The film
The idea for this film came from a conversation with a close friend. We were talking about how I get the message of Into the Fold across to a wide audience. Not an easy feat within a space that is saturated with solutions. Integrity, vulnerability, playfulness and an open mind are central to how I live and I was keen to infuse Into the Fold with the same values. Out of our conversation came the small beginnings of an idea to bring to life the vision for Into the Fold through words and music, both of which have the ability to reach beyond the petty, to tap into the mind, body and soul and provide the perfect platform for the values that I hold dear.
Collaboration and connection has always interwoven into my work and life, and that thread continues with this film. I have been very lucky and humbled to work with two of my closest friends who are kindred spirits, as well as being unbelievably talented. Love, playfulness and laughter has come together with story and melody to share my message to you all. I hope you enjoy it.
