Based in Fairfield, Iowa, USA, Dare to Be Naïve Productions creates and supports imaginative projects that blend music, storytelling, illustration, color-harmony design, and communication.

Our mission is simple and radical: help people reconnect with the creativity, intuition, and inner truth that has the power to guide us into a more meaningful future.

For generations we’ve been told to be practical, stay realistic, keep up, and optimize ourselves at every turn. But speed isn’t the same as direction — and efficiency isn’t the same as purpose.

You don’t need to be more optimized.
You need to be more you.

We believe the world doesn’t just need more productivity —
it needs more sincerity, more imagination, more courage, more alignment.

Our work invites people to pause the cultural noise and tune into the deeper voice inside — the one that says:

• There is something you’re meant to express.

• There is a rhythm at which your life wants to move.

• There is a gift only you can bring.

• And the world is already waiting for it.

This isn’t irresponsible. It’s the most responsible thing you can do — because a planet in crisis needs people who are truly awake, and acting from that awareness.

Inspired by Buckminster Fuller’s wisdom —

“The things to do are the things that need doing, that you see need to be done, and that no one else seems to see need to be done.” — we follow ideas that feel alive, intuitive, and quietly revolutionary. We trust that sincerity and creativity can spark real change.

Our projects — including My Spell — celebrate expanded logic, heartfelt artistry, and the courage to bring authentic expression into a rapidly evolving world.

If you’re tired of being optimized, hurried, or talked out of your own instincts…
You’re in the right place.
Because we are too.

Dare to Be Naïve Productions, LLC exists to remind people that meaning matters, intuition matters, creativity matters —
and your life, exactly as you are, truly matters.

One of the original creators of My Spell, Tamara Belland, approaches life from a different direction than today’s optimization culture.

Her work isn’t shaped by formulas for success or productivity trends — it comes from intuition, reflection, and years of questioning paths that lead us away from who we truly are.

While many voices emphasize speed, scaling, and performance, her perspective was shaped through quieter lessons: listening inward, learning from what isn’t working in the world, studying wisdom traditions, and trusting inner guidance over external pressure.

Her background in music, visual art, storytelling, psychology, and a touch of science helps sharpen her clarity and broaden her imaginative way of seeing.

She also works with a circle of talented collaborators—musicians, illustrators, designers, editors, producers, and other creative specialists—whose contributions act like facets of a shared creative prism: each one adding color, dimension, and brilliance to her vision. Together, they help bring ideas to life in ways that are richer, more playful, and more expansive than any one person could create alone.

The result is work like My Spell: gentle, honest, and quietly radical — inviting you to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and consider a more meaningful way of living than the one we’re all pushed into.

If you’re tired of messages telling you to “do more,” “be more,” or “keep up”… this short film was made for you.
