"While the Skillshare weekend offered a vigorous cataract of myriad artistic voices and socially-conscious community, much of my time at AZULE was spent alone, in contemplation, subtly responding to the rustic majesty of the cabin complex and the gorgeous Appalachian setting. I felt warmed by Camille's hospitality, inspired by her still-evolving architectural vision, and shielded from the distractions and stings of ordinary life. AZULE remains a very special oasis for thirsty creators."

"Down a winding two lane road in the Appalachian Mountains of Western North Carolina is an artists' retreat that is considered a work of art in itself..." Azule Imagine... follows the development of this new concept in artist's residencies that serves not only the artist but the surrounding community.
Produced by BBarash productions and ManojSepiastory.com, with music by Roger 'Hurricane' Wilson and Elise Witt.
