Food for the Soul with Nina Heyn

“Food for the body is not enough. There must be food for the soul.” ~ Dorothy Day

This week on the Solari Report Nina Heyn and I take a deep dive on Food for the Soul - her bi-monthly column on film and art for the Solari Report - and her goals as our roving "culture scout."

Nina's interest in art and film developed in her role as a film publicist, an international marketing executive, and an entertainment writer in the United States, as well as Poland, England, and France.

Nina is the founder of Torus International, a marketing strategy solutions consultancy that specializes in entertainment marketing and film acquisition, particularly in international markets. Her recent activities in international markets included head of marketing at a leading Polish independent film distributor, an acquisitions consultant at a European exhibition and distribution company. In the United States, she was an executive in global publicity for a major film studio for many years.

Every year Nina watches hundreds of movies and TV shows and spends an inordinate amount of time in museums. This keeps her soul happy and the Solari Report full of fascinating coverage.

I joined Nina on the next leg of our celebration of Leonardo da Vinci's 500th Anniversary and Rembrandt's 350th Anniversary. Check out Nina's first column on Leonardo da Vinci - The Year of Da Vinci. After several days in Milan and an inspiring day seeing the All Rembrandt exhibit at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, our videographer Robert Dupper decided we should film our discussion traveling the canals of Amsterdam. Both Da Vinci and Rembrandt lived in cities crisscrossed with canals.
