An interesting theme but commercially viable - I wonder?

He's hoping to attract funding for it. The idea seems good, giving a public platform for different areas of life, untried due to cost, yet should prove viable in helping the film industry expand. His approach to Spiritualism is honest with no doctrinal comment at all. Proof of the pudding, however.

I wish him well with his pitch for funding. He mentions Spiritualism a great deal but trans-dimensional communication isn't now only the province of Spiritualism. It's his personal starting point but it's not that way for everyone nowadays.

This movie project was also mentioned a couple of issues ago in Psychic News.

Apparently the investment capital is protected (70% of it is, anyway) by a government or private grant fund: so the downsize risk is decreased.

I just wonder how many individuals are interested sufficiently in the subject of the film to plough their cash into it. Even with a grant there remains the risk of losing nearly a third of your money if it goes belly up.

I guess time will tell....

. . . nothing ventured, nothing gained: and at least 2/3 of your investment is protected (assuming what he says is correct).

Personally I'm not going to put any money into the venture because all my few dollars are invested in my daily living! But if I had some money to invest: I'd put some money into the project.

I could put in money but won't as I don't see it a worthwhile venture.

Interesting idea.. hope he will make it and we will be able to enjoy it!

You could help him with the project.....

More people today will watch a movie than read a book, and independently-produced films are doing better than they used to. . . he might have something good in the works.

As I said, I'm not in a position to put my money where my hopes are. I'm too involved with divesting to be able to do any investing!

Actually watching movie is much more easier than reading a book I think.

And generally less time-consuming.

But I usually find books more rewarding.

Humans learn best in differing ways. Text, pictures, video, audio - any one or any combination of them. I prefer verbal presentations - I'm a listener and my focus is then at its sharpest.

Does anyone know how he's doing with the fund raising efforts?

Is this film release yet? I would like to watch it.
