How Daniel Hess expresses his innermost feelings through writing and filmmaking
This week, my special guest talks about how the inability to participate in sports and other activities, due to a medical condition, and the loss of his brother at an early age, inspired him to use creative arts such as writing and film making as a cathartic way to express his innermost feelings . We talk about how he got into film making, his poetry and the inspiration behind his new novel. Grab your favorite beverage and enjoy the conversation.\nDaniel Hess is a filmmaker/writer from Baltimore, Maryland. Born with aortic valve stenosis, Daniel found his focus on academia and creativity developed from a young age. Now in life moving past open heart surgery to replace his valve, he has self-published a collection of poetry (Just a Boy Blaming Himself) and his first novel (Focus Puller) in addition to his screenwriting work.\nFocus Puller tells the story of Ben, a filmmaker through non-linear vignettes that have shaped him throughout his entire life. Interspersed throughout the story are moments of reflection from the various women that Ben has had relationships with over the years.\nPurchase link:\nhttps://www.amazon.com/Focus-Puller-Daniel-Hess/dp/0578285428/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8\nConnect with Daniel at the following links:\nhttps://totonyproductions.com/\nhttps://www.instagram.com/totonyproductions/\nhttps://www.instagram.com/danhess90/\nhttps://twitter.com/danhess1990\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/dhess1/\nIf you\u2019re looking for high quality content editing services at reasonable prices, send queries to theplotstitch@gmail.com\nVisit www.everyday-excellence.com\nand use promo code Inspirational Journeys to get 10% off any product on the site.\nSupport this podcast with a monthly donation:\nhttps://anchor.fm/inspirational-journeys/support\nor you can give a one-time donation via PayPal at:\nhttps://paypal.me/annHarrisonBarnes?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US
