As its CEO Randolph Pitts turned a
small, new film production company, Lumière Films, Inc., into the most
successful independent producer/financier in Hollywood, best known for the
multi-award winning film "Leaving Las Vegas", for which Nicolas Cage
won the Oscar as Best Actor. Today he is a widely respected international
motion picture producer and production company executive. He holds Summa Cum
Laude degrees in Social Psychology and Egyptology from the University of
California Berkeley, and a Masters Degree in Motion Picture Production and
Entertainment Law from UCLA. He has also done advanced research for the
Department of Psychology at UCLA, concentrating on couples and relationships
dynamics. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and the American Philosophical
Association, the organization of university professors of philosophy. He is
also an associate member of the Los Angeles County Bar Association. He has a
lifelong interest in the relationship between philosophy, psychology and
history. He is the founder, writer and host of the Explore Ecstatic Sensuality
podcast, the number one sex and sensuality podcast in the world. The first
volume of his eagerly anticipated tetralogy of novels will be published during
the fourth quarter of 2023. Pitts' spellbinding novels deal at an unrelenting
fever pitch with eroticism, mysticism, terrorism and crime on a global scale.
And also… with women and men falling in love. Advance praise for one of
Randolph Pitts' novels: "A sexy thriller that shows New York City in the
grip of terrorists, natural disasters and voodoo magic, while at the same time
being a moving meditation on love, sensuality, and twenty-first century man's
fate in the universe. Possibly the greatest novel of our time. I am going to
nominate it for the Nobel Prize."
« Est-ce que je m’aime ? Vraiment pas. J’aime bien ce que j’ai été hier. Je
ne suis jamais en adéquation avec le présent. Aujourd’hui, non, je ne m’aime
pas. Mais, quand je regarde des photos d’hier sur lesquelles je ne m’aimais
pas, je me dis: “Ah si, c’était bien !” »
“Do I love myself? Not at all. I like
what I was yesterday. I am never in tune with the present. Today, no, I don’t
like myself. But when I look at photos from yesterday when I didn’t like
myself, I say: ‘Oh yes, it was good!’”
“Previously I believed that everything
I experienced was exceptional. That
everything I lived and did would always be exceptional. Now I found myself unremarkable. Sometimes I’m
happy with that and other days I can’t stand it.”
Charlotte Gaisbour g, Amoureuse (1992)
