Vulcana Wolfe's Interests
General
My precious life. Truth. Freedom, not facades. Beauty. Peacefulness. Excellence. Genius. Sofia. Discernment. Language. Talking and listening to people who have the courage to actually think, investigate, question, decide and act for themselves. Consciousness continually raised, beyond the limiting guises of various forms of 'spirituality'.
The sea. All things Gael. Exploring. Films that actually have stories. Books that make me want to read them again. Dancing. Old world art. Hiking Wallace Falls. Agate hunting in the Pacific Northwest with my 3 kids. (It's been way too long, and they are all adults now!) Camping. Great architecture. Gardens around the world. Photography. World cultures. Astro this and that. Wolves, horses, birds, dolphins. Ren Faires. Drumming. Ancient temples. Travel. Europe, especially the Greek Islands, and little villages in France. Words that start with V and Z. Sailing. Cathedrals. Pirates. And so much more.
Music
I love most kinds of music. World rhythms, old jazz, and anything that makes me want to DANCE!
Specifics? The standards... somehow they always make me feel like I'm in New York. And (not just cuz my father hails from there) I love New York!
Sting. Enigma. Most classical music. All the great folk artists. Bernadette Peters. Alanis Morisette. Blackmore's Night. Edith Piaf. Jennifer Berezan. Christopher Parkening. The Waterboys, Afro Celt Sound System. Meav. Mozart. Show tunes. Chopin. Leonard Cohen. Puccini. Nina Simone. REM. Flesh and Bone. Deva Premal. Van Morrison. Maria Callas. Viktor. Joni Mitchell. Robbie Robertson. Bottomland. Cat Stevens. Peter Gabriel. Kenneth Hope. Raffaele Schiavo. CSNY. Sheila Chandra. Tribal chants. Donovan. Jimmy Buffet. Tangerine Dream. Keith Jarrett. Philip Glass. Kate Bush. Krishna Das. Flaming Lips. Clannad. KD Lang. The Doors. Pytor Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Cris Williamson. John Coltrane. The Decemberists. Pretty much anything Celtic. Bob Marley - especially when singin' with the kids! The music we create at circles. The music of life in the forest, or on the sea when sailing. And oh yeah, I want to learn the tango.
Favorite song? Ah, there are a few special ones, like Guillermo's Mexico, Piaf's La Vie En Rose, Perry Como's Catch a Falling Star, maybe even
Shostakovich: Piano Concerto No.2 In F major, Op.102...
but I think Moon River will always be right there at the very top.
And of course....I am Layla's number one fan!
Movies
Zeffirelli’s Romeo and Juliet (Tylbalt!) and Brother Sun, Sister Moon. Rob Roy. Blade Runner. Apocalypse Now. Water. The Duellists. Into the Wild. Classic comedies (like the shaving scene in Road to Rio, eh, Bradley?) The New World. Deer Hunter. The Pianist. The Unbearable Lightness of Being. Capote. Breakfast at Tiffany’s. My Architect. Babette’s Feast. Lost in Translation. Big Fish. The Fountain. Rabbit-Proof Fence. Legends of the Fall. Lion in Winter. Funny Girl. The Old Man and The Sea (Spencer Tracy). Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Casablanca. Whale Rider. Thin Red Line. Manion of the Spring. The Sea Inside. Edward Scissorhands. Angela’s Ashes. V for Vendetta. Chocolat. The Moon-Spinners. Things We Lost in the Fire (Benicio!) Waking Ned Devine. Brokeback Mountain. Aria. Vera Drake. The Godfather. Kurosawa’s Dreams. Once Upon a Time in America. Platoon. Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill. Lovely and Amazing. Doctor Zhivago. Annie Hall. Days of Heaven. Enchanted April. La Vie En Rose (2007 - Parfait!)
I’m sure there are a number I’ve left off, but these are some that have affected me the most over the years. Mike Myers and Tom Hanks make me laugh; Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman amaze me; and sure - I’ve momentarily swooned over a coupla gorgeous guys now and then, but anything that sticks with me for years and years had to have that seemingly special something about it.
Television
In Europe when I was a girl, we didn't have one. In my teen years, I was glued to Dark Shadows and The Monkees, Man From Uncle and a couple more... and pretty much any movie. I remember watching the miniseries 'A Town Like Alice' when I was pregnant with my son, so that really stands out in my memory. Not to mention it was quite good. Later got into A and E, Bravo, Sundance and so forth. And was a major X-Files fan! But I haven't watched television really since maybe 2000, I think. And I realized recently, I haven't missed it a bit.
Books
Marina Tsvetayeva's poetry. Atlas Shrugged, Everything by Thomas Moore. Disappearance of the Universe. Wide Sargasso Sea. 72 Names of God. The Human Stain. The Dante Club. The Secret History. The Palace. Disgrace. The Dive From Clausen's Pier. Leaves of Grass. The Hours. ACIM. Twilight of the Celtic Gods. Up Island. Old Cockatoo. The Perfect Storm. The Woman Pope. The Sophia Sutras. The Power of Now. Walden. David Copperfield. Moby Dick. Arrowsmith. To Kill A Mockingbird. Fall On Your Knees. Don Quixote. An occasional vampire novel. L'Etranger. Possession. The Mabinogian. The Lord of The Rings. The Grapes of Wrath. Angels and Demons. To The Lighthouse. On The Road. The Magus. Cape Cod. Call of the Wild. And thousands more...I usually have several books going at once, around the various screenplays. I read an average of 3 books a week and have read 30 a month. I was raised on the classics, as well as fairy tales, mythology, history, and biographies of those who have contributed to the betterment of our planet.
