Almost all dishes are eaten with the help of special chopsticks, though many restaurants have European dinner-sets and everyone may use them.

Awakened Attention means an intensely energetic and alert attention, never lost in experience yet always aware in the midst of experience. Using Awakened Attention, your habits of rejection, avoidance...

In the same spirit, the Film Director must understand the basics of Budgeting and the extremely important Weekly Cost Reporting process. Every creative decision involves money. It’s only good sense to learn to translate creative ideas into costs. Most Film Directors have elected to stay away from film budgets and production costs. The heavy grinding SHOULD be left to accountants - but, let's lay it on the table: The Film...
