Inspiration

 

My inspirations in Film, Theatre, and Writing:

 

What keeps me going and what has changed my life over the years is the constant inspiration that I have gotten from different people, places, and sources. I would like to share with you some of the individuals, organizations, and books that have inspired me and made me who I am today. I hope you find something that touches your heart and takes you on a forever changing journey. Rob Bell's "NOOMA" films are some of my favorites. I was blessed enough to work on a few of them and it was an amazing experience. In this business, it's important to stay connected, grounded, and inspired so I hope some of my suggestions will help. I encourage you to search for yourself to find true peace and happiness within your mind, body and soul.These are just a few tools you can use to get there.

 

Blessings,

Lisa Varga

FILM

NOOMA - Rob Bell

www.nooma.com

These are 10 - 15 minute short films

This amazing individual, Rob Bell, not only has the knowledge and understanding of the Bible and its Jewish roots to back up his faith, but he has come up with a concept to grab the attention of everyone who enters the world of "NOOMA".

Watch one of these 10 - 15 minute short films and be touched forever. You can view samples of the films on the NOOMA website and get more information about Rob and what he teaches.

The NOOMA's are shot on actual film, not video, and are absolutely beautiful. The visuals are incredible and the stories and teachings have great impact. A creative team of writers, producers and directors all have a hand in making some of the most captivating and life changing films that will challenge you to ask thought provoking questions and take your spirituality to the next level. Even if you are not a Christian, you will find that these films appeal to everyone no matter what your race, or religion is.

The production team consists of Executive Producer Brett Van Til and Director Sonny Stoner. Rob Bell is the main character in each film and all three collaborate on the writing and concepts.

Rob Bell is the Pastor at a church in Grand Rapids Michigan called Mars Hill

I encourage you to listen to one of his sermons on line. They are brilliant.

BOOKS

 

These are a few books that I really enjoyed reading.

They have had a great impact on me for my acting, writing, and for understanding life in general. 

They have taught me about myself, my relationships, and my purpose. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
