This is a test short. I was working with a few different ideas separately that came together, seemingly on its own accord. Shot on an iPhone, and using some innovations in technology and editing software. At the heart is the soul of the human. The concept is of a man who appears to be in a dream, going deep into the realm of the unconscious mind, a deep reservoir of symbols and metaphors, a journey not for the faint of heart. The man moves towards the eye, perhaps the window to the soul. This is a portal that he must go through. Once crossed the plot takes a twist and the man is chased by a wooden mouse, who represents the irrational, and unknown. The mind plays all sorts of tricks. Soundscape is an ongoing experiment, using sound recordings, including an accordion, and using GarageBand to bring it all together. There is no intro titles, or credits. It is produced. directed and shot by hälts. Please leave any comments, questions, revelations, dreams or concerns, and hälts will reply when possible. Thank you for watching
In kind regards hälts

I have added a donation button to my blog. It is entirely up to guests of Mahaloness to make a one time donation, there is no pressure, or expectations. Your contributions, call it a tip, ensures more posts and art, and this is something hälts would be very thankful for should you choose to do so.
Hi my name is hälts, I am a Canadian artist, geographer, film worker and mostly a human being. I did not grow up thinking I wanted to be an artist, things just kind of fell into place. Art is a special gift humans have developed since inception. Mother Earth is the greatest artist, and who keeps me humble on my path. I mostly paint, and use acrylic with an assortment of brushes and touches, and sometimes watercolour. I am also well rounded with airbrush skills, spray paint, digital art and production, filmmaking, photography and drawing. I make fine art work, small paintings, big paintings, murals, wearable art, functioning art, and art for healing. I go wherever calls. I inspire while also being inspired by this planet, and my fellow beings. Life is a gift, and that's how I treat it. If that's not enough for you, then perhaps someone else can fill your expectation. I have no one to impress, I don't do this to be cool, and I care about this planet as much as Greta Thunberg, thank you very much, and all the life it sustains. I am not pro this person or that person, politically agnostic, I am spiritual, I am happy, I am sad, I am love, I am fear, I am joy, I am sorrow, I am all that humans are. I don't care about celebrities endorsements, and reminder there are many folk out there doing their part for Mother Earth, in their own way long before the current movement, upheaval does not create forever change, it goes in cycles, it always has and it always will, just sit in front the ocean and see it for yourselves. Most of all I just am. Thank you kindly, hälts
