Rite of the Shaman

I watched the film at the Utah film festival tonight. They really had a great message and the cinematography was outstanding. The acting was top notch for an indie film. With that said the acting was above par and each actor and actress should be proud what they accomplished on this film.

The story of Kai is one that resonated with me. Especially after the school shootings that have been happening around the country.

This film has you in your feelings but the soundtrack and graphics keep you optimistic. Very well done.

It's a film that the whole family will leave feeling uplifted and feeling good.

Go see this film!!! It will change your life!!!

The editing, phenomenal. The lighting, immaculate. The mood, the vibes, everything just sends chills down your spine. You can really feel with the characters. The way the emotions are portrayed through the lighting, the facial expressions, the atmosphere, its all just fantastic.

I saw this tonight for the Utah Film Festival and it'll take some time to process what I've seen. I may add more later. This is a gorgeous film with fantastic cinematography, acting, storyline and oh THAT SCORE. More than anything though it touched me deeply in ways I thought it wouldn't. The world is full of such negativity these days and when people are depressed, they push others, even their loved ones, away. But what would happen if we got the call to do the opposite? What would happen if we took the time to leave positive reviews instead of negative ones? What if our small acts of kindness made the biggest difference in people's lives? This one really made me think and probably will for some time.

This film is well executed. The characters do a wonderful job of drawing you in to cultivate a sense of connection. I cherish storylines that have deep meaning and films that surprise me within the storyline, and the Rite of the Shaman effortlessly ticks both boxes. This is a movie with a powerful message that is creatively woven into elements of fantasy.
