Great deep film!

I've known Paul Davids since Princeton and AFI days, and he just keeps on developing unique films. His special directing touch reveals character and theme effortlessly, enabling the viewer to relax and enjoy his films and at the same time, receive deep insights. The shamanic theme of his new film of course does run deep, and Paul has handled delicate spiritual themes very well here. Also, the Sedona Valley is a uniquely beautiful backdrop for the story. I also deeply valued the integration of an artist's life with the indigenous wisdom that shines through this film. I do hope this picture gets a wide audience!
