About Lost in Sunshine

Maybe you’ve visited a website for a movie before, and ours doesn't look or function the same as most.  That's because we're not just trying to be a movie poster on the Web, with a trailer. Think of this site as the Lost in Sunshine Channel over the whole life span of funding, creating, and distributing the movie. 

In “The World of Sunshine” we've been experimenting with online fiction to present a "prequel" about our two main characters.  In the "prequel," Lyn and Bob, the heroine and hero, do not know each other nor meet.  The upcoming movie will show what happens when they do meet and affect each others' lives.

In “Behind The Scenes,” we’re documenting our journey as the creators of this project, and we publish a monthly e-newsletter where we present Guest Writers on personal development and spiritual journeys.

We hope we’ve piqued your interest, and that you’ll “tune in” every week!  Thanks for checking us out.

Director's Statement

When I first began to write this story, I fell into what some call a "zone." I had to tell Lyn's story. All I knew is where I wanted her to go, and where I wanted her to end up - but in a real, authentic, yet bold and non-apologetic kind of way.

Lost in Sunshine deals with the emotional baggage we all carry around with us at some point in our lives. But, it's funny, too. Mostly, because life is funny. Really funny, even when it's not supposed to be. Especially when we look for answers in external forms, or through diversions, which only help push us away from the truth. We often get buried, lost beneath the debris we've accumulated over the years and haven't learned to deal with. Sometimes we're smart about our choices. Sometimes we're stupid. But every ten years warrants a reflective period, when we ask ourselves, "Is this where I thought I'd be?"

There's a definite comfort in knowing that we're not alone in making mistakes, and that if we are semi-smart and honest in our efforts to be better, we will learn from them and prevail. Might take a little trial and error... but hey, we'll get there. We'll just have more material to work with!

It’s a story about love, loss and finding stillness and light in a seemingly dark world of unruly.
