Hi Everyone...


Two months ago I began filming a documentary on New York City based poet and tarot card reader, Enrique Enriquez. What attracted me to Enrique's method with the tarot is his complete non-belief in the spiritual... Enrique is a poet who explores the ancient Marseilles tarot as he would any other art document. His approach to tarot is no-nonsense without a shred of mysticism. This is tarot for the artist, for the philosopher, for the poet.


Recently the film has grown to include noted tarot authors from around the world who have agreed to discuss the tarot and its impact on contemporary culture.


In September, Enrique will be lecturing in France at a world famous tarot seminar. We will be following him there as well as filming the original Jean Dodal and Jean Noblet tarots housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale'.


Please take a moment and visit our campaign to read about what we're doing and to view the two clips I have posted... In only two short weeks, we are well over half way toward our targeted goal.

Thanks everyone... your support is much appreciated

A quote from Enrique Enriquez on the tarot:


"The reasons why I got into the tarot are so far removed from the common reasons other people usually share with me! I was telling to a friend that, through the tarot, I haven’t found the occult, nor the ‘other’ world, nor a spiritual life, nor god. What the tarot has given me is a reason to believe in art, and through art, a reason to believe we carry the means of our own healing, our own empowerment, and our own change. If we can make an image which can make ourselves cry, we can change anything. But again, the magic of the artist is the magic of the trickster: chiaroscuro, perspective, slow-motion, close ups, sound… things you learn by practice and by accepting what materials and tools can do, and what they cannot."
 
With 40 days left, we're close to being fully funded. Support from around the world has been incredible... please take a moment to view our campaign. Enrique is an important thinker in the world of tarot. This film will explore tarot in ways never seen before by stripping it of all mystical mumbo jumbo.

We're shooting on the HVX200 with Oktava MK012 mic.
 
good luck, your link isn't working because indiegogo is working on the servers. I hope no one is coming to the end of their campaign today. I'll check it out once it's back up.
