Featured Artist
Jasmine Lovelstzy
Jasmine Lovelstzy is an actress, director, producer, writer, and ISE-NY webmaster. Recently, we sat down with Jasmine (during a rare moment of inactivity) and posed a few questions to her about her filmmaking journey. Q: How did you get to where you are at the present moment? J: I was always an extremely visual person and drawn to films, so I started acting when I was nine years old. When I was fifteen, I started to envision a curriculum for an alternative way of education, using movies as a media of learning rather than books. Q: What drives you to manifest your visions?
J: What drives me to manifest my visions is a feeling of becoming alive in the process of the very manifestation. Q: What youve accomplished?
Shifting Reality
J: I went to the Digital Film Academy three years ago, and there I made Shifting Reality, starring Barbara Kreitmayer. Shifting Reality is a silent film about a departed soul who comes back one more time to say good bye and, in so doing, helps the surviving loved one to come out of the mourning period. * * *
Finding The Way
J: Last summer I shot Finding the Way, which starred Tonya Latrice, Bern Cohen, Thom Jordan and Jerome Gentolia. I am so proud of the fact that the cast and crew of Finding the Way came primarily from the ISE-NY network. This film is about breaking down the walls and misperceptions between African-American and Jewish people, while the main character pursues her dream.

I See You
J: Last winter, Joana Verde and I co-wrote and starred in I See You. In the film, we play two homeless characters and their expression of the Meaning of Life.

Stupid Game
J: In the film Stupid Game, directed by Nancy Yates, I had a lead role as a patient in a psychiatric institution, played with MG as a therapist and John Barilla as a nurse.

Indigo Experience
J: In January, Pietro Tzoanini and I co-produced a documentary, Indigo Experience, in which I interviewed members of the audience after the NYC premiere of the movie Indigo.

Q: Quite impressive. Where do you go from here? J: Towards the present moment ..(smile) Q: What dreams and visions are you dancing with now, and where do you see it taking you?
J: Somewhere down the time line, I would also like to obtain a Ph.D. in either Spirituality or Consciousness (or something in that realm) through the educational program that I am co-creating. PhD
My vision is also to touch and inspire every person I cross paths with to find their own vision and purpose in life that makes them feel alive and then to manifest that in reality... * For further information about Jasmine's journey and her work, please visit www.lovejasmine.com |
