In our own small way, we move the world forward to positive light… to a new awareness, through the stories that we not only find, but that also find us.
They are drawn to us, as much as we are drawn to them, like a newborn sea turtle crawling towards the gentle fingers of water that reach out on the shore. The attraction is mutual, and inevitable.
“Tell it,” they whisper… “people must know… people will be changed, for good.”
So we begin to explore, with our meager resources, relentlessly pursuing the gems of truth found in the ore, locating the fine threads buried deep within the fabric of the past. We weave them together striving to create a magical, movie tapestry from scratch.
Our hope is that the moving images will MOVE people… motivate their minds and hearts.
Our passion drives us like that of a warrior in battle fighting for good over evil, or a scholar who aims to bring the transformative light of truth to her students.
We can’t rest until it is finished. We make sacrifices that don’t make sense to most, but are perfect in the eyes of fellow dreamers.
We pour over historical elements to carefully tell the story using each morsel of truth, each voice that testifies, each wonderful note of music, and all of the important images we can find.
We won’t rest until every piece is perfectly placed, and the story has a life of its own that brings a new awakening and inspiration to those who experience it.
