The Hafiz Project - The Brilliance of Your Own Being

Edited by Kaia Rose & eric mann

In August of 2017, I traveled to Wyoming for the Great American Eclipse to film an installment of the Hafiz Project, a series of short films created by Eric Mann where each one visualizes a poem written by the Sufi Master Hafiz. This short features my telling of The Brilliance of Your Own Being and won in its category at the Best Shorts Competition as well as being chosen for the IMDb Independent Shorts Award. 


This is the Beginning, from I to We

EDITED BY KAIA ROSE

The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck is one of my favourite books and this excerpt is just as relevant today as it was when it was written. This is a very personal piece, created with my brother and using the voices and moving portraits of us, our parents, Valerie Brinton and George Reid, and our dear friends Jeff & Carey McKinnon to tell this story. The locations we used are around the area in Southern California where we grew up, including the train tracks on the Carpinteria Bluffs where we used to play.
