The Stage 32 Videos: Directing Award

This video is David Goodall's Directing & Writing Reel

Leo is smitten with the new hire in his company, but the new hire, April, only follows the “love” advice from her psychic, Madam Lazora. Faced with this problem, Leo bribes the Madam Lazora to tell April that he’s "the one." April “sees” Leo (the double lion) in a new light, and they get to know each other. Except she’s into him too much to the point where she's driving him crazy. Whether its naive on Aprils part is not really the issue. In the end he realizes that the mess he is in, was all his own doing. Maybe he wasn't such a good guy after all. April also comes to the realization that she never did fall in love with Leo - To her, it was meant to be just like Madam Lazora said - so she missed out on the falling in love stage of the relationship. Taylor Treadwell plays that emotion so well in the pivitol scene when it all falls apart. You can just see it in her face as that realization hits her. Chakra Love is a fun little film but underneath the light hearted comedy there is some depth. Leo is a likeable character and although he is perceived as a good guy he ultimately wins his love by bribing someone that April trust, only to discover it wasn't the prize he was hoping for.
