A Life Changing Adventure

"Goosechase" is the observational documentary of three monks living in a solitary Monastery north of Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. Tucked away in the rolling hills beside the LeHave River, the Monks of the Hermitage of the Annunciation spend their days praying, working, and studying. This is not a story about the individual Monks, but rather their way of life, and the Rule that guides their actions and thoughts as they go about their Holy Business. It touches upon the nearly mystical Annunciation of Mary, the methods they use to find peace and stillness, and the key theology of their order and faith. "Goosechase" was filmed, edited and produced by David Veldman. It was a Finalist in the Lunenburg 2021 Documentary Film Festival.
