ISE-NY was formed to support media creators with networking opportunities, educational forums, practical support, fundraising services, audience outlets, film festivals, competitions and basically as many ways to empower its members to create excellent spiritual entertainment as possible or necessary.

ISE-NY monthly series offers networking opportunities and practical programs that are both informative and also provide hands-on-experience. Additionally, we offer a series of interactive seminars with knowledgeable media professionals, as well as screenings of films in various stages of completion. ISE-NY also invites producers and performers of live entertainment to participate and share their work.

ISE-NY MEETS MONTHLY every first Tuesday of the month 7PM-9:30PM. The next meeting, Tuesday, October 4, will take place @ The Meta Center: 214 West 29th Street (between 7th & 8th Avenues), 16th Floor

The Director's Chair

Muriel Stockdale - Director & ISE-NY, Inc.'s Co-Founder and Spirit Leader

Greetings All,

I am leaving next week for Ashland, Oregon to work on Stephen Simon and Spiritual Cinema Circle’s new film CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD based on the life of Neale Donald Walsch. This is for me a very special opportunity, as a few years ago I quit my costume career because I felt it was not nourishing me spiritually. So it is particularly heartwarming to go back to my old career for a project of such spiritual significance with people also dedicated to serving audiences in the same way that I am. I will try to stay in touch from a distance and I look forward to sharing my experience with you when I return.

Our next three ISE-NY meetings will continue to be brilliantly organized for you by Guirlaine as they have been for most of this year. We are now meeting monthly at the gorgeous META center, conveniently located in midtown. As I keep reminding you, this group is your group. We have organized so as to serve and support your creative needs and wants. We are now organized through The National Heritage Foundation (http://www.NHF.org) and are able to accept tax deductible donations. This will allow us to begin raising funds for some of the types of events and services you have said you would like. The only thing that holds us back is helping hands and innovative minds. If you would like to work on fundraising so that we may eventually be able to offer creative grants please let me know.

Thanks.

Muriel

ISE-NY October Meeting

Tuesday, October 4, 2005

"Set in New York City in the aftermath of 9/11 Into the Fire is an intensely powerful drama, one that inspires faith in the midst of agonizing, dark periods of the heart. With a marvelous cast starring Sean Patrick Flanery, Melina Kanakaredes, Jobeth Williams, this picture epitomizes all that is right about independent film. Inasmuch as it is a journey of the heart, it is also a hope story.one which comes intentionally at a time when all that is hopeful lives under constant fire. "John Friend, Founder, Anusara Yoga®

The Story:

The New York City Harbor Patrol's jurisdiction lives where the concrete ends and the water begins. Walter Hartwig Jr., a man to whom the unit represents his family and life, is the Lieutenant in charge ON THIS NIGHT. As a jumbo jet crashes on final approach into Kennedy, Walter’s tragic past seeps through his soul, causing him to lose...everything. Catrina Hampton is a music teacher at a Brooklyn grade school. Her twin sister Sabrina, always a nudge better than she, had just performed with the London Symphony...a dream they had shared as children. ON THIS NIGHT, Catrina awaits the return of Sabrina, her one guarantee that she would never be alone.June Sickles is a beautiful woman, embodied by an even more auspicious spirit. She lives and breathes every day with the truth of having lost her firefighter son on 9-11 and now lives with her granddaughter Quinn, whom he left behind. They live in a quaint house on a quiet street in Brooklyn, not far from the very firehouse that her boy called home.

On a night like any other, tragedy will strike.

ON THIS NIGHT, these three souls will not simply intersect, but collide, initiating their inevitable dance with the divine.
