Here in Marin County the film is being shown at the Raphael Theater and people are coming out of the movie and telling everyone to go see this movie. It sparks some sense of participation in the artistic process. The artist in the documentary comes across as an ordinary man who finds the means of expression in the ordinary events of life. He sometimes seems to be a child playing in the vacant lot, the beach or on the rocky edge of a stream. The audience, I include myself and the people around me at the showing, reacts to the events with held breath, oohs and ahhs and laughs of young glee at the moments of presentation of his events in nature. See it. It is a film filled with moments of small treasures.
