Rojas"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Alex K. Rojas is a renowned American\nproducer and humanitarian. \u201cParivara\u201d marks his first work as a director\nalongside Alex Lora-Cercos. His other notable work includes \u201cThe Garden Left Behind\u201d available on Amazon Prime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside of his global work on\nbehalf of several charities and causes which benefit children and those\naffected by human trafficking, he helped found the \u201cSamarpan Foundation\u201d\n(\u201cUnconditional Service\u201d in Sanskrit), a 501c non-governmental agency based in\nNepal.&nbsp; The Samarpan Foundation carries\nout several initiatives to better the lives of children, women affected by\nsexual slavery, the elderly, and the disabled. \u201cParivara\u201d is based on several\nof the children\u2019s stories in the Goldungha Orphanage for the Blind which\nSamarpan helps maintain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>As a\nProducer, how involved in the writing of a project do you get? Are you more\ninvolved in the initial development?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alex K.\nRojas: <\/strong>Every project is completely\ndifferent. Some are closer to your heart and you end up doing everything on\nthem, they become your literal babies. You do the dreaming, the writing,\ndirecting, casting, camera, and so on like &#8211; \u201cParivara\u201d. Others which are more\nmainstream such as \u201cThe Garden Left Behind,\u201d now streaming on Amazon Prime at\nthe moment. I usually become intricately involved with at the beginning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I help build the foundation necessary to allow everyone to\nstretch their creative voices and shine along with helping put together the\nright mix of talents to help a story reach its intended goal. I feel anything\nyou work on whether it gives you money or joy is an energetic choice for what\nstories and voices you would like to be out there and in here (heart). It is\nall consciousness<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When was\nyour debut as a film director? Can you tell us more about your debut film?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alex K. Rojas: <\/strong>Again, you are very kind. I don\u2019t see myself as a director,\nbut I did direct a few short films (available on iTunes and Amazon) under a\npseudonym while dipping my toe in the entertainment world. I didn\u2019t really get\nthe nerve to \u201cdirect\u201d until there was a story too close to my heart that I felt\nhadn\u2019t been told yet, so I roped in my good friend Alex Lora and we went to\nwork. The story was basically a composite of several of the blind orphans in\none of the orphanages my NGO foundation supports. We think how sad they must\nbe, thrown away by their families due to their handicap, blind and unable to\nsee the world &#8211; it\u2019s the complete opposite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In\nmy experience I found they were some of the happiest people ever. They took so\nmuch joy in the little things and feeling lucky to be around others like them,\nthey formed their own little family, that is what \u201cParivara\u201d means. Also, the\nfilm helped people within Nepal see the world through these children\u2019s eyes,\nthey even gave them lifetime scholarships after the film\nplayed at the human rights festival there. All of the proceeds from the project\non different platforms go directly for their support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What are some of your recent film projects?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alex K.\nRojas: <\/strong>Lately it has been my mission to\nhelp different female directors get their work and voices out there via\nmentorships and putting my production experience behind them 100%. There is\nthis ugly stereotype of the entertainment industry after the #METOO movement in\nrelation to men, that if they are helping women it is only because they are\ngetting some sort of physical quid pro quo. If there is something wrong or that\ncould hurt others, Yes! Definitely speak out so others aren\u2019t hurt as well, but\nthere are many people out there who genuinely want to help others share their\nstories without wanting something in return. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is the love of art, the love of people, the love of community, and so on. My other big thing right now is to steward and develop any projects which help mother earth. This includes several narratives, and documentaries which hope to change the way we see our relationship with her. We can\u2019t wait for people to figure it out when they are choking in their own garbage and have nothing left to eat &#8211; we have to make it crystal clear that there is a right way of asking mother earth for her forgiveness and establishing a more sustainable future for all of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nyglamour.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Alex-K.-Rojas-_-New-York_-Photo-Credit-Natalya-Lazareva-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8847\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nyglamour.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Alex-K.-Rojas-_-New-York_-Photo-Credit-Natalya-Lazareva-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nyglamour.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Alex-K.-Rojas-_-New-York_-Photo-Credit-Natalya-Lazareva-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nyglamour.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Alex-K.-Rojas-_-New-York_-Photo-Credit-Natalya-Lazareva-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nyglamour.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Alex-K.-Rojas-_-New-York_-Photo-Credit-Natalya-Lazareva-696x463.jpg 696w, https:\/\/nyglamour.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Alex-K.-Rojas-_-New-York_-Photo-Credit-Natalya-Lazareva-1068x711.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/nyglamour.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Alex-K.-Rojas-_-New-York_-Photo-Credit-Natalya-Lazareva-631x420.jpg 631w, https:\/\/nyglamour.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Alex-K.-Rojas-_-New-York_-Photo-Credit-Natalya-Lazareva-1920x1278.