BTW still

Welcome to our story

I started writing BETWEEN LIFETIMES in 2006. My son Lucas would sleep behind me as I typed away. I based the child's character on Lucas. My intention was to complete the script quickly, so I could cast Lucas as that child. As the script grew, so did Lucas.

Flash forward. It's 2012. Lucas is at least half a foot taller than me. The story came into its own after more than a few re-writes, and now I find myself on a roller coaster ride of ups and downs in an attempt to bring BEWTWEEN LIFETIMES to the big screen.

Carrie Clark , Lauri Hakola, and I (Antonio Weiss) are preparing to go film in Paraguay south America, in the next few months. BETWEEN LIFETIMES has become EL RIO DE LAS VIDAS, as it was translated in Spanish to adapt it to the culture and languages of Paraguay (Spanish and Guarani)

Possible location here for the entrance to small town in Mexico

Locations: I have been traveling up and down New Mexico. I believe I could shoot the entire film right here in the land of enchantment. Mexico is there, should we want to use it. And Bourbon Street in New Orleans, in my friend Claudio's store, Marie Laveau's House of Voodoo.
There are the scenes I shot in China, and some Paleolithic caveman-like outtakes in Joshua tree. This is nothing short of an exciting roller coaster. My job is to stay alive while I keep pushing forward.

So finally I am up-to-date with the beginning of this dream. Please feel free to join me, if only by  sending good energy. Everything counts. With that, here is a quote I received from the Kabbalah Centre -another journey I started in Paraguay, thanks to my sister Sonia.



Push Your Rock 
Wednesday July 27, 2011 
There once was a man who had a huge desire to please God, so he prayed day and night until one day a Voice spoke to him, “I want you to go and push a rock.”

The man woke up the next morning elated, and ran outside to find a huge boulder.  He began pushing it, but nothing happened, so he kept at it all day.  The next day he did the same, yet it still didn’t budge an inch.  He went on like that for     three months, until one day he got so frustrated that he stopped pushing.
That night he had a dream, and the Voice asked him, “Why did you stop pushing?”  “Nothing happened,” he answered. “Nothing happened? Look at you! Look how determined and focused you’ve become. Look how powerful your  muscles are now. You’re no longer the person you were when you started. 
Besides, I didn’t tell you to move the rock; I told you to push it. I’ll move the rock when it’s time.”
Keep pushing your rock.  It'll move at the right moment, in the perfect time, when you least expect it.  And amazing things are happening, even if you're not noticing them yet.
