Admission: Contributions appriciated
The Ashland Spiritual Cinema Community (ASCC) is a collective of filmmakers and movie enthusiasts in the Southern Oregon region, who, in association with Hollywood producer and filmmaker Stephen Simon (What Dreams May Come, Somewhere In Time, Indigo) and in support of his vision, come together to celebrate, recognize, honor and promote the specific genre of Spiritual Cinema and to participate in the active development, presentation and discussion of this aspect of filmmaking and to further explore the positive effects this kind of cinema can generate in our lives and in the world around us.
The ASCC Filmmakers Forum:
Join us for a lively and engaging evening of dialog, discussion and co-creation of this exciting aspect of the Ashland Spiritual Cinema Community (ASCC).
These gatherings of the "Production & Filmmaking" stream of the ASCC, are aimed at co-creating an active and open dialog between entertainment media professionals in the region and other Community members in raising and discussing the possibilities for enhanced Spiritual Entertainment based production in the Ashland and Greater Rogue Valley area.
The ASCC Filmmakers Forum is targeted toward local area producers, directors, financiers, writers, actors, cinematographers, editors, videographers, musicians, production personnel, and other artists, technicians and professionals working in entertainment media or related fields in order to begin to pool our resources and establish directions and goals for this integral stream of the ASCC for the near future and the long term. Please feel free to invite any industry professionals who you feel would be interested in attending.
For our purposes "Spiritual Cinema & Entertainment" is defined as that :
"...which illuminates the landscape of our evolution as a humanity and stirs us to remember who we can be when we reach beyond the seen into a realm where we engage the magical aspects of our human potential & which includes theatrical motion pictures, television programs, documentaries, books, educational, training and special interest programming that is focused upon the re-discovery of inner wisdom and divine power..."
It is entertainment that asks the intriguing age old questions, "Who are we ? Why are we here ? And where are we going ?"
