My name is @alexlapointe and I am excited to get started on Steemit!
I have had the opportunity to meet some fascinating, motivated and enthusiastic Steemians at Anarchapulco 2018 and at the very first edition of Anarchaforko, in Acapulco, México. Thank you to @lily-da-vine, @erikaharris and @kennyskitchen. They are the reason I am here.
Who am I?
I live in Montréal, Canada. My first language is French. I am passionate about cinema, freedom and exploring the nature of reality.
In the past few years, I’ve been co-running a video company called Créations Premier Plan (https://www.1erplan.ca | https://www.facebook.com/CreationsPremierPlan/).
Projects have varied from promotional and advertising videos to documentary and fiction films (three of which have been screened at film festivals).
I have learned so much from meeting and collaborating with other interesting human beings. From these experiences, I have found that those who choose to work on creative films do it because they love it so much. That, I find, is a truly beautiful thing.
What now?
I am at a point in my life where I want to be more involved in the promotion of freedom. The intent is simply to look at what we were told and frame it in a different way. Which makes me wonder: why it is so hard to thrive in life on earth? Is government real, or just a belief that some humans have power over others? What is life all about? Who are we as human beings? Who is this person I call ‘me’?
When describing ourselves, we often refer to the past; thoughts, images, sensations. However, there is no person that exists that is separate from the experience of life. Maybe there is no actual separation in life. Like a wave not being separate from the ocean, but made of it. Maybe if we can start to truly understand what we are not, then our inner freedom can shine, and life can be a much lighter experience.
What’s to come?
Steemit will be a platform to share spontaneous video creations and explore life themes that interest me. The goal here is to offer valuable content as often as I can. In my second or third post, I will publish a short film that was completed a few years ago.
Communicating via the medium of motion pictures is one my preferred ways of expressing myself. It is an art form that unites photography, theater, music, painting and so much more. As humans, we like a good story. So why not use that to express my views on life? Creating motion pictures requires collaborating with others. My collaborators will always be included and promoted in my posts. I hope to get them on Steemit in the near future.
Finally, my goal with Steemit is to express freedom, beauty, randomness and my life in a poetic way, through the lens of a camera. I have been wanting to practice my craft on a regular basis, and I have found a good way to share these creations. I hope you enjoy, and take away something from what I create.
Thank you for reading. Merci de m’avoir lu.

freedom and exploring
Damn right!
I'm excited to meet you here @alexlapointe. I'm a fellow filmmaker and peacekeeper. I believe you'll appreciate two particular areas of Steemit, as you get started here. One is a community challenge called #freedomchallenge, by @sagescrub. Another is the Steemit Vision Quest ( #svq ), which is an invitation for artists and dreamers to envision the world we wish to live in. I imagine you'll find tremendous support for your goals here, so welcome home!
@cabelindsay! ::sheepishly:: hello :-)
sheepish because of how i completely dropped the #svq ball...
but would love to start fresh :-)
i'm so glad to have been reminded of that awesome-sounding initiative, and hope you're well!
Oh, what a pleasure to hear from you again @erikaharris. Yes, I am well, and I'm grateful for your note here! We're on our 10th Vision Quest, and each one has been a journey full of unknowns, treasures, a mystical flow, and fantastic connections. It's been a blast, and of course your "fresh start" is music to my ears. :) Much love!
Hi @cabelindsay. It's nice to have a welcome from a fellow filmmaker. I very much appreciate you sharing the #freedomchallenge and the #svq. I will definitely check these out more in detail very soon. Thank you man!
Oh yeah, my pleasure to share. And I'm sure there are other areas that will interest you too. I'll keep you in mind when I find something interesting. I've participated in some interesting film collaborations here, in fact. I'm envisioning a certain special tribe of radical filmmakers joining forces across the world, just now meeting via Steemit, very slowly and naturally, and one day we will work wonders to co-created the world we wish to see.
Very interesting. I'll be keeping an eye.
welcome, @alexlapointe!
