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: Amal - Feature Film (89min)
(Feature U.S. & Canada)
An auto-rickshaw driver is content with the small but vital role he serves — driving customers around New Delhi as quickly and safely as possible. A chance encounter with an eccentric, aging billionaire just may change both of their lives forever. Long-time Spiritual Cinema Circle members may remember the short version of Amal (Volume 4, 2005). After years of hard work and festival accolades, director Ritchie Mehta was able to finally turn the story into a feature film. CONTENT WARNING: Two brief incidents of violence. Written by Richie Mehta and Shaun Mehta, and directed by Richie Mehta
---> TITLE: Mythic Journeys - Feature Film (89min)
(Feature Outside of the U.S. & Canada)
“Who am I?” “What is my purpose?” “Why am I here?” The answers are in the myths that have been passed down from generation to generation around the world. Myths are the reservoir of human wisdom — the stories of life, and we are writing our own mythology as we live each day. This extraordinary multi-layered film features a myth told through stop-motion animation with puppets designed by internationally acclaimed artists and voiced by three iconic actors, Tim Curry, Mark Hamill and Lance Henriksen. Interwoven into the myth are inspiring interviews with Dr. Deepak Chopra, Reverend Michael Beckwith, Dr. Jean Shinoda Bolen and other luminaries. CONTENT WARNING: Some images may be disturbing for children. Written and directed by Steven and Whitney Boe
---> TITLE: Earano - Short Film (13min)
In this comic twist on the classic Cyrano de Bergerac tale, a shy, big-eared tutor named Earl longs for a romance with the lovely librarian Roxie. But the arrival of a hunky janitor puts a kink in Earl’s plans and sets into motion a sweet story of unrequited love. Written and directed by Luke Matheny
---> TITLE: Dance to the Offbeat - Short Film (12min)
After being humiliated in a hip-hop dance class, a young African-American woman discovers the world of rhythm-less dance: dancing with no rhythm and no beat. Inspired, she enters a “Rhythmless Dancing” competition, much to the dismay of her family. This comedy offers a lighthearted look at racial stereotypes. Written and directed by Tanisha White
---> TITLE: The Wind Fisherman - Short Film (12min)
Meet the hero of Gust Town, the windiest place on Earth. Just like his father and generations before him, the Wind Fisherman spends his day “fishing” for items blown away and returning them to their owners. Though wind fishing may be in his blood, is it in his heart? And will his curiosity sweep him away? Written and directed by Anna McRoberts

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.
