In the Room S4E13: Only Fools go in, where Angels fear to tread.

Only Fools go in where Angel's fear to tread. Not sure if we are the fools or the angels in this case. Don't rush in is what we are saying, but also you have to go before you or ready as the perfect time will never happen along. We are a long way from our first show a few years back, 145 episodes or chats there abouts. However, it is not the time or the distance we are talking about, it is the reduction of fear, the increase in expanse of our comfort zone and an increasing excitement for what is now coming down the track. There is only Now in all of our time, we are learning to control the thoughts of tomorrow and yesteryear to harness the true power of the now in our own language and skills sets. We have stopped looking out to what others are doing, we have stopped reacting to others when the comment about what we should be doing. We are doing what is right for us, what makes sense to us, we are the experts in our world, it is not for everybody, there will be those that will never understand, others who will give out about the cost of it all. We are for those that Get it, that want to embrace change in themselves, in their surroundings, try new things not readily available anywhere else and willing to invest in themselves and that journey. Change takes courage, it also takes time and in a lot of cases investment in experiences. Time is the scarcest of resources and the most valuable, are you who you are meant to be, why not join us on our journey while we continue to try figure that any many other questions out.

In The Room S4E12: In the Middle of difficulty lies opportunity, our job is to wake it up with a kick up the backside

In the Middle of difficulty lies opportunity so says Albert Einstein. If everything was easy, everybody would be doing it, whatever it happens to be. In our case, it is planning for our feature film, we are in pre-production, we are also in script continuous development, we are building the frameworks and processes to onboard our future customers whoever they turn out to be, into a safe and nurturing environment where they can experience with us the roles and activities of Micro Indie Film Production in our Retreat. The Retreat being that retreating from their current life and / or work environment to enter our Film Production World to taste, to tease, to thrill to explore, to engage, to embrace, to wonder and ponder what could be, what will be. You can be anything that you want to be, with time, with effort, with nurturing, with practice, with encouragement with collaboration, with permission or even without. We are just trying to be ourselves to encourage each other and hopefully by example others on what can be if you just consistently turn up and put in the effort albeit a baby step at a time.

In The Room S4E11: The Great Opportunity is Where You Are Now

We are in the room again, discussing where it is we are, so nothing new there then. We have arrived at the end of a one part only to arrive at the beginning of another and such is life. We realise that we are where we are meant to be, we are here and now. I am usually somewhere in an unmanifested and somewhat intangible future possibility as are a lot of people it turns out. I know so many burning the present for their future pension days, what a way to live or die even. I know it is planning for the best but sometimes I think is it worth giving up the known now for a time or an eventuality that may never exist. That doesn't mean don't plan or sacrifice just not at any cost. Stay present, enjoy the moment, enjoy your time, your story of existence even if it might be in the matrix. We are happy to be where we are in our project, our Indie Micro Budget Feature Film even if it is twenty workloads of madness and mayhem but it is our story of now and the many more to come on our journey to a Feature Film which is not a set of tasks for the faint hearted. Go Live Your Story and leave some footprints in the sands of time, in my case size 13 Doctor Martens.

In The Room S4 E08 Small Things

In The Room S4 E08: Small Things

You think you have got problems until you hear about someone else's. Thats not a Knife this is a Knife if you get my meaning. Everything is relative but time is not, it is finite for you and me, Doctor Who aside. Our Lifestream and its component minutes, 1440 a day a third of which we are unaware of or not conscious for, so we need to be very aware of the remaining ones and use them wisely, valuing every single one and not waste them dwelling on the past and worrying about the future, there is only Now and Now and Now, you get the idea. We need to give value to this time we have; it is fleeting but not worthless, Be Giving of it, share it with Others, Give Value to it, Go Make Friends and Influence People. Do not for God's sake spend most of it on Work for Money for the Future, the cost is too great for a future that is not certain, you may have wealth for the future, but you may not have health, you may not have family and friends, they may have passed or moved away of moved on etc. A lot of my time is taken up by things that if they didn't exist, I wouldn't be doing them, A Large Garden and House demanding never ending maintenance, repair at a cost of my lifetime, so less time for me, family and friends as the bills demand paying. The answer is to simplify, let go of some material things, they are an illusion, they are the thieves of time, they have no meaningful value, they have no soul, but they will consume one. Lots of self-reflection in this episode sparked by conversations with others that value life and time beyond all else, All the Small Things or moments that define our footprint on this piece of dust in the cosmos.

In The Room S4E07: Perpetual Perception of Perspective

ITR S4E07 2 -Today's episode is all about getting the right perception and looking at things from a different perspective.

Today's episode is all about getting the right perception and looking at things from a different perspective. No Point catastrophizing or feeding the imposter syndrome, Now is all that matters, get your mojo in gear and get things done no matter how small or irrelevant the tasks seem. By just talking things through with someone else, the problem is shared or more than likely diminished, in my case I am a feeder to improbable potentialities and have lived through the worry many times for something that was under my control to avert by identifying and implementing mitigating remedies and then pursuing alternative solutions to more advantageous goals that came from chatting with others. Go find your team, mentors, coaches, and collaborators, the answer usually is found elsewhere when not within.

In The Room S4 E06 - Collaborative Creativity with Business in Mind

In the Room with Gavin and George, we're exploring our exploits with film festivals and what we are doing with artwork, storyboarding and storytelling, and the difficulties people have been having in the industry, which we've also experienced over the last few years in one form or fashion.

What was coming in front of me (Garvin) of all my streams was anime, manga, you know the language, it was colour. It was a flat colour caricature, something maybe I could draw in sketch form. It wasn't fine art, Michelangelo. Leonardo. It was something I could attempt to colour by numbers, but large. Over the last number of years, these images started to appear in six-foot by six-foot paintings. And that's now the journey of storyboarding the 52 I assemble.

In The Room Series 4 Eps 05. Angels, Demons, NDE, then 1s and 0s. Garvin and George started talking about angels and demons and Garvin asked George if he believed in them. As a deacon, he does, but things have to be tested out to see what is true or false. A Boolean statement looked as though it was going to emerge, however, things go off in other directions about what drives us and our purpose.

In The Room Series 4 Eps 04 Planes, Trains & Automobiles. Where's your ticket?

In The Room Series 4 Eps 04 Planes, Trains & Automobiles. Where's your ticket? Sometimes everyone feels lost. Garvin is worried about running out of runway, while George is looking down the line to see how far the track goes. It's really about the destination and where it terminates. Or is it just a station on the way? The key is not to go off the rails and end up lost in the wilderness. What is life really about? This is the main topic for today's episode.
