I'm not crying, you're crying.

Man, this one might be my favorite yet. Absolutely stunning work.

Thanks Walther for your thoughtful comments on during this episodic experiment. I took a lot of what you said to heart

Man, I don’t even have the words. I love this and what you’re doing. We are really creating a beautiful gift for our kids. That shot of mango chasing her around the house was so perfect. Thanks for sharing this with all of us.

Thanks Marc. We really are - I feel like we won't feel the impact of this path for years, and yet it's already meaningful, you know?

I loved that shot, too. Atlas asks me to recreate it almost daily now, haha.

What a beautiful gift to Atlas. So moving. I felt like I was watching a secret between a father and daughter. Thank you for this gorgeous piece of art, Taegan. :wipes away tears:

This feels like gazing through a small portal, watching Life on a secret planet, which is warmed and powered by Love.

What a wonderful thing to say Ann. Thank you

Taegan, the clouds burst open when you said to Atlas "...I needed some proof that you really did arrive on Earth..." You're not waiting to say these things to her and to Stace. You're saying them now. If this is not the *Best* use of a year of your life, I don't know what is.

Lovely film, Taegan. I enjoyed the three part presentation. Congrats and good luck on the voyage. Each little creature changes it all exponentially. Blast off!

Thanks man. I'm not 100% sold on episodic, but it was a great experiment. Not sure I'd have had the bandwidth to drop this as a 48 minute film. Likely the end result would have been way, way different and about half the length. So there is that to consider... hmm.

i enjoy your one word videos very much. i am impressed that you have a reproduction od Wm Blake's Urizen on the wall in your office. one of my favourite prints from my favourite poet/artist.

Thanks Marty. I have a few Blake prints. But Urizen sits over my desk and is a constant reminder of the path. I also have Blake's Behemoth and Leviathan behind me on the opposite wall. Another favourite of mine.

Beautifully done. What else is there to say? What a way to wrap up the MOVING project. This one made me feel things (all three did, but especially this one). Thank you for sharing this with us.

Thanks Scoot for all our support throughout this month. I am exhausted after this project. But it feels like we’ve entered a new space. Excited to see where it goes from here.

Beautiful piece…the film work, the writing, the music.

Thinking about time, and looking back at your job, good days bad days, thinking about when my kids were Atlas’ age. I think it’s a blessing to put rose tinted glasses on for our memories. I miss those beautiful young years of my kids and also remember, albeit much less strongly, the exhaustion and frustrations that accompanied them.

The challenge is to view this moment with that same point of view. Not denying reality, but also not denying the truth of beauty found in almost, almost every moment.

Thanks so much Taegan for this wonderful film. You have an amazing gift for self expression, and I hope you will also continue to work with the written word. You have the gift! I also liked that you divided the film into 3 parts.

Sorry I’m so late in responding. You have done an amazing job!

Such a moving (pun intended) video that brought me to tears. How you do that!!! :')

More and more polished with each, Taegan.

I know I'm a bit behind here, but congratulations to you and the family on the birth of your second child.

Such a lovely gift for Atlas to see when she is older.
