Frank Ferrante is a 54-year old Sicilian from Brooklyn living in San Francisco. A lover of life, great food, beautiful women and a good laugh, Frank is also a drug addict, morbidly obese, pre-diabetic, and fighting Hepatitis C. He’s estranged from his daughter, single, and struggling with depression. Frank knows that life can be better than this, and is looking for a way out.

May I Be Frank documents the transformation of Frank Ferrante’s life. He unknowingly stumbles into a local restaurant in San Francisco, Café Gratitude, a raw, organic and vegan café. As he becomes friends with the staff, he keeps returning to the café where he feels welcomed and free from his collapsing personal life.

On one such visit, Frank is asked by Ryland, one of the servers, “What is one thing you want to do before you die?” Frank replies “I want to fall in love one more time, but no one will love me looking the way I do.” Inspired by the possibility of helping Frank, Ryland invites him to come into the café everyday for the next month. Armed with a camera and a wide open heart, Ryland soon enrolls his brother Cary, and Conor, his best friend, to participate in supporting Frank’s transformation.

The final agreement is made that for the next 42 days, Frank will turn his life over to three twenty-something young men committed to his healing and prepared to coach him physically, emotionally and spiritually. Frank will eat only raw food, practice gratitude, visit local holistic practitioners, and get a weekly colonic. Ryland, Conor, and Cary get to support and witness Frank’s miraculous transformation. Frank gets a new body, a clearer mind, and most importantly, a soaring spirit.

Over those 42 days, the four men go on the ride of their lives. Setting out to help Frank lose weight and get healthy, no one anticipated the profound impact this journey would have on the lives of countless others. Through Frank’s story of love, redemption, and transformation, the viewers witness the power of change for themselves and the world. May I Be Frank documents the essence of the human condition and what it truly means to fall in love again.

OCTOBER
GUEST TEACHER

Liz Boubion – Anna
Halprin Life/Art Process - Movement-Based
Expressive Arts

The
Halprin-Life/Art Process is a
Movement-Based Expressive Arts modality originated in the 1950′s by
Anna Halprin, who is among the first pioneers in the contemporary
Western world to use dance as a healing and transformative art. In the
1970′s, Daria Halprin further developed the artistic and therapeutic
aspects of this work and articulated the methodology that is currently
taught in the Tamalpa Institute.   Halprin
Practitioner and multi-disciplinary performance artist, Liz
Boubion from Oakland, CA. will be offering a taste of this
work inviting the expression of one’s internal
landscape in relation to Self, other and the group body
through movement, poetic dialog, and sound.  Liz will also be
offering a series of day-long Halprin workshops in Sebastopol in
November and December.
