 The Wizard of the Desert, An Alexander Vesely Film

 

            

Director Alexander Vesely joins us on Friday to talk to us about his new Film "Wizard of the Desert", produced by Noetic Films, Inc. in cooperation with The Milton H. Erickson Foundation.

 

The work of Milton H. Erickson, M.D., often referred to as “The Mozart of Communication,” shocked the scientific community with new and effective theories for therapeutic intervention, which even today defy scientific explanation. But it is his personal story that commands our initial attention.

 

How does a child born in the silver mining community of Aurum, Nevada, and soon to be ghost town at 7,500 feet above sea level, survive all odds after being stricken with polio to grow into the man destined to become an evolutionary genius in the fields of hypnosis and psychotherapy?

 

To overcome paralysis and chronic, debilitating pain and muscle wasting, Dr. Erickson ignored his doctor’s prognosis of helplessness and hopelessness, and went on to invent a protocol for hypnosis, which controls the mind, body and spirit. His exceptional work exposes his true genius and continues to lend hope and curative relief to vast numbers of patients through the hypnotic techniques he developed.

 

In “Wizard of the Desert,” we see an extraordinarily gifted and extremely disciplined man in a wheelchair, whose victories over severe pain, paralysis and life altering medical conditions continue to inspire awe long after his death. Uncompromising in the demands he placed on himself and his family, Dr. Erickson’s story redefined medical philosophies and continues to mesmerize students and audiences alike.

 

Through the eyes of those closest to him, our film reveals three dimensions of this unsung American genius whose contributions to modern psychotherapy and hypnosis forever memorialized him as the…”The Mozart of Communication; The Eccentric; and The Wounded Healer.”

______________________________

 

 

I started the film back in 2006 because I thought it would be a really interesting art project to follow myself as my walking got worse and worse from MS. I was inspired  by many artists, like performance artist Marina Abramović and video artist Vito Acconci. I wanted to tell the story of people going through MS because I just don’t think it had been done before and people need to see how it impacts the lives of those living with it. I discovered that in order to make a film such as this you have to have a rigorous tenacity; and I now possess this quality. Documentarians often want to build trust and acceptance with their subjects. Being the subject of my film, I don’t think I ever really had that acceptance.  Every night, I would have these dreams of being able to walk; and then I wake up and can’t move.  So there was always the internal struggle of putting myself on camera; and as I got worse and worse, reviewing the footage became difficult.

 

Filmmaking can be spontaneous, and as much I love directorial control I had to let the production call the shots and trust my collaborators. As a filmmaker who has shot all of my footage myself, it was hard to hand over directorial control over to my mother and even to my friends and other family members. We filmed from 2006-2013, and accumulated seven years worth of footage with a shooting ratio of 600:1. You can say were running, and editing, on twelve terabytes of footage.

 

WHEN I WALK shows a unique, first hand perspective on the transformation of becoming disabled. The first scene in the film is me on the beach with my family. What was sets out to be a nice family vacation, turned out to be the inciting incident. So even though I brought my camera along to film the family get together it ending up becoming something a lot more impactful. But it was also the very first time I had something go completely awry with my MS.

 

Life presents its challenges but the one thing that can be learned from the film is that you try and adapt to the challenges you’ve been given.
