FEAR OF FLYING. Short film about a bird who tries to avoid flying South for the winter.

FEAR / LOVE. Three lives, three identities, three points of view. Set against the harsh backdrop of inner city London, Fear/Love interweaves the lives of three adolescents as they struggle with who they are, who they want to be and who they are becoming.

FIGHT OR FLIGHT OR WHATEVER * Story by Rob Norman

Some nice quotes about fear from artists:

I am the first to be surprised and often terrified by the images that I see appear on my canvas. (Salvador Dali)

The aim is to balance the terror of being alive with the wonder of being alive. (Carlos Castaneda)

Fear is very often a part of the spiritual path. When people sit down and meditate, it's not at all uncommon for fear to arise at some point. (Adyashanti)

There are times when fear is good. It must keep its watchful place at the heart's controls. (Aeschylus)

Fear melts when you take action toward a goal you really want. (Robert G. Allen)

If you think too much and fail to take action, fear makes its home within you. (Anonymous)

It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live. 
(Marcus Aurelius)

Sometimes being naked with fear is a good experience. It teaches us a lot about ourselves and about life. It is scary but it awakens us. (Leo Babauta) 

It is a miserable state of mind to have few things to desire and many things to fear. 
(Francis Bacon)

There's a terror in knowing what the world is about. (David Bowie)

Wash your hands in dreams and lightning, cut your hair, and whatever is frightening. 
(Paul Simon)

No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear. (Edmund Burke) 

The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek. (Joseph Campbell)

One has a prejudice wherever one fears a transformation. (Elias Canetti)

You can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind. (Dale Carnegie)

Don't give in to your fears. If you do, you won't be able to talk to your heart.
(Paulo Coelho)

The death of fear is in doing what you fear to do. (Sequichie Comingdeer)

Stop being afraid of the fear and, instead, use it as a motivator, the same way you use joy. Grab hold of it, look it in the face and conquer it. Put it on canvas. (Sharon Cory)

Everybody in their own imagination decides what scary is. (Yvonne Craig)

Creative action plays with the unknown. But as the child fears the dark... the adult child will be fearful too, faced with the dark world of the unknown mind, with vast concepts looking enormous just beyond the front yard. (Arthur Deikman)

Taking a new step, uttering a new word is what people fear most. (Fyodor Dostoevski)

He has not learned the lesson of life who does not every day surmount a fear. (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

The two terrors that discourage originality and creative living are fear of public opinion and undue reverence for one's own consistency. (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

Only the unknown frightens men. (Antoine de Saint Exupery)

Fear of failure. Fear of success. Fear of competition... Fear of being an imposter. Fear of not being paid. Fear of being paid... Fear of the unknown. Fear of commitment... Fear of wasting time. Fear of irrelevance. Fear of fear itself. Pop, pop, pop. (Robert Genn)

Is it logical that anybody should be expected to be afraid of the work that they feel they were put on this Earth to do? (Elizabeth Gilbert)

You are only afraid if you are not in harmony with yourself. People are afraid because they have never owned up to themselves. (Hermann Hesse) 

Even when I have to write a simple letter I'm scared stiff, as if faced with looming seasickness. (Gustav Klimt)

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you Not to be? (Nelson Mandela)

We fear to know the fearsome and unsavory aspects of ourselves, but we fear even more to know the godlike in ourselves. (Abraham Maslow)

Love is full of anxious fears. (Ovid)

Courage is knowing what not to fear. (Plato)

To fear to face an issue is to believe the worst is true. (Ayn Rand)

Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love. (Rainer Maria Rilke)

Every day do something that frightens you. (Eleanor Roosevelt)

I died as a mineral, and became a plant. I died as plant and rose to animal. I died as animal and I was Man. Why should I fear? When was I less by dying? (Rumi)

You have to learn how to be in scary areas, make those comfortable, then go to the next scary area and make it comfortable... (Linda Seger)

There is no good product of fear. (John Steinbeck)

Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened, but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm. (Robert Louis Stevenson)
