The Doll's Postman

Log Line: A story (fictional?) on the interaction of Franz Kafka with a child who had lost her doll.
Synopsis: The story of Franz Kafka becoming a Doll’s Postman to cheer up a child and writing to her 14 letters paints a very different image of this cynical philosopher from the 19th century. His thoughts and writings have outlived him and are as relevant today as they were in his time. The film recreates this heartwarming story of Franz Kafka and his inspiring writings.
Theme:
The young can see beauty so easily! Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.

The film explores the experiences of soldiers, medical volunteers, and displaced families as they attempt to pick up the pieces of their lives in the aftermath of this terrible event.

Traditional Indigenous Ways of Being

An Ed Breeding Film. Featuring Geronimo Vela and Dr. Lisa Grayshield. Revision Editing by Geronimo Vela.
TRADITIONAL INDIGENOUS WAYS OF BEING is an excellent ‘blueprint’ for us all to follow, if we want to have a better future for ourselves and our children on this planet. It should be obvious to anyone that has been paying attention to all of the negative actions of humans on this planet, that we need a major paradigm shift to take place, to get us on a different and better trajectory, if we hope to survive as a species....
