Chasing the Present

Not only is the film BEAUTIFULLY shot, it's filled with relevant insights and a compelling storyline as we follow the protagonist through a relatable journey of self exploration. Wonderful film to watch!

I watched this films a couple of times and every time there are new moments that connect and punch through to what I have felt, sometimes was afraid to admit and what I feel now.

It has moments that I have felt through out my live and seeing all these people describe it to you makes you realise that its not just your own self that creates these feelings and that you are not the only one out there.

Stepping away from the message, its a beautiful shot film, the soundtrack, editing and composition drives you along and makes you want to explore yourself and the message and off course continue watching.

I did find our host very intense, at times I just wanted to say to him, dam it man smile, give me a moment to stop analysing. At times I felt it was a bit too much, no breathing space. I guess as the film sais - everyone wants to be happy and I felt the film didn't give you much room to do that.

Not many times a film touches you so closely because you felt the words so closely in yourself.

What ever you take away from it, it will make you ask yourself questions ......

What a beautiful film. From the moment the film starts you are taken on a journey of discovery with so many incredible points of view, lessons and magic moments along the way. The cinematography is breathtaking. A much needed film In a world where so many people seem to be suffering with mental health. Another amazing independent film that deserves to be supported.

I strongly believe humanity is in dire need for a spiritual revolution, and Chasing the Present provides a perfect jumping off point for that! It is a breath of fresh air for a world that is so wired into the system, and provides us with refreshingly simple answers to our biggest challenges we face. The style of camera shots and music score are both breathtaking, and James is so relatable you can't help but feel like you're taking the journey with him. This is definitely a must watch for everyone. Besides having a ridiculous amount of amazing content, it's just such a well made documentary to cap it off!

I really enjoyed this movie.

I found it interesting to watch someone be so vunerable with their desire to seek more information about anxiety and how possibly to conquer it. Find meaning and understanding of our existence here on earth.

I noticed the father was very uncomfortable and could not look his son in the eye. Seemed sad to me that James was sharing what he found to be a profound experience for himself with his father. But it seemed the father was very uncomfortable with it but he was trying hard especially with cameras to come off as listening and hearing his son . Just my opinion obviously... But maybe beyond his ability at this point to relate to James.

The film sparked great conversation with my boyfriend about our thoughts on the subject and movie.

We are all this journey to understand ourselves and experience life we really enjoyed it.
