Weekly wisdom from "52 Laws and Principles of The Infinite Filmmaker"

Every Monday, I’ll be sharing a principle from my eBook, 52 Laws and Principles of The Infinite Filmmaker — a guide for living and creating with deeper purpose, joy, and divine connection.

These aren’t just ideas — they’re creative truths that have transformed my own life, and I believe they can transform yours too.

Throughout the week, I’ll be posting reflections, lessons, and personal insights to help you apply each principle to your own story — whether you’re a filmmaker, artist, writer, or simply someone ready to live life more fully aligned with peace, harmony, and joy.

Here is the introduction to my eBook and please subscribe to receive a Principle every Monday.

There comes a time in everyone’s life when they ask the question, “Who am I and Why am I here?” This book came to me at a time when I had to ask myself the same question.

My dreams of “making it in Hollywood” were shattered when, after spending three years creating an online film festival to promote two feature films that I co-produced, my computer crashed, and I lost everything.

Depressed and refusing to get out of bed, I asked the Universe to tell me what to do with my life. Then like a miracle, I woke at 3:00 am and started to write down what my life would look like if it were a movie created by an Infinite Filmmaker and there were no limits to what “It” could create in my life’s movie.

Throughout the years, these writings have evolved into 52 Spiritual Principles that I have used to create many miracles in my life, and I am proud to offer them to you so that you can create the life you desire to be living.

“52 Laws and Principles of The Infinite Filmmaker” was inspired by my belief in a Power greater than me that I refer to as God, The Infinite Filmmaker creating the movie of my life.

I had the image of this Powerful God figure coming out of the bottle, much like a Genie that would grant me all of my wishes and make all of my dreams come true.

Over the years, I learned to trust in this Powerful Presence and would turn to it often whenever I wanted to manifest something in my life. I would never be disappointed and always received what I asked for. To my surprise, it always came as something better than I could have ever imagined.

The way I would release “God, The Infinite Filmmaker” from the bottle, was to practice the spiritual principles that you are about to encounter, and in doing so, I would experience many miracles in my life.

I urge you to practice these principles daily and watch how your life changes with each principle. At first, you will see small changes, and eventually, you will be able to manifest whatever you desire ... as long as it is for the higher “Good” for all involved.

Follow along if you’re ready to see your life not just as a series of events…

but as a sacred movie — one you’re co-creating with the Infinite Filmmaker.
