Dream it So!

Licensing original music for television and movies – The journey has begun . . .
Regarding the Toltec Tarot Tunes project: Lesley dreams of writing the screenplay for the visual version of The Toltec Tarot Tunes slated for a possible You-Tube project, a Broadway play and a blockbuster Hollywood film with ALL the special effects-Avatar style. Dreams continue to go back in the studio and add instrumentation to the original Toltec Tarot Tunes CD as the soundtrack for this magical visual project. The overall visual idea is for the cards to come to life through magical transformations inspired by the ‘Living Playing Cards’ work of special effect Pioneer Geroge Melies of the 1930’s.
