Daniel Mollner - Positive Use Of The Media Category "Project 52" is the title for Daniel Mollner's year-long dance/film project in 2012. Creating an original 3-5 minute video every week for a year, he finished the film... at the end of 2012... and had touched so many lives in doing it. Creative evolution was flowing in every film... that showed the quest of the human soul to cocreate... inspiration from inspriation. Thank you for the healing it did Santa Cruz where is was based. We made a music video with Daniel on the beach... and when it is edited - it will be CREATIVE EVOLUTION "Beach Dancing" at: www.spiralon.com.
Jon Anderson - Positive Use Of The Media Category (the voice of Yes) is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable voices in progressive rock as the lead vocalist and creative force behind Yes. Anderson was the author and a major creative influence behind the series of epics produced by Yes and his role in creating such complex pieces as Close to the Edge, Awaken, and especially The Gates of Delirium was central to the band's success. Additionally, Anderson co-authored the group's biggest hits, including, "I've Seen All Good People", "Roundabout", and "Owner Of A Lonely Heart". He gave an amazing concert in Santa Cruz and we will be featuring some clips ongoing. See CREATIVE EVOLUTION "Rainbow Rejuvenation" at: www.spiralon.com.
Julia Butterfly Hill - Alternatives Towards A Better World Category
Julia is a one of a kind spirit who transformed herself
while she lived in a 1000 year old tree that she named LUNA - the tree taught
her many things and being away from our culture many more things. She came
down an international hero for helping to preserve the ancient forest and
the environment in general. Yet even more for the way she went about it. She
actually made friends with the Lumberjacks - so much so that when someone
tried to cut down LUNA a year later. It was the Lumberjacks who put braces
in it so the strong winds would not make it fall. LUNA still stands today
as a symbol to the world of what people can do when they care. Through the Circle Of Life Foundations Julia and those who work with
her continue to do all kinds of activism. She has written books (The Legacy
Of Luna, One Makes The Difference) and is filled with love, joy, and inspiration
in all she does. She is helping to reshape how we call attention
to what is no longer good for any of us. In her story she tells us that family
owned companies who did mostly selective cutting for years has some cut backs
and were forced to sell their companies to huge corporations that now clear
cut and so much so that towns like Stafford (near where LUNA stands) were
turned into mud slides when it rains.. the trees used to hold the top soil
in place. Thank you Julia for all you did by living in LUNA, yet more so all
the work you have done since you came down and most of all for all the love
in which you do it.
Sandra Bernhard - Positive Use Of The Media Category
While on tour with "EXCUSES FOR BAD BEHAVIOR"
we were able to get an interview with Sandra who is as real and present as
she is insightful. She is an activist in that she questions authority and
the way we view things as "normal" - especially things that are
not good for us. Then she wraps it all into a show and somehow makes it sexy
to care. She is always way ahead of the curve of what's considered acceptable..
pushing the envelope towards our continual awakening with each new show she
evolves herself through bringing her audience along to laugh at it all - as
they come to see the beauty through the irony in our amazing world that is
growing - one insight at a time.
