Yes, but can you make it a little more personal

Fellini road trip

A Fellini film following him and mystic author Carlos Castaneda on their great road trip south of the border. A film about wanting to make a film.

Strange phone calls, spirit voices, peyote. Mysterious winds, shivers of leaves at twilight. A quest for nonordinary reality.

“The world has been rendered coherent by our description of it,” Castaneda argues, echoing Don Juan. “From the moment of birth, this world has been described for us. What we see is just a description.”

An enigma wrapped in mystery served in a tortilla.

The shaman leading the liar.

STEFANO BOSCUTTI is an independent writer and director and ideas man. He loves stories about true mavericks and outsiders who want to change the world. Larger than life characters who either wildly succeed or go down in flames. (Often both at the same time.) Boscutti's stories are usually laced with humor and a ton of irony. Question? Hey, you can ask him anything.
