‘Social’ media has been presented as the modern solution - sold to us as a cyber hack of connection. While it certainly has its uses, it allows for a connection that occurs only within the mental arena, while our physical selves remain alone in our living rooms.
Rediscovering our connection to humanity means moving beyond the illusion of ‘social’ media, where connections often feel shallow and confined to screens. The true work of meaningful connection is done in shared spaces, where more than words are connecting us - creating a space where true intimacy can occur - even if that means just touching an arm, holding a hand or sitting together saying nothing at all.
So, instead of just liking, sharing, or commenting online, let's pick up the phone and make plans to meet face-to-face. Look into someone's eyes, connect with their soul, and start consciously creating meaningful connections in our lives. It is in this way that we will look around one day and realise that we are no longer alone.

In collaboration with iNous, we recently released a beautiful deck of 52 cards - each card containing a quote from one of our films, paired with the activating visual muses of Lanon Prigge. The aim of this deck is to rekindle child-like curiosity and creativity, helping to navigate the shared waters of our human experience with grace and joy.

Who is Reflections of Life? We are Justine and Michael (previously known as Green Renaissance). We use our passion for filmmaking and our love of storytelling, to remind our audience of one simple truth - that we are all human. The more that we understand and believe in this interconnectedness, the more we will treat ourselves, one another, and planet earth with a greater sense of compassion.
