Sunday Celebration! with Mike Shoeman – Why The Arts Matter

Mike will be recounting the over two-year journey about his self-made film “2×2”. The real life  themes of spirituality, mental health, and homelessness will be included in his talk.

The synopsis of the film reads:

“The year is 2009. A homeless man wakes up from a recurring dream.

He dreams of interacting with his future self. The two explore how the critical mind often kills ideas before having a chance to emerge.

Two years into his homelessness he finds a mobile phone in his pocket. It is technology from ten years in the future.

Upon taking the call, the man discovers a knowledge about how to end poverty and war on the planet. He attempts to instruct his future self from the year 2021 – an actor making a homemade film who has no recollection that he is following a script. Together they create universes, explore the future, and ask deeper questions such as ‘What is liberation of the human spirit?’

The film serves a primer to the 2×2 Algorithm and a creative introduction to regenerative economics. 2×2 was produced on no budget with only time banking volunteer hours.”
