Press Roundup
“A beautiful film, truly exploratory and poetic. The music is wonderfully evocative of inner and outer states of being, which approach bliss.”
POV Magazine | The New Classical FM
“A technical-artistic tour de force, the picture speaks directly from the subconscious, where piano tone, environment, cinematography, sound recording, and film montage all flow from the same hands, eyes, and heart, allowing the viewer to see and breathe the world as James did on his journey, and as he continues to do in his cabin and in New York to the present day.”
Mr. Will Wong
“We are forced to sit and simply be in the present moment – with this film… It truly engages our senses and puts us in a state of awareness which, in our fast-paced world, is very much needed. A truly engaging sensory experience.”
Hye’s Musings
