THE GREATER CIRCULATION" (2005; 93 min., USA) a cinematic treatment of poet Rainer Maria Rilke's epic lament "Requiem For a Friend" (as translated by Stephen Mitchell).

I'm an indie filmmaker into dreams. This is my sixth feature fiction that I have directed and written the screenplay for. I am also featured as the voiceover of the poet Rilke. The film explores the power of dreams to inspire and scare the living daylights back into us. Dreams and how they act on our conscious waking lives has always fascinated me, especially those influences that carry on from the dream world into the creation of art, poetry and cinema. In my own dreams, I have been shown how the only art that comes from "conscious mind" is dead art. My aim in making films is to bring something of what dreams have shown me back into the world of people. You can see an example of what I mean at this clip:
