How do you reclaim your purpose when everything feels lost? What does the creative process look like when confronted with facing your past trauma? These are some of the questions posited in BLESSED UNREST, a new documentary film by Baltimore-based production company, Bonnemaison, Inc. Narrated by acclaimed actress Rosemary Harris (Spiderman, Being Julia), BLESSED UNREST chronicles the life of Michael Dodds, a composer and musicologist, as he produces a symphony. This bird’s eye view of the creative process shows a side of symphonic production that is rarely, if ever, shared with audiences. For Michael, something was missing, something that could hold the answer to his personal fulfillment, and BLESSED UNREST shows how he is able to reclaim his purpose and create a symphony of celebration.
