Day of a Stranger // Teaser from transcendental media on Vimeo.
Yesterday, an e-friend let me know that there’s a film being developed on Thomas Merton’s hermit years – based around his tape recordings. That made my day! I wasn’t even aware of these hermitage tapes. The video above is a teaser for what it will be like.
I immediately sent them support towards producing it. I hope you will too.
I serve as Chaplain at the school (Christ’s College) where Thomas Merton’s dad (Owen) received his secondary education. I have had a strong interest in Thomas Merton since I was a teenager. In 2006, I set in motion the process for adding Thomas Merton to the Calendar of the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia.
