I got a chance to go to the Marina Del Rey Film Festival 
in Beverly Hills on Saturday. To see ...


Another beautiful Mike Anderson film, this one  about Kevin Suzuki and his Karate background and linage into origami art. Beautiful on the big screen and expertly produced by Mike Anderson who also comes from a strong Karate background. The colors of Kevin's art were stunning. I loved every minute. You can see the film here, but please imagine it on a big screen. This film has already beed accepted, along with Mike's outstanding earlier film on Demura Sensei, here, into the prestigious Tokyo Film Festival later this year. 



An hour and half drive each way from Orange County, and another hour for Michelle and Kevin to their home in Redlands, due to our LA traffic and then we were on the hunt for parking in Beverly Hills. We didn't stay for all of the movies, as they ran all day. But well worth the trip, thanks Michelle! On the way home, we drove at Las Mesitas in Old Town Tustin for a late, but delicious Mexican meal.


A lovely day, Thank you Michelle and Kevin!


* Mike Anderton's newest film, Painting the TempestScott Kennedy Maritime Artist, by Maverick Pictures and Mike Anderson in June 2026, view here.






Mexico just rewrote the story for hundreds of dolphins. Mexico freed hundreds of dolphins after banning marine animal shows
After a national ban on marine animal entertainment shows, Mexico began relocating hundreds of captive dolphins to more natural environments.
Animal rights groups have long criticized dolphin shows for keeping intelligent marine animals in small tanks for human entertainment.
The decision marked a huge milestone in marine conservation and sparked conversations about the ethics of wildlife attractions worldwide.
