Grandfather - the Story of a Man I Never Met
Narciso never met his grandfather. Raised in a Portuguese small village, he has heard amazing, beautiful stories of this man his whole life, and he wanted to share one of the stories that helped to create the myth of that good man.
This short documentary uncovers a story of love, hope and commitment. A film that reminds us that even the simplest stories of people long gone are worth to be kept and remembered.
This film was shot on a Panasonic GH5.

This is thanks to streaming platforms like Netflix that made the medium much more...
Why being a Perfectionist Can Ruin Your Life
Переглядів 3,3 тис.3 роки тому
Being a perfectionist was something I used to consider as good, as the common characteristic among successful people. I was wrong. In fact, perfectionism can ruin our lives. It makes us feel like we are just not good enough. We start getting so scared of the idea of being a failure, that it completely shapes the way we live and behave, which leads to even greater levels of anxiety. It becomes a...

    As the father of a child with a disability I've come to realize that I learn more from him than anyone else. Watching him live and enjoy and struggle but carry on anyway! I realize how disabled in our hearts we all are! He's the normal one! He's the warrior who lives the life God has entrusted him with. We must see the value and respect that each and every one us has as a child of a God. We're all important and we all matter and we're all loved more than we'll ever know! Our choice in life is to accept that fact that we're loved, and to accept what's been given us. We're given certain things in life (at times difficult) that we perceive as not normal for a reason! Maybe we're given these difficulties to teach something that we never would have learned if we didn't have a certain struggle!! Very often we'll never the reasons why but we must accept it nevertheless! Life is all about choices! Chose to accept, forgive, and don't look in the rear view mirror but through the windshield which is forward!! We must carry our cross and fight the good fight till the end, and at the end of a difficult, joyful and sometimes very troubled life, our hope is to hear those words.... Well done good and faithful servant! Now enter into your Father's House!

    A really nice video...thank you. I found it very interesting because I am 79 years of age...I joined the Army in 1963 and went into the Army Air Corps....I also ended up in Borneo during the confrontation...initially based in Kuching on a forward repair team..I was there when Plaman Mapu battle took place. I smiled when I saw that we both had the same medals..the GSM Borneo and the Pinjat Malaysia 8:58 ...like Paul I too used to be very much into running whilst in the Army...and like him I did my six years...although they tried to get me to sign on for another three...I had decided to come out back into civvy life. Nice to see another old soldier who like me thinks that his days in the Army formed some of the best years of his life.❤

    Everyone, please help bring awareness to The Price of Care, Taken by the State. People with developmental disabilities under Limited Conservatorship need your help. This is a multi-billion dollar industry. Your tax dollars are not paying for care to our most vulnerable citizens. Your tax dollars are redirected to greedy judges, court appointed attorneys, guardian ad litem, public guardians, DDS, Regional Centers and Agencies. Please, please, share. They don't want you to know. Children and adults with developmental disabilities are kidnapped and exploited for profit. ua-cam.com/video/pfUwhgbxnps/v-deo.htmlsi=8Xco-IMk0yDcxO7d

    My name is Jonathan Trauner. I will be 30 this May 15th 2024 in Jerusalem. I work at Mobileye in Jerusalem. I have Autism. I am a poet artist and performing artist and I love Gal Gadot and Taylor Swift. On June 18th 2023, I got hit by a huge tour bus and I only broke my left collarbone and did not die. I finished recovering end of August 2023 and my bone returned back to normal and to a completely unbroken unified state beginning of December 2023. My greatest dream come true is to become the first openly autistic poet performing artist and artist with Autism to win my Emmy Grammy Oscar and Tony film and acting awards in Los Angeles California in 2025, or in 2028 at the 100th Academy Awards. #NEVERGIVEUP. "Here's to the ones who dream, foolish as they may seem," Emma Stone, 2024 Oscar Academy Award Nominee for film "Poor Things." RIP Mieka Pokarier, 16, a huge fan of Taylor Swift from Melbourne Australia.

    DIFFERENT EYES Lili The rat infested holes in which we Derros dwell Fighting for our daily bread with us as much as them For others looking at our lives perceived as living Hell If we can find an alley, with a corner safe and dry Then we are Kings for just a night and we don’t question why We’re creatures of the shadows from which existence stems. - The city is a cruel Lord and all we have is time There’ll be no hand to lift us up, no help to find a bed We waste our time wandering, with others of our kind Talking dreams, opportunity, reality and crime And those among us jackals, put their brothers on the spike Promise bliss for just a time, escape from life, sublime. - It’s all our fault we are told, by people who don’t know Just get a job and buy a house but none will ever employ A black who can’t afford to eat, a white who’s tired and slow For this is what the streets give us and Winter is the worst The frozen parks, incessant rain, back in our holes we go We try the subway, bus stations; move on, the middle class comes first. - Charity comes with a hook, the drone of pray to God We’ll give a little, not a lot, endeavour to change your life To one of fierce obedience to Jesus in the sky And if you let us take control for one small meal a day You’ll struggle on and on through life and then one day you’ll die A mansion awaits you in the clouds, if you pray and pray and pray. - But Spring brings hope, all Nature’s good, to creatures all awake Nature provides enough to eat, a nest a tree a cave But man must find their own abode and man exploits the poor So back into the tents on streets us Derros slink once more And every day it seems there’s more, one paycheck from the street This lucky country prosperous once, now greed’s a festering sore.

One is a very big documentary, involving learning 2 different languages, and traveling to a different country, as well as loads of research, and the other I can film in my hometown, I have a lot of background knowledge on, no new language required. This would be my first documentary. Should I just continue to focus on the big project, or, since it's my first film, create the smaller project first while still working on the large project to get a hang of how filmmaking works?

    i was also born with spina bifida and hydrocephalus. everything he said just made me extremely emotional. it is surprising realizing that i am not alone in this. the way he spoke about not finding a relationship hit me hard. sure i am 14 and i am really young but even in today's day and age most people my age look for love and relationships, and it is really hard to accept that nobody wants you because of something that you can't control but that's just how things are sometimes. not even just finding love, but finding friends is also extremely hard because at first sight, a humans nature is to judge based on whats clear to them, and most people never stick around long enough to know me for who i really am because theyre repelled by the fact that i have a disability. and even when i do have a "friend", it usually feels like they're friends with me out of pity, the pity of me not having anyone. i am grateful for the few real friends that i do have though. but at the end of the day, this much judgement in life for something entirely involuntary still really hurts.

    They stare to witness not to be mean but to deem, if you want a perfect child and then later that child gets hurt and disabled, you shouldn’t cherry pick life because if you do than someone won’t get a chance to make it anyway and as best as they can, also when I am asked where are you guys going, we always answer to stare at people, we are going out to stare at what’s made it in life. When they say hello what are you guys doing we say we are staring at people because nothing quiets a restaurant like us staring at people, we can change the room on a whim.
