I feel the same about the poison in the news, social media feed... and the recent incident where the war hit too close to heart in my Druze community in the Golan Heights 😢
so hear me out cousin,
Bhutan _needs_ to be on your bucket list to travel someday. I went there back in 2015 and let me tell ya... its a whole other world (like you wont even believe) .. I mean right out of a Studio Ghibli movie (not sure if your a Miyazaki fan?) or Avatar The last Air bender
Walking around there in a place they call _the Land of Smiles_ you could easily picture yourself in an Air Nomad temple. And what more to say about a country that emphasizes Gross National Happiness ?
Looking forward to visit again G-d willing
any way keep your chin up Cousin, we will get through, we always do.
Cheers!
ok you got me super intrigued about Bhutan!! it was not on my radar but now it totally is! I'm a ghibli superfan hehe.
sending you so much love cousin
Loved this so much. I felt transported to wonderful places. You’re a born filmmaker.
Thank you so much Frieda!! I knew I wanted to work with film the moment I picked up my very first camera at age 8 hehe
1000% this is the content i love to watch. Honest, and striving for goodness. i go on my phone sometimes to feel good or have a laugh and end up getting sucked into evil content made by people who don’t seem to care about anything, except what party they can get into. Thank you for sharing the truth of what’s it’s like to be broken, unhappy, blind and hopeless, without giving up. it is painful,at first, to hold onto that tiny bit of hope or listen to that tiny voice of wisdom because it means looking at where you have landed, acknowledging the darkness. Eventually it becomes a fruitful pursuit of goodness. It’s worth it to see the light even if that bit of light just reminds you of everything you dont have. Eventually you will have all the evidence you need to reach the same conclusion as batsheva. The choice comes from you, but you aren’t alone in that choice. And when you make that choice, to see the good and spread it, you are making yourself (past and forward) proud, even when you’ve forgotten why you made the choice at all.
basically everything you said x100. It's so hard sometimes, to hold onto that light when the darkness is looming, but then inevitably the darkness ends, and you'll be able to appreciate the light so much more.
This was a great video Batsheva. I realized that whimsey is an important part of ones mental health. For instance, I started staying up watching late night anime on adult swim till 2 am because I wanted to capture the feeling when I was a tween and teen doing the same thing. I also go to my local cocktail bar to drink absinthe which makes me feel like a belle epoch writer, and have coffee at the diner before than to feel like a film noir character. Also a great thing about fashion, you can become a character in your own novel/anime/video game. My loving mother bought me a sixteen inch pair of lineman boots. In them I feel like a character from a fantasy fiction and sometimes like a soldier in a gritty scifi film. It also gets back to my college years when, me being a millenial hipster, i started waring flannel so now they also make me feel like a lumberjack. One last thing speaking of college. What affected me about october 7th wasn't just the antisemitic r@pe of nanjing equivelent that it was, but my friends from college denying it happened. These were the first friends I made since I was overmedicated at 10 and lost all my childhood friendships that way. But, what gives me hope, is I also remember 10/8. Every sunday I go to a lebanese restaurant for an arak and shish taouk brunch(I'm a baal teshuvah but I skip kashrut 2 days a week, that's between me and Hashem). On october 8th I went there and a morrocan waiter I made a friendship with paid for my arak as a show of solidarity with me. I also got tons of support from the friends I made outside of college. There are many much more good people in this world other than the loud radicalized filth that has the loudest voice. Much love and Am Yisrael Chai.
agreed, many more good people than the media lets on. and I love the little things you do to bring whimsy to your life!!
OH MY GOSH YOU ARE SO TALENTED!!! The score, the cinematography, the STORY! So, so, so good. More people need to see this!!
we building
beautiful, just beautiful, Batsheva!
watching this video made me want to look for the whimsy in my life, and not just for the pictures, but to really feel it inside. thank you!
you are so welcome
I can't even begin to express how happy this video made me! I have autism, which results in people treating me like a child even though I'm in my 20s, so I often have to "pretend to be normal" in order to be taken seriously, which is so depressing. But nobody is normal! We should all be free to embrace our childhood whimsy and never dull our sparkle for anyone!! This video is delightful, beautifully filmed, and honestly just really inspiring! I wish you best of luck reclaiming your joy!!
This was such a beautiful comment. Exactly, we must never dull our sparkle for anyone! I even need to remember that sometimes.
Your videos are a masterpiece!!!!😍
Feel like I'm watching a film you can feel the emotions and the deep thoughts so clearly.
these mini films must take so much time to and effort to put together! I'm sure there are times when you felt like giving up but let this comment be your sign that you are going in the right direction and you are incredibly talented.
may you continue to go from strength to strength!!
cannot wait for your next videos!!
looking forward x
thank you so much for this comment!!!! I too feel like I'm finally going in the right direction, and we're only building more from here
God, this video was so wonderful and light. As someone who has been trying to find their own whimsy in day-to-day life again and enjoy the little things, this really felt like warm soup for the soul. Thank you so much for all your work!
oh wow you are so welcome!!! a lot of cinematic vlogs can be so sad sometimes, but I'm like, some deep topics can be told in light and fluffy ways, while still giving over a deep message. what I tried to do at least hehe
@@BatshevaDueck. Anytime, gladly!! Oh absolutely hit the nail on the head there, approaching these kind of topics in a more positive and upbeat way makes the world of difference I think, and you did it so well!! Again, thank you for your work!
