What they're saying ...
Plain Sense is an ambitious documentary film project that aims to celebrate and advance the work of Don Welch by weaving his poetry and teaching throughout the narrative of his life.
The project is ambitious because, in order to do justice to the poetic and philosophic heights Don reached, the production needs to inspire and transport, it needs to resonate and engage the imagination. In short, it needs to be poetic.
We believe that Don’s way of humble excellence, in his craft of poetry, and deep connection with people and place, is something that our culture needs to rediscover and fight to retain.
Borrowing from the title of Don’s book, “The Plain Sense Of Things,” the Plain Sense movie aims to continue Don’s life’s work. It seeks to help people see the Beauty, Truth, and Goodness that is right in front of them… if they are willing to take the time to see it and cultivate it.
