… What I think is very important is that you sort of either got it in your personality to be a director or you don’t. I know that I knew very early that I was a director. I just knew it because of me. I like to think big and I can. I also am very involved in empathizing with people and telling stories. All of that is part of being a director, as well as the visual presentation and all of it. So it’s something that completely kept proving itself to me as time went by that I re

By Karina Michel Feld Intimes of war, the world often sees the headlines and political narratives. What it rarely sees is the quiet, deeply human reality unfolding inside homes, inside families and inside the hearts of those still creating. Artist Andi Arnovitz is one of those voices. Writing from Jerusalem, her words are not filtered through distance. Between the sirens, sleepless nights, and moments of unexpected beauty, Andi continues to create, document, and reflect. Her

One meaningful exchange can ignite films, movements and entire businesses. Karina Michel Feld It starts in a living room, in a café, in a classroom or in a cramped corner of a conference hall. A few people share stories. Some laugh, some wince, some frown. But as voices echo off the walls, something shifts. The conversation, relaxed and informal, plants seeds. Months, sometimes years, later a film is made, a nonprofit is founded, a band is formed. These “everyday conversation

An Interview With Karina Michel Feld “The goal is for people around the world to say the United States delivered a safe, welcoming, and world-class event. Visitors should leave with memorable experiences from their time spent across the country. Beyond the tournament, the hope is to create lasting benefits — economic growth, cultural exchange, and improved infrastructure — while kicking off an American decade of major sporting events, and reaffirming the U.S. as the premier h

Oh, man. I’m a very open book. Very much an open book. I feel like at least for the people that follow me. That they have a good idea of who I am. That’s a great question. I’m a massive, massive horror movie fan. Horror is my favorite genre, horror, or thriller. Any of that kind of stuff. I just loved ghost stories and stuff when I was a little kid and would watch Stephen King movies. nothing too crazy, but enough that I realized my favorite type of movie gave me adrenaline.

… You know, it starts in my fever brain, and really, it’s hard to make a stroke without knowing what it is you’re trying to draw. I think that’s something that a lot of artists and animators don’t think about first, they’ll just start doodling and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Well, if you wanted to get started as a climber, the best way to get started nowadays is to go to the climbing gym, which is also how I learned. Literally every city in the country has some kind of a good climbing gym at this point and so it’s a safe and accessible way to try the sport. But then beyond that if you really wanna get serious about climbing, then you just have to start having adventures outside. Like going hiking in the mountains, learning how to climb outside. T

…”Only kindness matters” was a lyric in one of my songs but it’s really become a profound insight 25 years later into the way I want to live my life. When I first wrote these kinds of lyrics many people thought I was too sweet or naïve, and I’m glad that nowadays people are starting to see the importance of love and kindness. I recently had the distinct pleasure to interview Jewel. Jewel went from a girl who grew up with no running water on an Alaskan homestead, to a homeless
