Frank

When I think of somebody having a spiritual awakening, the image in my head does not look like Frank Ferrate, which just goes to show me. It is good to be reminded that anyone can choose to create their own life, from the inside out, at any time.

Frank's story is being documented on film. Here's the background:

All Frank Ferrate wants to do is fall in love one last time before he dies.

In the beginning Frank is a 290lb, 54 year old Sicilian from Brooklyn who has an unquenchable thirst for women, a tendency to create awkward moments and a knack for failure. He's got Hepititis C and is hooked on many medications including Interferon and anti-depressants. He drinks 10 espressos a day just to keep him awake. He is an ex-addict, he's accused of being a terrible father, a nasty ex-husband, a lousy brother, and he's a lost soul. Frank is never satisfied, he's always looking for the next quick fix. At least, that was Frank.
Until the day he stumbled into his long awaited awakening, disguised as Cafe Gratitude, a raw organic and vegan food restaurant in the sunset district of San Francisco. Here, Frank is offered something remarkable: another chance at his life. A conversation with Frank and a cafe waiter named Ryland results in the creation of an experiment: help Frank fall in love. The proposal: Frank will rediscover and recreate himself in just 42 days simply through what he eats and what he thinks.

If you go to www.mayIbeFrankmovie.com and click on the slice of pizza, you can watch the teaser which I think is such a treat, aside from the colonic reference (just a warning.) I can't wait to see what happens with Frank.
