Vancouver-based Hulo Films have teamed with Eckhart Tolle to create a progressive story about mindfulness and compassion in an equally progressive way, turning to Indiegogo’s crowdfunding platform to the protect the integrity of the message.
“Milton’s Secret matters because the world can be a scary place. Now is the moment for new images and models to meet the stresses and challenges of our increasingly chaotic world,” explains Bain, who also co-wrote the script.
Hulo Producer, Stephen Huszar adds, “We’re making a different kind of film in a different kind of way. We are fortunate to be associated with thought leaders like Eckhart Tolle and organizations such as The Dalai Lama Center with this new form of audience engagement allowing fans the opportunity to get involved with something that matters to them.”
Tolle is a film lover who has spent time talking to Hollywood on the merits of using film to expand awareness and transform consciousness. According to Tolle “Movies really have replaced what traditionally were mythologies– every culture had their mythological beliefs and their collective “stories” and there is now the possibility for movies to embody that arising new state of consciousness.
