Event
An Evening with Frederick Marx
Film director, producer and Rinzai Zen Priest Frederick Marx is returning to Lisa's Hearth on Thursday evening May 11. He will step out from behind his camera for a dialog about being a positive agent of change in our complex world and how to open our hearts to connect with others in ways that facilitate trust, intimacy, better understanding and healing between individuals and communities.
Frederick will use the evening to share wisdom through deep and open discussion. No topic is off limits, and Frederick is open about his personal experiences such as being ordained as a Rinzai Zen Priest and the recent death of his beloved wife. Where appropriate and to highlight a topic, he will have clips available from some of his documentaries including Hoop Dreams, Journey from Zanskar, Rites of Passage and Veterans Journey Home.
Space is very limited for the May 11th event, and it is expected to sell out. Buy your tickets in advance to guarantee your spot. 100% of the $20 ticket price goes to Frederick to allow him to produce more great documentaries and informative talks.
BIOGRAPHY OF FREDERICK MARX
Nominated for both an Academy Award and Emmy Award, Frederick Marx is a Producer, Director, Writer, and Editor with 40 years in the film and TV business. His last film Journey from Zanskar - featuring the Dalai Lama and Richard Gere - is in worldwide distribution. Most known for Hoop Dreams named the Best Documentary of All Time by the Intl. Documentary Association - Marx has screened his films at the worlds most prestigious festivals, networks, and venues. Other recognition includes: Chicago Tribune Artist of the Year, Guggenheim Fellow, recipient of a Robert F. Kennedy Special Achievement Award. Other recent long-form films include Boys to Men? and The Unspoken. Short films include Rites of Passage: Mentoring the Future, Tatanka Alliance, and The World as it Could Be is Within REACH. He's presently developing his next film Veterans Journey Home to highlight the best people, practices, and programs designed to help veterans transition successfully back into civilian life. Having dedicated his life to the making and promotion of independent films, Marx, a true maverick in the increasingly commercialized world of independent cinema, continues to provide a voice of artistic and social integrity. He repeatedly returns to work with disadvantaged and misunderstood communities: people of color, foreigners, abused children, the working poor, welfare recipients, prisoners, the elderly, and at risk youth. He brings a passion for appreciating multiculturalism and an urgent empathy for the sufferings of the disadvantaged to every subject he tackles. As his mission statement indicates (Bearing witness, creating change), his is a voice strong and clear, and profoundly human. http://www.warriorfilms.org
