Re-bel Visionary Music proudly presents the first independent video made by Singer, Writer, Editor, Producer and Director, Shirley Levi. A powerful, mystical and unique music video based on a woman's ability to passionately inspire magical and spiritually awakening events in common people she comes in contact with. The special powers she channels from G-D, and creation are manifested through the headphones she receives in the beginning of her journey on the streets from a homeless DJ. She transfers her inspiration and energy by zapping people with the headphone chord like a magic wand, inspiring them to dance and to feel empowered. The video was shot in the streets and metro of Hollywood representing the *city of angels* where dreams and imagination can come to life after a series of tests we must initially pass. *The woman's temptations play a big role in her tests. She fights to keep inspirational headphones on*. Her fierce velocity and determination of spreading her inspiration and message through music and creation is replenished by passing it on to others.

A surreal music video that is naturally animated and rich in it's cinematic experience. Most of the scenes are shot completely spontaneously to display the irony and message of the video in a realistic and naturally invoked setting. *Shirley Levi's mystical paintings are also featured throughout the video symbolizing running/existing in and out of the imagination.*

Shirley Levi's Autism Awareness campaign called, "MUSIC ON MY SHOULDER"

MISSION STATEMENT:

"I have a very special place in my heart for autism. I've made it my mission to use the undeniable power of MUSIC and ART to reach out to all people and help raise awareness about autism. I've learned much by working with such special people and feel that music and art can best portray their special qualities and spirit. They deserve to have a voice. I choose to focus on their abundance of beauty and special qualities rather than focusing on their social disabilities because that is what shines through in my eyes. I've created a painting called, "MUSIC ON MY SHOULDER", based on a sketch of a dove made by a very special autistic and ARTISTIC woman I worked with named, Anne Marie. I wanted her to witness her talent manifested into a tangible reality. Her gifts inspired me to see way beyond her social disability. I also wrote a song about her special spirit. I believe that my song, "Anne Marie" will help others see the spirit of autism in the same light as I do. Music and art are a powerful tool in helping raise awareness of issues that surround us every day yet remain unseen. Personally, I also really believe that we must give special attention to those who are ALREADY HERE with autism and help them to nurture their special gifts instead of treating and seeing them from just a cold, technical, and medical perspective. THEY ARE SPECIAL AND THEY ARE HERE. Every one of them that I've worked with has had a very unique gift.

While it is great that we look for a cure and look at preventative measures, we must also give special attention to those who are ALREADY HERE and make sure that we nurture their special gifts and praise them with special and positive attention. Another part of this campaign is that we also help family members and others who are not in the autistic community the opportunity to recognize all the positive gifts these very special people can contribute to our society. I plan on exposing their talents, especially musicians, and believe that *their gift/work will speak for itself*. That is the goal of my campaign." -Shirley Levi
