N ewsletter from CEO

Welcome to the world of Blue Flower Productions, the film company of America’s Premier Cultural Resort. Here in the Berkshire Mountains, all the arts thrive, save for their crowning glory, the motion picture. We hope to remedy this lack.

The Berkshires have always been a magnet for visionaries, from the making-a-spiritual-spectacle-of-themselves Shakers to the sublime artists of the Hudson River School, from the thought-diver Herman Melville to the uncanny-inducer Gregory Crewdson. Now this region has attracted a fiercely independent film studio steeped in the grand New England tradition of making the spirit’s circumference one’s business. We aim not merely to express -- but to press -- thought’s outermost rim, via a discharge of intellectual energy uncontainable save for this ultimate limit, a mind-expanding exuberance manifested in films as conceptually exciting as they are visually ravishing.

To be blunt, we love the mind’s frontiers with an erotic intensity. Driven by this ardor, we have dedicated ourselves to the proposition that spectacle can push back the limits of the thinkable. Spectacle implies excess and excess implies overflowing bounds. It follows that the greatest of all spectacles would be one that does not merely saturate the senses, but overflows their bounds to penetrate and fecundate the non-sensory part of the brain, where ideas are born that crystallize our inchoate notion of the possible. Because of its affinity with the physiological realm, spectacle can infuse the brain in ways that flout the mind’s categories and undermine our deepest assumptions, liberating us from society’s shibboleths and making possible new ways of thought and being. Though it targets our physiology, the reverberations of a great spectacle can thus stir the soul.

That’s the ideal toward which all our films will aspire. Just as the Blue Flower of 19th century Romanticism symbolizes the human mind at full flower, thanks to the cultivation of a trail-blazing spirit, so we wish to make films that use the vitality of spectacle to transport consciousness to an ecstatic encounter with possibility’s farthest shore.

Quotes
The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.

- Aristotle
