O Rama Federation Magazine

Independent magazine showcasing international artists and their talents.

 "O Rama" meaning like a 'wide view'  and "Federation" because every artists that submits him/herself had the freedom to reveal about themselves whatever wishes to the world.

 Started because my first time I was published- in a magazine with two poems- I couldn't stop smiling for about two weeks. I wanted to recreate that feeling for others too.

Here are some of the covers. We had artists from around the world and from various fields. Some examples: clay miniature animals creator, DJ, balalaika player, oil painter, cosplayers, photographers, models, singers, acrobats, actors, and many more.

Dragons and Action with Blake The Filmmaker

              I don't remember how I met Blake,


but it seems like I've known him more than a life time. Maybe even two.







  This photo was taken on a set of a music video. He was the steadycam. He mastered this skill.

He is a filmmaker. 


If you are ready for action packed movies, chicks punching bad guys, amazing mixed martial arts, kicks thrown with a great technique, and amazing arsenal of weapons, then you need to make some popcorn and enjoy Blake The Film Maker's movies.

Here he is on Youtube:
Blake's YouTube channel







Every time you see Blake he has a camera in his hand.  Don't believe me?
 

LOOK!

  

Besides that, he shoots kids.

   With a camera.
 
        

 for the new film: The Godchildren






 The cream of the crop was cast and the film was shot almost every weekend for a few months. This film just wrapped shooting and it is already an article about it, in the local newspaper. Check it out!

The Godchildren Trailer



Looking through the cast, I recognized S.J. Laguna.

A talented little fella who delivers the lines like a professional. I've had the chance to work with S.J. quite a few times and each time I was pleasantly surprised. He has patience when changing sets, takes good direction and with every take his performance gets better and better.

It is good to see him evolve. He was in my trailer for Matryoshka's Pillow as the little brother, named Бугер (Booger).

 And if that is not enough,






He just graduated!

CONGRATULATIONS, Blake!






And if that is not enough,

He just got his IMDB credits

And if that is not enough,

 A new film is in pre-production.  An action packed 2 hour movie.

Filming for the Future

 I love to love what/who is around me. Except a headache, a stinky bum, a spider.

But first- something funny:  a BTS video. Enjoy play fight Maculele

When an opportunity appears, what you do?

 a:  Sit around for it to get closer, arm's reach to get it
 b:  Get ready, get steady- to get it
 c: go for it, and hope your skills are going to make you be successful.

 Yes, I'd pick C as well..  Do you have all the "goodies" to be shooting a "one man army" style shoot? Here are some  DIY camera stuff that won't have you consider selling a kidney just to pay for them.

When something comes up, that you know it will not come again- EVER- what you do? let me help you:  GO GET IT!   I did.  More info about it - on the way.

xoxo

I feel Orange today! Is that normal?

            here is a quick scenario. {go visual}

Imagine tomorrow you wake up and your whole arm is still asleep. You might think you slept on it, and it's numb, and will come back to "its senses" soon. Go on with your morning routine.

[talking about the morning routine: i have no idea what's your beliefs, therefore I will go ahead and suggest something (new) for you to listen:  click here  <- it's just Hindu Mantras. no harm :)
]

Go do your thing, stretch, take your pajamas off, drain the pipes, brush your areas that need brushing, wash the ones in need, and, oh yeah- roll off the bed, not your eyes!  (0)_(0)  not necessarily in that order.

              you eat, your arm is still numb. it feels tingly at the fingers.  you go to work, your arm starts to feel like you are wearing a thick glove when you touch things...

                                                                   FFWD TIME: 3 months later

 your arm is still numb. have went to get checked and there is no answer for it from the medical perspective.

should I FFWD more or tell you more?   FFWD was my answer too! (*~*)

                                                                  FFWD TIME: 3 months later

 your coworker gives you a mini TWIX candy bar (your favorite!) and you have a hell of a time trying to tear the wrapper open...

click on: how about this!

this could be MS. a symptom.. scary right? I am working on making an independent documentary from the patient's point of view about MS. How it is to live with it and how people cope with it. 
         DID YOU KNOW, THERE IS NO CURE, YET?!     google it! and: wear one if you care