Great hearts steadily send forth the secret forces that incessantly draw great events. Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Heroes
Those who appreciate the fullness of life and live it sans judgment of others, bringing their Truth to wherever it's needed, without fanfare. Some people who have influenced or affected me deeply: Francis Ford Coppola. Julia Shade. My mother (yeah, there's a story there.) Vincent. Christopher Reeve. John Lennon. Julia Butterfly Hill. Fred Rogers. St. Francis of Assisi. John Galt. And whoever was behind William Shakespeare.

I know who I Am. I love and cherish my Life. I have very high standards and a solid set of values. I tolerate but do not spend time or energy with those who yield to ignorance, pretense, substance abuse, force, or meanness. I don't participate in anyone's avoidable 'real life dramas', though I have great compassion for the condition of our world.
To learn more about the many scripts and novels for which I have rights, or the specific film projects, slate, and so forth, feel free to visit my website:
vulcanawolfe.com
My bio is there, too. Please use the contact info on my website regarding any film, writing, or other business.
Below is 'Women in Art', an example of what I find truly beautiful and creative. If you wish to view it, be sure to pause the playlist in my Music section. The person who created it can be found here:

Who I'd like to meet:
Great minds. Soulful artists, filmmakers and writers, and anyone else who, while taming the ego, yet relishing Life and one's Self, recognizes the grand illusion of it all...
A NOTE ABOUT THE FRIENDS LISTS - Please read it all:
I try to regard everyone as a friend. I know many of the folks on my friends list. I enjoy my friends and correspondence from them, however I seldom have time to respond, but I try - as I am working or traveling.
IMPORTANT: I really prefer comments that have few graphics, (1 ideal, 3 tops). If you have something elevating or positive to say or show or share, I welcome it. I do not post comments that feature banner ads, political propaganda, dogmatic deceits or sex. I'm a professional artist and appreciate your recognizing that is why I am here. It is always truly refreshing when I meet truly like-minded folks who 'get it'.
All of us matter and I trust we are all contributing at our highest ability, thus I usually add those who send a friend request, especially filmmakers and other artists who are clearly creating something worthwhile. Ultimately, it comes down to something very simple, eh? With specific regard to:
WRITERS: I admire writers and welcome connections to anyone who writes or appreciates literature, screenplays, poetry, and so forth. I must note that I am wholly dedicated to an incredibly talented, very small group I call 'my' writers - these people are included below: Jason, Nelson, CJ, and Gary, primarily, with Noel, Randy, and Marcus also in the loop. I am committed to bringing their work to the screen and it'll likely take us through the next dozen years or so. I am able to consult periodically, and want to encourage others to keep writing! Write, write, rewrite, write!
Please do not ask me to read, analyze, edit or rewrite your screenplay, novel, short-stories and so forth UNLESS you are willing to pay my customary rates for such services.And thank you - in anticipation.
Considerations for co-productions evolve from high integrity relationships built with the best in the businesss, not empty wishes or pipe dreams.
ACTORS: I support your efforts, however please be aware casting through myspace would not give you the opportunity you are working so hard for. Yes, you may 'get lucky', but the usual routes serve you better. If we are ever in your area, we'll be sure to post notices.
MUSICIANS: I truly appreciate great music. If I personally like your music or think it might someday add value to our projects, I'll happily add you. Otherwise, please continue to seek out those who are better matches.
GROUPS: I know there are some great groups out there, but if you invite me into a group, please don't be offended, I simply don't have the time to participate meaningfully.
PRIVATE pages - I respect that, however please jot a note sharing something about who you are and why we are aligned as friends. Or I'll have no clear reason to have time for your profile.
Foremost, let us all be wise and authentic, and follow our dreams with intelligence and kindness intact.
Now that the owl-light--in the time between Dog and wolf, as some call it--ends, we wait As you alight on an unseen Branch to interrogate Its fruitful flower, petaled a hundredfold? Oh it is there, truth, with the poor blind prey Trembling with prescience or cold Waiting for how your way By overlooking nothing, overseeing In all the stillness hidden, tiny motions Squirming with the life of being Inferences and notions. With patient agency the beak and claws Of fierce sublime awareness pluck it clean Deriving what for us are laws Governing the unseen. Hope you are well my friend~ Enchanted Always! >>woof hugs<< _Wolfie_xo's
"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed, And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed: But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st, Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st, So long as we can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee." **WOOF** -lol- Happy Hump DAy** I'm Enchanted..always _Wolfie_xo's
Ciao my sweet friend, how are you?Your work is going well? I have so much to tell and you can just send a long message. For the moment you send big hugs. Much love Antonia glitter-graphics. com
