Description of Under One Sky, Documentary Feature Film

A documentary written, directed and produced by Florence Ren Figueroa

“An Exploration on the Evolution Of Human Consciousness”.

​

The intention of the film is to present to the public, both young and old, an alternative look at opening and educating hearts and minds.  Regardless of our different cultural, religious or spiritual beliefs, we all live UNDER ONE SKY.

​

Film Concept:  From over the rainbow to UNDER ONE SKY, an alternative look to what you may think our lives are really about.  In our present day and age, for some, life has evolved beyond basic organic simplicity and for others, life has become unrecognizable, a shift in reality. This is a filmmaker’s true, 20-year journey, an exploration on the evolution of human consciousness.

​

It is a film about your consciousness, perception and “A Way of Being”. The viewers of this film will have an extra-sensory experience of sound and images that are vibrating at a frequency directed to the viewer’s pineal gland, intended to positively affect the viewer’s neurological, biological, and physiological systems in a positive, safe and fulfilling way. For the first time, UNDER ONE SKY will present to the world beyond one filmmaker’s perspective, an exploration of the most influential paths on enlightenment within history of mankind and some of the most influential people, teachers of our time. The audience’s journey through informative and sensual entertainment will result in a re-consideration on the definition of truth and consciousness. Truth is One; there are many paths to this One truth.

​

For The Masses: With the current trend of fear, negativity, over-sensitivity and over-reaction to miss-information, changing perceptions, personal orientation and freedoms, the world is ready for another shift.  This one is towards healing and change for the betterment of mankind, for the entire world.

​

​

Audience Appeal: The world’s fastest growing film genre is “New Consciousness”.  This is not a sectarian religious film but a film with universal appeal.  In the last ten years, we have seen and experienced the massive growth of Yoga and other alternative lifestyle modalities.  This growth is rapidly increasing. These and other similar subjects have repeatedly commanded the front page and lead story in all mainstream media.  In the last few years, Time magazine has dedicated numerous cover stories. From Oprah, Larry King, CNN and primetime news-based reality television to the principal, regular television and cable television networks including Netflix producing series and films.  The Secret, The DaVinci Code, Peaceful Warrior, and What The Bleep are films that continue to command worldwide attention and received respectable box-office. Searching for Sugar Man, Avatar, Crash, Conversations With God, The Last Mimzy, Knowing and the two Thrive documentaries and many other main-stream feature length films and documentaries have also arrived and have enjoyed critical, financial and industry acclaim.

​

The Cultural Creatives: The term, “cultural creative” born in 2000, describes a group of Western society that has developed by large as artists, writers, musicians, psychotherapists, alternative health care providers, feminists and other professionals that combine a serious focus on their spirituality with a strong passion for social activism.  Now, including Europe, the estimated figure has grown to over one billion. The audience IS ready.  Within this film, you will see rare interviews with widely known respected spiritual masters, their students who are now known teachers in their own right, best-selling authors, artists, thought and mind professionals, filmmakers and the lesser known, yet up and coming new teachers, the innovators. Although each interviewed subject has been asked the same list of questions, each segment is unique.

 

The Mass Appeal of The Cultural Creative: More than ever before, spiritual culture appears in pop culture. The principle demographic audience for this film begins with the  cultural-creatives; (who have more than tripled their numbers in the last recent years), to the individual person, people who are now ready for this shift of change. There are more than 500 popular local and national periodicals, including internet magazines in the U.S. alone that support the alternative or spiritual lifestyle. Not unlike the experience of a juicy peach, the subject of advancing one’s life will always maintain a fresh appeal because it contains one of the most sought after secrets of life: An expanded consciousness with increased joy and peace.
