Chinese New Year is a traditional festival, and the most important holiday for the Chinese. I wanted to show what old Beijing looks like during the New Year. I'm trying harder to create a narrative in my travel films through voice over narrative. I went traveling alone to get most of the footage provided for this film. Mine is not a story about my amazing vacation because what I wanted to convey with this film is the deeper sense of culture underlying the festival. I have lived in Beijing now for over a year. Most of the kids I tutor in English do not even know what a parade is, which is the backbone of the large American festivals. I started making travel films when I moved to China. Winning the scholarship would mean a lot of recognition for my blog, floweroflifepaths.com, where I blog about special interests such as community, environment, sacred spaces, devotional ritual, art, food, and music. I have been working on photography, writing, and making small films as a pastime here in China, previously California and Hawaii. In my professional life I've been a wildlife biologist, web designer/administrator and would like to transition to doing more travel related media content.
