Time is Art: The Frequency of Love
When a Brooklyn-born hip-hop artist decides to leave his home, his family and the ordinary world behind, he sets out on a journey to find harmony in a world out of rhythm. After the mysterious death of a mentor shakes his world, Rome’s music becomes more than art—it’s a lifeline, a spark for collective awakening. He must come to terms with the pain of being abandoned by his mother, challenge the systems built on silence and denial and tap into the vibrations of the universe, rewriting what it means to heal.
Blending documentary storytelling with poetic experimentation, the film unfolds as a nonlinear journey through music, grief, uncomfortable truths, cosmic philosophy, and artistic awakening. As Rome struggles with family skepticism, personal doubt, and the weight of his calling, he must decide whether his art can become more than expression—whether it can become transmission.

Time is Art: Synchronicity & the Collective Dream
The 2015 feature documentary film follows an aspiring writer who is compelled to make sense of the mysterious and powerful energy she felt at her aunt’s deathbed. A series of strange coincidences leads her on an exploration of synchronicity – the concept that everything is interconnected, and that time is not so much a chronology as it is an infinite cycle. Considering herself something of a skeptic, she treads the fine line between nervous breakdown and ecstatic revelation as she seeks out guides in her search for answers. Together, they explore a reality where time is transformed from a unit that can be measured and commodified -“Time is money”- to an experience of oneness with the natural rhythms of nature and the universe. It is here that the writer discovers that time is, in fact, art.
Visually captivating images of urban and natural landscapes, excerpts of Jennifer’s writing, and compelling conversations with fellow seekers Toko-Pa Turner, Richard Tarnas, Graham Hancock, Daniel Pinchbeck and biologist, Rupert Sheldrake, guide us through the underlying premise of the film: perhaps we can tap into a way of being that is not ruled by a finite sense of time as western materialist science promotes, but rather by the ability to live in harmony with the true creative nature of our existence.
