Thoughtful commentaries... occasional rants
by Betsy Chasse
A lot of people have asked how we got the idea for the extended version of the movie, What the Bleep - Down the Rabbit Hole, which is due out in theaters in February. Here’s how it happened.
We listened to feedback from people as we were going around to the original movie’s openings … people were asking for more.
In February 2005, a year after Bleep’s release, we were going to the Bleep Conference in Santa Monica, California. Just for fun, we decided, “Hey. We're going to have all the scientists there. Let's interview them again now that the movie’s been out.” So we got everybody together and we re-interviewed them and asked, “What did we miss in the first movie? What did we do wrong? What did we do right? What scientific developments have come along since the movie? What's new?”
As we interviewed the scientists over again, we found out a lot more stuff. And because we had the sense that people wanted more information, we decided that audiences would really go for it. Both the book and Down the Rabbit Hole sort of became this next evolution adventure of ours. Just going back over the original interviews with fresh eyes was amazing. We have learned and experienced so much this last year we would go, “Wow, look at that!” Now we were able to understand what the scientists were saying. Click here for more

The rise of spiritual and transformational cinema
by Cate Montana
Stephen Simon directs Henry Czerny on the set of Conversations with God.
Since the releases of Indigo in 2003 and What the Bleep Do We Know!? in 2004 as well as the inception of the Spiritual Cinema Circle, it seems as if the morphogenic field of “spiritual cinema” has grown large enough to finally be recognized. Broad spectrum in approach and content, spiritual cinema is not religious cinema and usually avoids portraying accepted religious dogma or doctrines. Rather it addresses issues of love, death, rebirth, evolution and transformation in a wide variety of ways that include both feature and documentary styles. And lest you think that a “spiritual” movie might lack punch, think again. The depths of human psychology and emotion, our endeavors and our dreams, our greatest fears and our greatest hopes all provide fodder for this sensitive, developing genre.
