kind of beauty in knowing that we do not live in the universe, but rather we are the universe. As Feynman wrote: “I…a universe of atoms…an atom in the universe.”
