The Tour Down Under 2010

Time 1:01

I made this video 2 years ago just after Team Sky cycled its first ever race in Adelaide. I’m a big cycling fan (on and off the bike) and Team Sky did brilliantly their first time out, winning the Down Under Classic on the first day of the Tour. This is a little tribute to them! It’s one of the first videos I ever made and though it’s rough and messy I still like it.

The Secret of the Hidden Egg

Time 11:38

This is an ancient Hopi prophesy story which resonates with what is happening in the world today and teaches us to have faith in the goodness and wisdom of the Universe.

The video was inspired by a fascinating book, Earth Mother, Our Womb of Life, free to download here.

My husband’s birthday inspired me to dig up our wedding poem and turn it into a short video. The words ring truer everyday.

Waitress in Waiting

Time 1:06 min

A woman confesses her fears.

This is one of the first poems I ever wrote and videos I made. It remains one of my favourites – beginner’s luck I guess.

Julia Effertz is the actress. Back then I didn’t believe in credits on films, it seemed like signing a toaster with the name of the of the worker who made it.  Now a couple of years and a couple of dozen videos later, I realise  that crediting the people who helped me is about the only thanks I can give them.
