* NOVEMBER / DECEMBER 2009 - SPIRITUAL FILMS
If ordered before 20 December 2009
This month we have four amazing and thought provoking films. Make sure you promote these wonderful new films to your members, email lists, and site visitors.
---> TITLE: Ocean of Pearls - Feature Film (97min)
This brilliant first feature from Sarab Neelam, M.D. depicts the universal quest for identity. As a Sikh in North America, Dr. Amrit Singh is of two worlds, but belongs to neither. “To my father, the turban is an article of faith,” says Amrit. “To me, it means I better make damned sure I'm not late for my flight.” When he is offered a prestigious position at a Detroit hospital, the young surgeon sees an opportunity to start fresh, only to discover that his appearance may threaten his success. What happens when our dreams seem to clash with our heritage? Perhaps it is through the collusion of the old ways and the new that we find out who we are. Written and directed by Sarab Neelam
---> TITLE: The Umbrella - Short Film (3min)
Set in a metropolitan setting, this short film follows the unexpected adventures of a blind man’s umbrella. It passes through the hands of several pedestrians before ultimately illustrating the adage “what goes around, comes around.” No dialogue. Written and directed by Aashni Shah.
---> TITLE: Charlie Thistle - Short Film (15min)
Charlie Thistle is a bureaucrat who has worked 20 years at the Department of Normality, where change is not tolerated. One gray day fades into the next until one night he wrestles with the question, “Is this the way things were meant to be?” He dreams of a world in color, where animals speak and trees grow indoors. There comes a time in every man’s life when he has to stand up for what he believes in, and Charlie’s day is coming! Written and directed by Bragi Schut.
---> TITLE: The Gift: Episode 3 - Short Film (16min)
In the last installment of our original three-part series, Bonnie begins using a camera as Eela and Eno have taught her, offering Hailey a life-changing opportunity. Is it possible that the camera truly holds the creative, healing power of the ancient Lemurian dreamers? See how this beautifully crafted short series comes to completion, in a stellar wrap-up of The Gift. Written and directed by Scott Cervine.
___________________________________________________________________
Did you know that less than 1% of all the independent films (those made without any studio financing) actually make it into theaters? This means that there are lots of wonderful, creative films that are rarely seen…..until now.
The Spiritual Cinema Circle, America’s fastest growing DVD club, searches film festivals around the world for inspiring features, documentaries and short films.
Right now, I want to let you know about an opportunity to see a very special collection of independent films that you can share with the entire family, especially your children (or grandchildren!). You can receive these films for FREE with a nominal shipping charge.
All of these films are sure to open some very deep and stimulating conversations with children of every age. New subscribers to the Spiritual Cinema Circle will receive a free DVD containing these four films (for a nominal shipping fee) if you sign up before August 14th, 2008.

About Spiritual Cinema Circle
The Spiritual Cinema Circle originally grew out of collaboration between film producer Stephen Simon and psychologists Kathlyn and Gay Hendricks. Stephen had produced many beloved movies with spiritual themes, such as "Somewhere In Time" and "What Dreams May Come," and had given hundreds of talks and seminars on the emerging genre of Spiritual Cinema. During that time The Hendricks had created a non-profit foundation dedicated to creating a new consciousness in mass media.
More Than Movies
Unlike rental services, the DVDs you receive through Spiritual Cinema Circle are yours to keep. You never have to return anything, and you may cancel at any time.
Plus, when you join our Circle you join a community of people who want to make a difference in the world and their lives through the choices they make. Discuss the films on our members-only site to deepen your experience and get exclusive insight from the filmmakers behind them. And help give future independent filmmakers a voice for the meaningful messages that rarely get an audience.
