A Note from Oprah: Beasts of the Southern Wild

Posted: Thu 08/23/2012 10:04 AM

Super Soul Sunday, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Oprah

This Sunday I'll be talking to the cast of BEASTS of THE SOUTHERN WILD. It's filled with levels of inspiration. First of all the story itself. But the daring perseverance it took to get the movie done on a wing, a prayer and a shoestring budget from a 29 year old director who'd never done it before is what I think is so awesome. Behn Zeitlin and his team created brilliance on screen. I remember weeks ago on Super Soul Sunday actor and Soul Pancake creator Rainn Wilson said there is no difference between being creative and being spiritual.

This movie hits a real spiritual nerve with 6 year old "Hushpuppy" as the main artery.

Can't say enough about it. That's why I'm doing a whole show on it. Hope you see the movie then watch the people who made it happen on Super Soul Sunday live on OWN and streamed around the world on Facebook and Oprah.com 11a ET/PT.
