It's amazing, when I've shown the film to smaller audiences where they can ask questions, there are so many people who don't know anything about Tibet... At first, I just assumed that everyone knew, but they don't, even some seasoned travelers! I guess I thought with the Tibetan uprising having such a high profile in the news last year that there would be an increased awareness. wrong. So I guess I'm doing my small bit to increase understanding of the situation.
Love your five Tibetan exercises yoga video and am going to start immediately... I've been looking for a short & sweet routine for a while now, and this is definitely it :) So thanks for that. It's a great site and wonderful work you're doing. Oh, and the photos of Gelek making momos are sweet, too.
The Shining Spirit film should come to Toronto in march, I believe, with the Banff mountain film festival world tour.... will keep you posted!
Take care, and look forward to being a part of Tibetan Life....

Karen la!
Thanks so much for your wonderful page!! It's a very good way to help get the word out about your project.
Gelek and I watched Shining Spirit and thought that it was very beautiful. My father also saw it and it helped to teach him more about Tibetan music, nomads and the Tibetan situation. He had a lot of questions about it afterwards!
It was very well done, some of the shots were breathtaking. What a touching story.
I didn't see you much in it though, I guess that you spent most of the time behind the camera!
Well done! I really hope that it comes to Toronto! Thanks again so much for sending the video to us.
