The Search Is Not For What Is Missing, But For What Has Been Forgotten.
Dive into this cinematic experience that explores a unique interpretation of one of the only tenets of formal study in Zen Buddhism:
the 2000 year old...Ten Ox-Herding Paintings...
Critically acclaimed filmmaker Jer Sklar ("Tom of Your Life") brings you this visionary anthology film about a cast of odd ball characters living and working in the same mid-western university town, all whom have lost touch with their true nature.

This website will track all of the news and developments, showcasing the artistry and camaraderie that develops behind the scenes as we construct this film one short at a time, one year at a time.
There is also a place in which you can share your own canine experiences as well as your insights on The Ten Ox Herding Paintings.
Or perhaps you'd like to help us realize our vision as a financial investor? There's a place for that, too!
And so it begins...
