Happer's Comet. by Taormina, Tyler,film director.; Cassanova, Brandon,actor.; Burt, Brendan,actor.; Taormina, Brianna,actor.; Berlino, Grace,actor.; Terry, Jax,actor.; Guglielmo, Michael,actor.; Factory 25 (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Brandon Cassanova, Brendan Burt, Brianna Taormina, Grace Berlino, Jax Terry, Michael GuglielmoOriginally produced by Factory 25 in 2022.Following his acclaimed debut Ham on Rye, Tyler Taormina’s hypnotic follow-up is a midnight mosaic that reveals a suburban town steeped in alienation. It’s the middle of the night, but things are far from quiet; as the camera peers into the late-night happenings of various residents, we witness a number of them quietly escape into the dark… on rollerblades. Drawing on 1960’s European art cinema and 1990’s kid’s TV in equal measure, HAPPER'S COMET presents striking individual vignettes that unfurl like a collective dream. Mesmerizing and meditative, the film solidifies Taormina’s gift for transforming everyday banality into uncanny cinema.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Mind magic : the neuroscience of manifestation and how it changes everything / by Doty, James R.(James Robert),1955-author.;
"For decades the practice of manifestation has been widely dismissed as self-involved, materialistic pseudoscience. But as neuroscientist and recognized compassion leader Dr. James Doty reveals, manifestation introduces us to different possibilities, and it lays the groundwork for a kinder, better world. Doty grounds us in the practices that change our brain structures: attention, meditation, visualization, and compassion. This mind magic allows us to move through the world in ways that help us see clearly-reclaiming our agency, realizing our dreams, and reaching out to help others along the path. Where previous works about manifestation have focused narrowly on outward success and individual benefit, Mind Magic delivers an openhearted call to make manifestation part of a deeper contribution to healing the problems we face today."--
