At this time of the year, I pick a theme for the coming year.  My theme for 2011 was “It’s happening!“, and indeed a lot of things happened.  Most notably, I moved to Los Angeles to be with my husband!  Yay!

My theme colors the year with a mantra that guides me and inspires me.  This year especially, I noticed that some of you reminded me, on several occations, that “It’s happening!”   I can’t begin to describe how helpful that was.

My theme for 2012 is “Abundance“.  Make sure you tell me yours so that we remind each other when the time comes.  :-)  I look forward to hearing what your theme is!

Throughout the holiday season and in 2012 remember that you make your dreams come true!  I wish you health, wealth, love, peace and happiness.

Season’s Greetings!

Joyeux Noel!

Merry Christmas!

Happy Hanukkah!

Happy 2112!

Children are the greatest casualties of war.

Hi! I’m Elle de Champagne and I’m the producer/writer/director of BOY. This is a story that is extremely close to my heart.

Since an early age, I was traumatized by my father’s stories and childhood memories as a victim of war. He was one of the many child-victims that lived and witnessed so much atrocity.

Unfortunately, the stories continue to this day. According to UNICEF, in the past decade over 2,000,000 children have died as a direct result of armed conflict!

We have got to band together to bring an end to these atrocities.

There have been many inspiring people over the years who have been extremely outspoken against war and who have helped to transform the outlook of many.

Two in particular are Martin Luther King Jr. and Mother Teresa.

Mother Teresa once said that she would never participate in any anti-war demonstration but would always be willing to go to a pro-peace rally. What she meant was that…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
in order to end war you need to focus on creating peace.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Similarly, Martin Luther King Jr. believed that…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the only way to end hatred was with love.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We need to stoke the fires that Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King Jr. and countless others have built and BOY will do this for us.

Boy is the inspiring story of an 8 year-old boy who gains the insight to bring peace to his world in spite of struggling to survive war and the wrath of a heartless soldier. This story inspires us all to take a step towards creating peace in our lives thus moving the world towards peace.

We need your help to produce this film. This will be our way to help to end the pain that MILLIONS of children suffer.

It’s about triumph.

It’s about peace… on a global scale.

It’s about the joy, bliss and innocence of childhood smashing into the  bitterness, arrogance and ignorance of adulthood and uncovering a world, an awakening of peace, harmony and wisdom.

It’s about creating a shift in global consciousness.