What a masterpiece! Getting the feels 🤍the inner child in us all thank you 🎉
tankuuuuu
Lovely! Thank you.
Wow this is beyond beautiful in so many different ways. I've always felt that peace is in the mind, not the place. Your videos bring back so much whimsy for me... memories of Boston and New England.... there is something about experiencing these places as a child that always sticks with you
Next, you need to eat a plum on Plum Island, a strawberry in Strawberry Hill 🍓 😂
what about crack in crack square ;)
Another amazing video! I always look forward to them.
thank you
You are so incredibly talented and lovely 🥰 Thank you for sharing your thoughts and gifts with the world 🩷💞
thank you so much!!!
💗💗💗@@BatshevaDueck.
Love, love,love ❤ keep the videos coming😊
Thank youuu!! Will do!!
Loved the sandy sandwhich in sandwich. Great video! Also the rock garden is such a cute idea!
my mouth didn't love it as much hahaha
Bravo my friend... bravo!

Hi! Today I went to the countryside. There is a big park with a palace and I wanted to visit the park. I have not been prepared either that the entrance to the park won't be free or the weather will be rainy (the forecast the day before hasn't shown that). I was quite enjoying the nature, landscapes and walking. And then. I've seen a heron! I'm not sure if I ever seen a heron before - but surely I've never seen it so close. It was such a magic moment that definitely made the whole day and the trip got its sense. The heron was white, slowly walking in the water with its long legs. Then it went to an island and was cleaning its feathering. And then it flew! I was able to got this moment on a video at my phone. After a while I was able to see it again. I've not expected that such a simple thing as birdwatching could make me so happy. On the other hand, if you on purpose would want to see a heron, where would you go? I have no clue!
what a beautiful story!!! Ive actually never seen a heron before. But there is such a magic to things not happening the way we've hoped, but then stumbling on something else entirely due to that. I did see a pregnant dove the other day hehe
Life really goes fast
Most people get older and get stuck in a 9 to 5, smoke and drink, only a handful maintain the same wonder and happiness of their youth. Into their old age. Getting older is a bit scary, you're losing people around you and becoming weaker and more frail.
its all about your mindset!
@@BatshevaDueck. I don't know about that, when you're in your 20s you have a lot of false hope, since you're still relatively young, when you get into your 30s and 40s and 50s, it just all goes down hill. Parents are likely going to pass away, friends going to be moving on with their lives, leaving you all on your own with massive nostalgia for your younger years, and lots of sadness and depression. Especially when your parents pass away, that leaves a massive hole in your heart. And you can't really be happy ever again like your younger years.
@@BatshevaDueck. All the older people I see around me, in the UK, smoke/drink hate their lives, makes me so scared about turning older and hitting my 30s or 40s or 50s.
What an incredible video! From the sound design to the b-roll to the story. Just wow. It was an honor to venture on a journey to sandwhich with you. Now I’m hungry 😂
Thank you Zach!!!! happy to have made you hungry ;D
thank you for this beautiful reminder to look for all the magic in the world around us
was a good reminder for me too
This was sooooo good. It’s funny because my fave book is also the book thief and the last line is how he’s haunted by humans 😅fits your video in that part
it's such a great last line
@@BatshevaDueck. And 7:30 eye open, such Disney princess vibes 😅
I LOVE the new style of your videos. Idk, did you really change something cinematic-wise? The vibe is different, and better.
thank you!! I'm finally able to shoot with my own voice and perspective, instead of trying to fit into a niche that didn't fit me anymore. makes a huge difference!
So lovely! Look into the new trend of 'romanticizing your life', it's a natural progression from your goals expressed in this video! :)
I love that trend!!
So relatable the sandy sandwich 😂
Loved the video. ❤
my mouth certainly did not love the sandy sandwich hahahah
Loved this Batsheva!!
thank youuu!!
Hi! Thank you so much for this nice video! really enjoyed it! Just wondering.... are you no longer shomer negiah?
@@Sarah-ri5dm nope I don’t keep kosher or shabbos or anything. Completely secular. Jokes, he reached out, I didn’t know what to do, debated on leaving it out, decided to keep the clip in. But ultimately it’s no one’s business but my own and Hashems what I choose to keep or not to keep. Though yes, I am shomer negiah. :)
@@BatshevaDueck. 😅nice good for you! keep making Hashem proud! thanks again for the video! I love your content! You are very talented♥
Btw sorry if I came across as invasive
Really beautiful video 😁 and I love that red dress!!!
thank you so much!!
Aw thank you ❤
thank YOU!!
@BatshevaDueck. can I ask you something? How do you get out of a slump when you're feeling unproductive? Cuz it's becoming a really difficult cycle for me this all Or nothing mentality
😻😻😻😻😻
❤❤❤
Sand in your sandwich in Sandwich 😔😮💨 lol
hehehehe
