Dear Filmmaker:

You’ve dreamed of making a difference with your films, of tapping into your deepest inspiration. The Conscious Media Institute (CMI) utilizes screenwriting workshops and contemplative creativity exercises to make those dreams a reality. Held adjacent to the Gaia Film Festival, CMI is also a forum within which filmmaking professionals can exchange wisdom from both sides of the camera.

For $900, this summer film and screenwriting program will provide you with an innovative educational experience that:

• includes an All-Access Two-Day Pass to the Gaia Film Festival ;


• provides you with the insights and techniques needed to ultimately manifest your vision in a well-distributed film;


• trains you in meditation and other inspiration-seeking techniques to receive inner guidance and an endless flow of great film ideas;


• provides you with the practical industry knowledge you will need to produce successful conscious films;


• connects you with the timeless creative heritage you share with prehistoric cave painters, artisans who designed the pyramids, and tribal shamans who performed their visions in the light of the fire;


• provides the option to receive academic credits (additional tuition applies);


• Opportunities for professional networking and interaction with leading industry artists, including:


• Stephen Simon (producer/director)
• Peter Russell (scientist/futurist)
• Gay Hendricks (psychologist/producer)
• Junior Burke (performer/screenwriter)
• Jirka Rysavy (CEO, Gaiam, Inc. - media distributor)

This intensive will deepen and enrich your life through in-depth exploration of the contributions your filmmaking can make to the emerging genre of "conscious media"-i.e., media that enlighten, inspire and entertain.
