Perinspire Goes to the Philippines
Esy Casey and I went to the Philippines in January to eat fresh see urchin, party with el Petit Señor, pretend we were beach dogs, and meet some amazing artists and crafts people.
We met BenCab at his inspiring museum where we filmed for hours in the magical grounds with acres of organic farm, aviary and coy pond.
We interviewed the acclaimed director, Brillante Mendoza, about his new project.
Clips will be posted shortly on Perinspire.com
We also spent an after noon at Saroa Motors for Esy’s new secret project…stay tuned.
And I started the first chapter of a lifelong window diary.
