Why do so many creative people work with great intensity and then crash? Filmmaker Mark Moskowitz of Point of View Productions, delves into this subject in his film Stone Reader.
As an 18 year old, the filmmaker began reading the book “The Stones of Summer.” Despite wonderful reviews, he couldn’t get beyond the beginning. As a mature adult, he returned to the book , and was hooked; struck by what a extraordinarily talented writer Dow Mossman was.
Moskowitz was so enthralled with the book that he wanted to find out everything about the author, Dow Mossman that he could. The authors voice meant as much to him as the storyline. While trying to locate Mossman he found that like many other authors of great American novels, such as Harper Lee, J.D. Salinger, Ralph Ellison, Poe and Margaret Mitchell, Mossman’s book was highly touted for a first time publishing attempt yet disappeared from literary scene with hardly a trace.
“How can this be, with an author as talented as that?” filmmaker Moskowitz asks. He attempts to find answers to this question and tries to make sense of the world of publishing in the production of his film ”Stone Reader.” It takes an in depth look at books that are first rate, loved and then the author vanishes.
“Stone Reader” is an excellent film for discussion for book clubs, writers groups, bibliophiles, college writing programs or writers workshops. Moskowitz made an important contribution in producing this film, The Stones of Summer is no longer out of print! Barnes and Noble is now selling this book.
Check your local library for this wonderful film. It captivated me, and now I want to read “The Stones of Summer” which has been said to be “a book that will change lives.”

This winter, a new quarterly art magazine, independently published, was launched. It is called Artists on Art. Although it is not supported through ad space, it is available digitally and by PDF download at a very fair price. Not only is the magazine published in a “green” format, sparing a lot of trees, it is an interactive magazine with step by step guides to painting techniques; a way for art students and connoisseurs of fine art to connect with master painters.
Each issue contains fulfilling articles, written by artists, sharing ideas, philosophy and knowledge that can be read on mobile phones and touch screen devices such as the iPad and on personal computers, too. As the magazine continues to issue new content, archived issues will be available to download for a small additional price.
To explore and discover why this innovative idea in magazine publishing gives a leading edge to artists, because of it’s interactive qualities, visit this website and watch the video designed to help you to decide whether or to subscribe or not. http://bit.ly/HBnq6k.

Tis the Season! Tax season, that is. April 15th is getting nearer with each passing day. It is March 30th and I am in good shape; my income taxes have been filed, and now I can relax and take in a movie or two. On this Film Friday, I’ve uncovered top films with fulfilling themes of financial lessons. Some are from the “independents” and some not, Here they are:
- Glengary Glen Ross – A drama about four real estate salesmen that are pitted against each other to vie for two spots. What determines their destiny is how they well they work with a motivational coach.
- Confessions of a Shopaholic – 2009 romantic comedy based on the novels of Sophie Kinsella and a college girl’s shopping addiction.
- Maxed Out: Hard Times. Easy Credit. The Era of Predatory Lending. The title of this feature length independent film says it all. It was released in 2006.
- Working Girl: Romantic comedy which features a New York secretary working in a world of mergers and acquisitions. An interesting twist comes when Katharine Parker, played by Sigourney Weaver breaks her leg skiing.
- Brewster’s Millions – a baseball player has 30 days to waste $30 million in order to inherit $300 million. A 1985 comedy.
To view more movies from a list of popular films that educate and entertain viewers about business, money management and other personal issues such as rebuilding life after financial loss, please follow this link. http://bit.ly/zoIegj.

“Make your own Bible. Select and collect all the words and sentences that in all your readings have been to you like the blast of a trumpet.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Last Friday evening, I was invited as a guest to an event hosted by the Steamboat Christian Center, http://bit.ly/GzAPbS, here in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. A lovely, well attended event, women shared their stories of faith with a diverse crowd. The finger food was beautifully presented and delish. But, the real attraction of the evening was heartfelt, personal narratives of three brave women; each tale a powerful testimony of belief and each unique in its own way.
As I drove home, feeling grateful for the invitation, I began to ponder how difficult it is to notice and acknowledge the work of faith in the craziness of everyday life. Letting go and allowing a force beyond us to guide us in our lives, is a concept that is hard to grasp. For those who do believe in living that way, it has often been learned through times of trouble and distress. Perhaps travails are put in our path so we stop and take notice, and move ahead differently. Would you agree with that?
Books about faith are not always about strife. Stories of love, redemption, forgiveness, motivation, hope, promise, acceptance, gratefulness and renewal are born out of faith, too!
There has never been a better time to connect with others through spiritual narratives. Independent publishing has provided a way for ordinary people to tell their extraordinary stories. Do you have a story of faith that may help someone else’s journey through life easier or more complete? Tell it, write it and share it! It is never too late.

“Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes time. Vision with action can change the world! ~ Joel Arthur Barker
Today, we are returning to a subject we shared on Saturday, St. Patrick’s Day – UNESCO’s designated Cities of Creative Industries. There are 29 cities that play integral roles in developing new technologies in publishing, cinema, design, culinary arts, music and crafts. Opportunity for opening up new prospects for globalization of exchange, cultural diversity and economic development has put these cities in the lead:
- Media Arts: Lyon
- Crafts and Folk Art: Santa Fe, Aswan, Kanazawa and Icheon
- Gastronomy (Culinary Arts): Popayán, Chengdu and Östersund
- Film: Bradford and Sydney
- Literature : Edinburgh, Melbourne, Iowa City, Dublin and Reykjavik
- Music: Seville, Bologna, Glasgow and Ghent
- Design: Buenos Aires, Berlin, Montréal, Nagoya, Kobe, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Seoul, Saint-Étienne and Graz
There are many reasons urban hubs are identified by UNESCO as outstanding places for creative industry including excellent libraries and bookstores along with their experience in hosting festivals and literary events. The promotion and preservation of foreign literature and cities with publishing houses also make them top contenders. Existing educational arts programs and initiatives and the involvement with new media also may qualify a destination for the international dimensions that UNESCO is looking for. To read more information on the Creative Industries Network, please visit this link http://bit.ly/wX0CNg.
At the local level, there are many small cities across the globe that are looking at their own arts and culture as ways to bring more tourists and economic development, including where I live –Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Visitors from all over the globe come here to experience the natural beauty in a mountain resort. While they are here, tourists want to gain an appreciation for fulfilling things that are found in the Art of the West.

A loyal blog reader sent me this interesting idea for consideration for a blog writing subject. Today, I would like to thank Marie from Australia for passing along this important and timely tidbit of information for St. Patrick’s Day.
Did you know in 2010, Dublin was named a UNESCO City of Literature? It is well justified. There are many Irish writers from long ago whose legacies have continued to live on.
Novelist and poet, James Joyce is just one of them. His major works include Dublineers(1914), Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Finnegan’s Wake (1939). Other notable writers from the Emerald Isle include:
- W B Yeats (1865-1939)
- Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)
- Samuel Beckett (1906 – 1989)
- Sean O’Casey (1880-1964)
- Oscar Wilde (1854 – 1900)
- Patrick Kavanagh (1904 – 1967)
Although, these writers are from centuries gone by, there are contemporary Irish writers who are continuing the tradition of providing literature with excellent content.
The daughter of Ireland’s Prime Minister, Cecelia Ahern is well on her way to fame. Walt Disney Pictures has bought film rights to her book If You Could See Me Now. I look forward to seeing how the film adaptation brings together the elements of fantasy and thoughtful dialogue into a fulfilling mix.
Now partway through Cecelia Ahern’s book, I found an Irish proverb, by an unknown author, that could be applied to the theme of this book.
“As you slide down the banister of life,
May the splinters never point in the wrong direction!”
If You Could See Me Now is available as an e-book. Readers, if you find connections between this wonderful Irish proverb and some of the internal conflicts in this book, send me comment on this blog. I’m interested whether your interpretations match mine. Let’s start an interesting discussion on this site.
Sending Irish blessings your way on this March 17th. Join us on Monday. We will explore other cities that have been designated as a UNESCO City for Creative Industry, and the characteristics these cities have to fulfill the requirements.

“Each age, it is found, must write its own books; or rather, each generation for the next succeeding.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
First Run Features, an independent film production company since 1979, has done it again. They have produced another worthwhile documentary. “Le Cirque: A Table in Heaven” is a 74 minute documentary that focuses on a legendary restauranteur, the Sirio Maccioni, and his company’s transition from operating out of the Palace Hotel, which was no longer serving them well, into a new contemporary space in the Bloomberg Building in Manhattan.
This film brings together family business dynamics, location and cuisine, and how to blend traditional with the contemporary for a recipe that continues to be fulfilling for patrons, many of which are celebrity stars.
The patriarch and his three sons have differing points of view of how to balance the old with the new and how to satisfy the food critics who can’t wait to serve up their own opinions of a legendary dining establishment in a new setting.
This film has appeal to culinary enthusiasts and business owners who are struggling with transitioning a family business from one next generation to the next. It is not always an easy thing and emotions run high.
Request this title at your local library or order it through http://imdb.to/s27wYg

“How can this be, with an author as talented as that?” filmmaker Moskowitz asks. He attempts to find answers to this question and tries to make sense of the world of publishing in the production of his film ”Stone Reader.” It takes an in depth look at books that are first rate, loved and then the author vanishes.