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/nyglamour.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Alex-K.-Rojas-_-New-York_-Photo-Credit-Natalya-Lazareva.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Alex K. Rojas, Photo Credit Natalya Lazareva<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What lessons\nhave you learned beyond art in terms of the business side and how the industry\nworks?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alex K. Rojas: <\/strong>This could seriously be a university course, so I\u2019ll keep it\ngeneral. First off, there are many ways to skin a cat. Imagine how many\nprojects wouldn\u2019t have gotten made if people waited for someone to give them\ntheir multi-million-dollar budgets! Production is many things to many different\npeople, but the main lesson my experience has taught me is that it\u2019s all about\n\u201cget \u2018er done\u201d. Get the money, get the people, keep everyone on point and\nmoving towards the same goal. Communicate clearly, have clear logistics for how\neverything is going to get done, what to do if it doesn\u2019t get done, and so on.\nAbove all, have fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How has\nCovid-19 impacted the film industry and life in general in your city? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alex K.\nRojas: <\/strong>New York. I love you. \u201cCovid-19 New\nYork\u201d is so different from \u201cPre-covid-19 New York\u201d. It\u2019s like a depressed child\nwho no one wants around, it\u2019s empty, the people cannot come together, the\n\u201cenergy\u201d is gone. This mass sway of life and excitement, she is sleeping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have been experimenting on creating a machine which\ndisperses a water based neutralizing agent for use indoors so people can gather\nagain which one day maybe used in the same way I saw as in my dream, but I saw\nthe year for that would be 2023, and everyone wants this pandemic to already to\nbe a thing of the past. Ask yourself, what do HIV and Covid-19 have in common?\n1. Do they target specific populations? 2. Does the pharma trail point to the\nfirst vaccine coming out of the same place it had actually \u201coriginated\u201d? 3. Who\nbenefits from all of this fear of the enemy you cannot see? 4. What is all this\nfear and restriction doing to our culture (art, music, creativity) and coming\ntogether?<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can you tell\nus more about what motivated the CEVSP Covid-19 vaccine project? Can you talk\nabout the important of this program and how it is helping people?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alex K. Rojas: <\/strong>In terms of the \u200bCovid-19\nEnergetic Vaccine\/CEV program, the motivation for it? Everything I listed above\nis a pretty good motivation don\u2019t you think? I wanted to do something about it\nwhen I first learned about it in January. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was ahead\nof everyone else watching it spread in China, I made the initial predictions\nand algorithms for my work in terms of when it would hit the US and Europe, the\nlockdowns, peaks, city openings, and so on, down to the day. No one listened,\nactually no, they listened enough to want more and build a system around it. In\nthe course of my work predicting how the virus would affect critical\ninfrastructure In March of 2020, I was introduced to Dr. Savely Yurkovsky. He\nhad a physics based approach to the COVID-19 Issue which was successful in\nterms of preventing and treating the symptoms as presented in this article in\nthe Journal of Infectious Diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I tried\nseveral avenues during 2020 to have medical personnel or decision makers within\nmy sphere look at this &#8211; here was a way to prevent COVID-19 and treat it at the\nsame time &#8211; without any side effects &#8211; for FREE! The science was sound and\nbuilt on frequency and energy instead of chemicals. Being an avid tinkerer\nprimarily repurposing ancient technologies, dna, and quantum physics, I\nrecalled one of Nikola Tesla\u2019s most important lessons \u200b\u201cIf you want to find the secrets of the\nuniverse, think in terms of energy, \u200bfrequency\u200band\nvibration.\u201d \u200bNo one wanted to listen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless you\nwere a PHD with 20 years of Coronavirus experience, no one wanted to pay\nattention. Albert Einstein, who wasn\u2019t even a scientist at the time he penned\nhis paper on the theory of relativity (he was a patent clerk) was treated with\nthe same extreme suspicion and skepticism, and now his work forms one of the\ntwo pillars of modern physics. This is the same way our leaders are treating\nthis pandemic, letting pharmaceutical science \u201ctreat\u201d the pandemic as they see\nbest. What\u2019s the problem with this? Pharmaceutical Science is a business above all\n&#8211; one can argue it\u2019s good business to keep you sick as long as you pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We all\nremember how much fun it was seeing the state and federal governments at each\nother\u2019s throats during 2020 about all things Covid-19. If the Federal\ngovernment listened to me it might be the same thing and it could take months\nto get something going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No\ngovernment is going to stop you if you want to try something on yourself, your\nfamily, and a few of your closest friends. This is how the Covid-19 Energetic\nVaccine\/CEV program started. To date 62 people have been vaccinated or treated\nfor Covid-19 symptoms (48 hr turnaround) and have the antibodies to<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>prove they are immune. I am one of them, and the program is endorsed by\na former head of NASA, and a Nobel prize winning physicist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both myself and Dr. Yurkovsky would like to help as many people as possible.\nHe\u2019s praying for Oprah, I\u2019m just saying if anything happens to us like those\nfree energy guys &#8211; it was not an accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who are you collaborating with in the Covid program? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alex K.
