Making The Magician's Daughter movie

• Special # 2 – THE TRIP – THE WEIDMAN HOUSE

  As I am on the road trying to produce my feature film, I use this time during the WGA writers’ and SAG Actors’ strike to record episodes for the podcast series, that will accompany my movie before, during and after it is produced.    As I can only tape them, wherever I am on the West Coast, the episodes are not always in a chronologically logical order.  But they can stand on their own for now.   This episode of the podcast is with my American friend Lenna Weidman, daughter of artist David Weidman.Staying at the magical house of artist David Weidman was a trip in itself. In this episode you hear everything about it, but we also dive into the life and art of her dad David Weidman.  His work and life was called whimisical and magical. No doubt that you recognize his designs from the 70’s, but it was also featured in the series Mad Men.This house and the art in it was so impactful, that I decided to film a few bonus featurettes and it even a produced a Blooper. 😊 Enjoy.David Weidman’s handscreened originals are available for purchase at Weidmansart.comYou can also watch this episode on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/1F7uujyLBwEAlso, check out the bonus featurettes on YouTube: https://youtu.be/FlqEmmfWQ54?si=ydxc3hxT_9AcLJgFThere, you will also find the video demo for my documentary version that preceded this current feature film version, recently retoucehd and uploaded in a better video quality.  Check it out: https://youtu.be/n2rtwz2zeCs?si=NCItwXewM0S7VYs2  More (filmed podcasts) will follow.  Please subscribe to my channel and like the video's as it supports the making of my film.   Any donation you would like to make on GoFundMe or PayPal will also be a great help to keep this series going, but will also benefit the making ot the feature film The Magician’s Daughter. https://gofund.me/d02a78c2   This episode was made with the generous help of Francoise Vaal, an amazing photography artist, whose work can be found at her website: vaalnature.art

• Introduction: Making The Magician's Daughter movie

  Hello, I'm Gerrie Timmerman and this is a new podcast series about my feature film project: The Magician's Daughter aka Disappearing Act. The movie is partly based on my life: The magician's daughter.  I am a filmmaker and daughter of the fairly unknown Dutch magician Timanini.But the film is also, and not in the least, about the life of the Jewish magician Ben Ali Libi, who vanished in the Holocaust and how his life and mine influenced each other in unexpected ways.The Sufi mystic and poet Rumi said: “What you seek, is seeking you.”That perfectly says what the movie The Magician’s Daughter is all about. As the filmmaker has to overcome the challenges to find the truth behind a Jewish magician’s disappearance in WWII, she does not only find a magician, but also herself. Did I give the ending away, is this a spoiler alert? Definitely not, keep tuning in as I take you into the different tunnels of the magician’s rabbit hole. And who knows, you might find you in this story as well.

Today I will tell you more about that.Among other things, about how the help for this project came from an unexpected angle and how these solutions can come unexpectedly.It has taught me not to immediately despair and certainly not to shed tears anymore on my favorite American breakfast: Bacon and eggs…Questions for GerrieDo you have a question for Gerrie because of this podcast ?
