Holy Filth

Truly great creative work resonates across cultures; it pays no heed to social barriers, it does not raise one man up above another… why? Because it resonates.

I believe that it resonates with “holy filth,” the kind of “art” that makes as much sense to our homeless friend in the gutter on the corner of Hollywood and Vine as it does to a businessman flying first class from Cairo to London.

It’s holy filth, because “life itself” reaches into our hearts, through a wall of despair and into that dark fearful lonely place and it resonates with life. It may do this through the simple offering of laughter (comedy), or by bringing truth (drama), or through stories of courage that lead us to action…etc

To shape this type of “creative work” with our hands,  I believe we need to humble ourselves and bravely step into the spheres of humanity that frighten us most… be a friend to both the businessman from Cairo and the homeless man on the corner of Hollywood and Vine.
