Rich Reader
"Jelly Pilgrim"

Director’s Statement:
A dear departed friend was a healer, a teacher, a dreamer, a searcher, and a Huichol Indian shaman. He told me go forth into nature, to keep my heart open to what the spirits reveal, and to share that experience with the world. Thus “Jelly Pilgrim” came to be my first & only film, which is dedicated to the loving memory of Guadalupe Candelario.
