Creations—Visual Sounds

This week, we begin with one more short profile film, featuring Zoe Keating, an avant-garde cellist. Following that is an animated interpretation of TS Eliot’s moving poem, “The Wasteland.” Finally, there’s the short film “Awake O’ Sleeper” by Atlanta-based Whitestone Motion Pictures. I love their short film/music video hybrids and their style: a touch of steampunk and a sizeable helping of southern gothic; Flannery O’Connor would be proud.

The sermon seemed uninspired, barely prepared, and was presented with no sense of conviction. It felt like we were in church for three hours. We were in church for about 70 minutes.
