This show is produced by Sarah Shedd and Sophie Kohn. Each week we sit down with filmmakers, writers, musicians, fine-artists, and healers to share stories and answer the why behind creativity itself. We’ll discuss the context of a project, a dream, or a mission and get to its core — we will see why and how each core shines. we invite you to open your minds, and your hearts, to greater luminosity. This week I’m chatting with one Sophie’s dear friends Sanne Kortooms

Sanne is a Dutch director, screenwriter and filmmaker based in Amsterdam. She is known for her black comedy To Catch a Fly (2017) for which she received five "Best Director of a Short Film" awards. And in 2021 she was named one of the winners at the New York Film + TV Festival with the film installation “Not Everything Is What It Seems.” In all her work, either fiction or documentary, Sanne always tries to focus on people and their personal story or psyche. It is her goal to let her viewers fully immerse in a world they (might) have never experienced before and make them wonder about themselves and the world we live in.

Dean is the founder of Great Way Martial Arts and Longmont Acupuncture Clinic. He began traveling to China and throughout the U.S. in the mid 80’s to study with Master Wang Peisheng, Daniel K. Pai and Share K. Lew to learn their martial arts and advanced internal energy systems. He is passionate about sharing Taoist Meditations, Tai Chi & Qi Gong due to the profound effects they are known to have on body, mind and spirit. As an acupuncturist and herbalist, he strives to bring the same Taoist approach to his clinic to not just treat symptoms but treat the root cause of illnesses. When he isn’t chasing his four kids (they are all a little older now, so not so much chasing), you can find him speaking Spanish to his spicy Beta fish, Señor Pantolones del Fuego
