Bootlace Productions International

Bootlace Productions International (BPI) is a member-owned association serving as a breeding ground for like-minded artists, writers, creators and collaborators who share our unique and resolute brand of values.** ** Resolution of BPI values- Moderately dignified in our ways and altruistic to the core, we consider ourselves a band of ‘transcendental hedonists’ who favor: Unity across all forms of creation; Enlightened thought over material possessions; Rational discourse over the clatter of toxic political rhetoric; and a Profound appreciation for mother earth. Or… “U-ERP” for short. We’ve been labeled by some as a latter-day splinter group of the 18th century Transcendentalism movement inspired by German Philosopher Immanual Kant, and further evolved by the likes of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau and Margaret Fuller. We are bound together by mind-expanding experiences and the hopeful optimism of a world flush with common courtesy and basic human decency. We are a fearless bunch in our right to be indecent, vulgar and at times even obscene as a means of figuratively grabbing a stranger by the collar and saying, “Dude, is life living you, or are you living life?” Above all, we are tethered to the essential birthright of having the power of free will. As defined by Oxford Languages, free will is the capacity to act without the constraint of necessity or fate; the innate ability of all living things to act at one's own discretion.
