TOTALITY is a series of time-lapse films of total solar eclipses, shot through the years in exotic locations around the world. Photographer and composer Billy Mallery calls the project “a lifelong dance with the Moon’s shadow”. He has been praised for his unique approach of creatively placing the eclipsing sun within the scenery, as well as for his accompanying original scores.

Billy hopes to witness and film as many eclipses as possible and then merge them all together into a continuous cinematic and musical journey.

I’d like to thank singer/songwriter/activist Daniel Hawks for telling me about “ONCE” and actor/filmaker/singer/songwriter, Jason Loch from “FLY” and “the elur” for reminding me to watch it.

I love this film and anyone who likes movies about music should see it. I have provided some links here for various people and projects related to this post. See the movie “ONCE” many times and pass the word. I can’t believe it was out in 2005 and I missed it. If anyone hears of showings in any theaters in California, please contact me at: markdoty2@yahoo.com

The Sweell Season is Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. They are the singer/songwriter/actors from the movie “ONCE“

How great is life when you are surrounded by creative people who love you and your work? I’m really enjoying this.

Thank You
Mark Doty
