~ about Richard Chu, Creative Director of The Ripplestone Project ~

In lieu of a 'bio' (I'm not important - you and your support of our cause are):

For your early support of our -Early Breast Cancer Detection Saves Lives- cause in purchasing this one-time edition, you will be listed as a Angel benefactor in the photobook and invited to the "Angels & Butterflies" Ball at the private members-only fin-de-siecle O Mansion (http://www.omansion.com/membership/).

Although, like Groucho Marx, 'I don't want to join a club that would have ME as a member' ;), I've been a member of the O Mansion since 2007, where 'Angel Spirits Soar' as when I asked the mysterious proprietor, who goes by the single-syllable H and seems to float barefoot on the 20-chandeliered ballroom with her cherubic blonde kids in tow, what I should wear to the members functions, she replied "just don't show up naked" - ahhh, my kinda joint!

She related to me that once a un-named well known film director (guest list is never divulged) stayed there to convalesce from a seemingly unbreachable writer's block working on his breakthrough screenplay and was awoken at midnight by a 'angelic apparition' that hovered radiantly in the room 's rafter. The next day, he completed the script in one sitting.

I'm a indie filmmaker who had made three short films, "Return of Cicadas", "Eros" (dcist.com/2005/08/doin_it_in_the_.php), and "The Wish of Harriet", who is working on my first feature screenplay, "Blondes", a horror thriller set backward and forward in times that shed light on how the imperialistic malfeasance of the U.S. administration during the Vietnam War, in its arrogance and horrific misdeeds, left behind "blood childrens", one of whom in this story exacts carthatic revenge against the "Blondes" that raped her prideful purity and ravaged the culture of her innocent upbringing. Like that director, I'm beset with writer's block and am there to seek the grace of my angel

... I'm just casting a tiny pebble of compassionate humanity for those in the shadows of life and am surprised by how far and wide its ripples reach, giving more than I could have ever imagined, and receiving more in the growth of my humanity, and humility, than I could have ever known ...
