Short Film Review: COSMIC HANDSHAKE. Directed by Steven Wright Clarkson

This video is about unity. As a christian, I know I can learn something from just about everyone. Opening your heart to other countries and their people and customs undoubtedly bridges the barriers that this world needs so very much. No matter what religion, color, creed, race, sexual orientation, etc., we are all children of God. He loves each and every one of us immensely. He wants to form a strong relationship with every creation including us. Peace and Christ’s love to each of you,

Review by Julie C. Sheppard:

Cosmic Handshake is a visually electrifying video. From the outset, the artistry takes the viewer along a rapid path of dynamic imagery. It is not just a striking twist of movement – – it is also an exploration of multi-faith symbolism. Familiar religious icons are displayed in vitally brilliant shimmers. A shiny peace sign and uniting handshakes are also central to this display. Human and alien hands reach out, we see acts of kindness and bonding, in addition to live action footage of a diverse group of children joyfully linked together.

The vibrant colours are rich, and the textures are sumptuous, a tapestry of outer space vistas and surreal nature scenes. The other striking element of this video is the use of gorgeous fractal-like kaleidoscope displays.

All this beauty is entwined with a cacophony of sounds – – piercing guitar, low bass notes and hearty percussion. The combination of meaningful icons, breathtaking palettes and soulful musical composition all make Cosmic Handshake an unforgettable immersive experience about love and acceptance.
