Jose Oldenburg is a Miami based author and filmmaker whose work blends philosophy, cinematic craft, and heart.
Influenciado por las enseñanzas de los estoicos, Eckhart Tolle, Alan Watts y otros filósofos, José impregna sus historias con sabiduría y lecciones profundas. Su más reciente libro, Rosa María y el Cristal de los Deseos, continúa el legado de Horacio en el Viento, cautivando a los lectores con su narrativa imaginativa.
Más allá de la escritura, José es un cineasta profesional reconocido por crear acompañamientos auditivos cinematográficos para sus libros, dando vida a sus relatos de una forma completamente inmersiva.
Influenced by Stoic thinkers, Eckhart Tolle, Alan Watts, and filmmakers such as Guillermo del Toro, Jose weaves themes of life, death, presence, and letting go into stories that speak to children and the inner child in adults.
His books are nondenominational and designed to move families from fear to love.
Kirkus calls the series "A lushly illustrated tale series that underscores living fully, appreciating loved ones, and accepting loss."
