THE REVOLUTION OF MIND AND SPIRIT:

Message from the Director

The amount of money it takes to make the average film you see in the theaters

today amazes me.

Even after several years in this business I still can’t quite come to terms with it. The

millions of dollars spent on films can do so many other things, so many wonderful and

transformative things for people in our local communities, in our country, and around the

world in places like Haiti, for example. To waste money on filmmaking is a crime of the

soul. That’s why I take it so seriously. That’s why I feel a special responsibility as a

filmmaker. If I don’t believe in what I do 1000% percent, then all of the time, all of the

energy, the money, the resource, the people power is wasted.

Here in the United States we have the opportunity to spend our time and resource on entertainment. I’ve lived more than ten years outside this country, several of those years, if not the majority of those years has been spent in developing countries, or third world countries. A large percentage of the world’s population spends their energy and resource on survival, on feeding themselves. They don’t have clean drinking water, their lives are plagued with disease, illness, corruption, injustice, death and tyranny on a scale vastly greater than what we ever have to deal with here.

The reason I am so serious, the reason I feel responsible, is because we have the

opportunity, we have the liberty, we have the privilege to spend our time and resource -

forget about entertainment - on pioneering matters of the mind and spirit, on instruments of inspiration, on taking it higher, so to speak. We can draw from so many cultures, so much history, so much pain and anguish and beauty and wonderment and put all of that cumulative experience and knowledge together to do something great together, as a people, to take our consciousness en masse to a higher level. This is what filmmaking

means to me. This is what THE SCIENTIST means to me. This is why I write and direct.

If you are looking for some light and easy entertainment, THE SCIENTIST is not that.

It’s a serious film, with a serious message.
