Let me say that we got much less than we wanted but much more than anyone will ever get. Not to infringe on any rights, I will hold off on the final tally of Q&A until I know for sure what is happening next or until the movie comes out. Don't hate me. Work with me here.

As a fan I can safely say that I'm glad I was able to see Sir Arthur C. Clarke on his birthday under a full moon, make him laugh with a "I invented the satellite and all I got was this lousy T-shirt" T-shirt, make him cry with breathtaking images from here to the edge of the universe in the "What's out there?" picture book, and make him think about life and everything. As a filmmaker, I've much to do to bridge the gap between intelligence and spirituality.

Slim as it may be, there is still a chance that we will meet him again. I am talking to the UK agent. I am trying. I don't even know if Clarke will want it, if his family will allow it, or if he will have the time and energy for another fifteen minutes of filming. But God knows the world needs it.

If He or She is listening, now will be a good time to do something.

Time off

So we're playing the waiting game. Waiting for the UK agent to get back to us. Waiting for Clarke's secretary to get back to us. Waiting for the wheel to turn around. We're taking a few days off to explore the countryside and the myriad of cosmographic areas around Sri Lanka. These are places that are said to be gateways to another world.

In 1962 the Prime minister of India said that the time for war and politics is over and now is the time for Intelligence and Spirituality. It's been over 40 years and it seems that we are still barely scratching the surface. If Clarke won't speak, maybe he'll write to us and answer some of our questions. Otherwise, we'll have to start looking elsewhere for answers.

Fax to Mr. Clarke, Wednesday, December 28, 2005
From Lio Spiegler

This is a fax from Lio Spiegler, the Israeli with the "crazy space hair" that came to see you withhis friend less than 2 weeks ago. Your secretary suggested that the best way to receive answersfrom you is via fax.

When we first met you seemed eager to talk and we have made an appointment to meet the nextday. We have met on the 15th where I presented you with a funny T-shirt and a book with the most recent pictures from the outer limits of space. I hope you enjoy them. Unfortunately ourmeeting was extremely brief and I was only allowed 4 questions-hardly enough to satisfy mycuriosity or yours. Since I couldn't see you in the meantime, I have taken some time to travelaround the island you have made your home. I met some wonderful people and saw some amazing proof for human ingenuity. Most of all, the people I've met from Sri Lanka and abroad expressed a genuine desire to hear you and see you on film.

Mr. Clarke, as I said in my last email to you I am very interested in doing a documentary filmabout your remarkable life of firsts, beyond the satellite and Space Odyssey. I would like to frame this film around a series of timeless and timely questions-some of which you've heard when we spoke-that will bring viewers closer to your wonderful mind and, in the process, shed some lightabout the future of mankind. I hope you are interested as well.

I don't know if you've received my recent emails but I have been trying to arrange for anotherinterview with you. Unfortunately, neither your agents nor your secretaries have gotten back tome. I know that you, as they, must be busy with the holidays and that you tire easily but even 20minutes at a time would suffice to cover a lot of ground.
