A Mission Statement for Holding Cinematic Conversations

Notes to Myself on How to Connect with All You Out There

---

Look around you.
Listen. Ask.
Share. Engage.
Immerse yourself.
Imagine.
Enter spaces, don't stay outside.
Walk, walk, walk.
Turn corners unexpectedly.
Take a chance.

Keep moving forward —
focused, tender, courageous,
in curiosity and kinship — onwards we go!

Life and cinema.
Cinema and life.
Time and experience each leave their mark.
Consider the past, consider the present, consider the future.

As a dear friend once wrote:
“Let's eat and drink and love cinema.”

So friends, let's wander and wonder!
