'What Draws Us To The Sea?'
Written & Spoken by John Siddique
Paintings by Dania Strong
Animation by Dr. Clarpupia Hernandez
Music by Katie Chatburn
Direction & Supervision by Walter Santucci
We we chatting about this film last night as we were prepping it for you and got into a whole long talk about things that pull people back. With us both, it is sea and hills (or mountains like Mourne in Ireland), and if you put the two together.. that just spells home to us...
What do you find yourself returning to? Pop us a note (or a poem or a bit of prose) and tell us about what compels you to return.

Your poem videos are just marvelous, John. I've watched this one several times already.
I could be pulled
back by a word,
make of its sound
the voice that returns
to me the look
of you falling
in love.
I write this thinking of my son.
I think familiarity, John. Anything we know and trust. Anything but the unknown. Our old addresses. Our old schools and places of work.
The hills and the trees change with seasons, but we change each and everyday.
Thanks for your inputs Brain-rush & Maureen.. a lot to consider, and yet not as we are so simple in many ways..
