DIRECTOR’S NOTES

Wonder of Wonders

I once read: A miracle is a shift in perception. Bearing wit- ness to any natural wonder or experience of a natural phenomenon is nothing less than miraculous. It's as if the uni- verse reminds us that we are connected to something much bigger - asking us the question: What is your role in all of this? How would you like to make your mark on this Earth? And how would you like to spend the remainder of TONY your life in this beautiful, quirky, wonderfully phenomenal HUMRICHOUSER world of ours?
