Documenting Quincy

I was interviewed yesterday for a documentary that is being made about singer/songwriter, Quincy Coleman. The director, Jaime, shared his story with me and from it I wanted to share this.

He was an actor on episodic TV. That did not fill him the way he thought it would. He was a maker of films, in his heart at least. He decided to listen to his heart, get a camera and shoot things that spoke to him.

He realized that if he got quiet and stopped judging INCOMING (people and environments around him) he could be OPEN and that Openness could allow him to hear and see 'more clearly'

So it is, the subjects he shoots and documents are those that have entered his life. Those that have given him pause. Those he was open to. And now his movies are being made...or some might say, in a way, making themselves.

Wow. If we get quiet and view things from a non judgmental place some answers may just show up. I needed to hear, Jaime's story.
