ODYSSEY is a visual poem. It was shot in the Anza-Borrego Desert during a grueling, ten-day shoot with the reflected temperature off the desert floor at 140 degrees. The work portrays the odyssey of a woman/goddess/mankind, born from the sand, evolving from birth to innocence and then to growth, knowledge, pride and sin and, finally, through death to a transcendental reunion with her creator (the One).

The aim of the film is to heighten the viewer's spiritual awareness. This is a non-traditional film that attempts to reach and stimulate the viewer's inner being; to touch by non-literate means through the use of images, music, design and theme.
