The Conditioned from Michael Marantz on Vimeo.

Facebook Stories recently took down the Vimeo Staff Pick video off Vimeo, and I have re-uploaded my Directors cut here.

Raimundo Arruda Sobrinho was homeless in São Paulo, Brazil, for nearly 35 years, and became locally known for sitting in the same spot and writing every day. In April 2011, he was befriended by a young woman named Shalla Monteiro. Impressed by his poetry and wanting to help him with his dream of publishing a book, she created a Facebook Page to feature Raimundo’s writing. Neither could have expected what happened next.

See more about Raimundo and his poetry on his Facebook Page maintained by Shalla: facebook.com/ocondicionado

This short film uses footage from a documentary about Raimundo shot in São Paulo in 2011 and 2012, along with interviews and scenes filmed in Goîana, Brazil, in January 2014.

This is one of 10 stories celebrating Facebook's 10th anniversary and a decade of connections made possible through the platform. See the rest at facebookstories.com/10

A piece of music I composed for the short film I created with Jared Levy titled, "NYC" Dark.

[michaelmarantz]

Seeing lower Manhattan without power was a surreal experience. This is traditionally a city that never sleeps. One in which the lights are always on. One that is always bustling with people. When the lights went out it was wholly different. This piece is meant to capture and relay the feeling of what it was like to walk around the darkened streets of lower Manhattan.

See all of Jared's photos here: jaredlevy.me/gallery/hurricane-sandy-lower-manhattan/

One piece of the composition I made from the short, "story(us).

[michaelmarantz]

A film about collaborative storytelling that I directed.  Jake Barton and I collaborated to make this film a reality with help from The Future of Storytelling Conference.  All in all a wonderful experience.

Good friends and collaborators Jared Levy and Jason Oppliger both helped make this wonderful project a reality. 

Please see the full project at: storyus.net

The music I composed for the short, "The Future is Ours"

[michaelmarantz]

Dream big. Take small steps to reach that dream, and with every step, dream a little bigger.

[michaelmarantz]

More then Perceiving

We perceive the world in many ways.

We see. We hear. We touch. We smell. We taste.

But these five senses serve a greater perception. Something hard to define yet something that defines us.

We feel.

It is this ability that allows us to experience our world, not just perceive it.

Seeing the sunset with a loved one for the last time.

Listening to the first words expressed by your child.

The love of your life's lips gently caressing your own.

The smell of home cooking after being away for too long.

A taste of cool liquid after being deprived water.

These experiences are the chapters of life. And life is a story that you get to write.

Tell powerful stories.
