Man on Wire

I'm excited to see this new film about Phillip Petit, the tightrope walker who had a vision to cross the Twin Towers and did it. Late in the evening they shot an arrow with the metal cable attached at at 7:15am the next morning he crossed 1300 feet above the Manhattan sidewalks. I first read about him in an interview in Acne Paper and thought it was so romantic. He reminded me of a real life version of Baptiste from the film Children of Paradise, whom I might be for Halloween. The beauty of his falling in love with a woman who resembled the moon, forever constant in his mind and heart, but unattainable in his complex world. "Love can be so simple" she said. I haven't seen it yet, but know I will be moved and inspired. It's playing at the Sunshine Theatre in NYC where I'll be to launch the current issue of First Person mag and excited to see all NYC has to offer, and there is always plenty, and all my great ambitious warm friends. Here's to having a passion and vision in life and carrying it out in reality.
