Hi there! Just peeking in real quick, as time is of the essence on a project that my brother is working on, which I want to share with you. Alas, I have been majorly under the weather, and working on getting back to 100%, stinky bugs that creep up on you. I hope to be back to myself soon.
Over the years I have shared some of the music my brother has made to go with some of my paintings, for example…
If you'd like, you can hear more here…
Anyhow the point is, my brother, whose name is Adam Valencia, is working on a new short film that I want to tell you about.
But first, I wanted to share a bit of his own personal work. So, I begged him to load his short reel onto YouTube so I could share it here. It is a menagerie, little snippets if you will, of some of his work…
He has also worked on all sorts of projects for other folks. I am not sure what I am or am not supposed to share in that realm though.
He is always up to something interesting. Traveling all over the world, making films.
(Adam on the far left)
I love seeing him work on films for himself. It is great to make films for other people, but you also have to do your own thing. It is all part of the path to reaching dreams, and learning and growing. Adam is in his early twenties, which is such an exciting time.
I love watching what he is up to.
I am about 12 years older than him.
I used to crawl into his bed with him when he was a baby, and hug him and kiss his baby face. I would carry him around, and smother him with love…
That is, until he started warding me off with a plastic baseball bat.
Haha!
But now, he is a mad movie making scientist, all growed up, and doing deliciously exciting things!
But, there I go veering again.
The point –
Adam is hoping to making a short film.
He is using kickstarter to raise funds for his film.
A bit of a scary popcorn flick.
Fun fun!
I love scary movies.
I think making all sorts of movies, especially early in your career, is so important. There is so much learning and growing that happens with each project.
Good Luck Adam!!
🖤
Hope to be back here just as soon as I feel better.
Love, V
ps: I am supposed to have destroyed my fave photo from several years ago, of me and Adam. It is an actual paper photo taken with a disposable camera, hence the graininess. He was making a funny face, not on purpose, tee hee! I love the photo, but I understand not posting photos that others don't want you to post. So, it is me and my brother, as a raccoon 😉
(I am standing on a little curb, since my brother is much taller than me)
Oh I have always been so curious about your brother! I’d heard the beautiful music he makes on your youtube but never knew anything about him. This is really remarkable! Your parents are incredible people, to have 3 amazing, talented, artistic children!
LOL! The raccoon face. Haha that’s too funny.
You know the strange thing… my brother (not younger, two years older) is in his final year at film school. How peculiar is that?
One day in the future, when you and I are having a creating party (it will happen one day), our brothers, who seem to be around the same age, can have a film making party 🙂 HAHA!
Hi Vanessa,
Good luck to your brother and get well soon to you! x
Aren’t baby brothers grand!! Queenie is 7 years older than B the Brave. It is soooo natural for big sisters to gush about baby brothers!! All the best and much success to your brother, he is a very talented guy!!
Sending healing thoughts and prayers your way that you would be feeling allllll better spiffy quick.
Have a better day,
Always, Queenie
I wish your brother much success. Beautiful music and short clip.
Hope the sun shines on you and you start feeling much better soon.
My brother will always be little Markie to me. I do love him so.
And you, oh talented one, have a little brother too who is equally talented.
There’s nothing better than a little brother. I’m 8 years older than mine. I was famous for dragging him out of bed and begging him to come sleep with me. He’d wait until I fell asleep and then sneak back to his room.
P.S. There’s some big fat uber talent that Adam has going on.
Oh U lucky girl!
To have a brother!
and one who Creates!
Yes
Yes
Yes fortunate U
If only U would feel Tip *Top
soon
then life would B swell….
Go! Adam! All right!!! Lookin’ good there.
I like what he is executing in the field of cinematography. Awesome work! And I love the music Adam has added too!
Thank you for sharing…and I hope you are better soon…not fun being under the weather.
