David J. Curtis is truly a beautiful soul. Everything he does with his art, from acting, writing, directing, writing and playing music is done with depth of thought, love and compassion.

s3 ep1 the brilliant and amazing Skip Shea
Skip Shea is one of the most special of humans. Despite having suffered tremendous loss that no parent should ever experience after facing a childhood full of pain thanks to priests in the Catholic Church, Skip has turned all of that into some of the most powerful and beautiful art through his many movies. He also developed a film festival in honor of his daughter and through that not only showcases emerging filmmakers, but also helps women realize their visions of producing films of their own. He also produces two other film festivals, one in Boston and one in Italy. Our conversation touches on all of those subjects and more.
