Rite of the Shaman

This story is one that needs to be told in today's age of online bullying and hatred. The idea that kindness and mutual support really can lift us out of the darkness and self doubt is encouraging. May many lives be as touched as mine has!

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.

This movie is a beacon of hope and encouragement that is much needed in our world right now. The impact it had on me and my family is indescribable. We left the theater feeling enlightened with a new energy to life. To any of those out there feeling alone, different, helpless, confused, or even just want a movie you can take the whole family to without wondering what will pop up on the screen or be said, this is the perfect movie. Such an inspiration for change!

The cinematography was amazing and the lighting was great and the mood was fantastic. I felt all of the emotions. Their facial expressions conveyed their emotions phenomenally. Amazing movie it was so touching. The scenes were absolutely gorgeous as well.

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.
