The Conversation

What on Earth? is out on DVD!!! It’s an 81 minute feature film, plus great bonus material.

Here’s the beautiful new film website: http://WhatOnEarthTheMovie.com.

You people on the listserve get the posts I put on my blog, “Making Sense of These Times” (which is embedded in the site under BLOG), so there hasn’t been any need to be on the blog site. However, it’s something to look at now because there’s more there than these posts: http://TheConversation.org.

Do send me any Outside the Box Ideas (see Column Left).

I’m still looking at how to do the Diary, and, in the meantime, have directed you to sites (Column Right) to check in on the current season, which is quite sensational. Very unusual formations are coming in. Here are a couple of them:

I’m focused on getting this movie out to the world, and can use help. If you’d like to come to my house, in West Hollywood, California, to strategize, email me for an invitation. You’ll see the hour version, which isn’t on the DVD and is what likely would sell to television, plus have a great meal and meet trippy people. And if you aren’t close enough to come or aren’t a social animal but could help me get distribution, be in touch. I’d most like to get this film on television, where the largest number of people would see it. As the film says, “If we knew we were being visited it would make us into one humanity in relation to ‘the other,’…which could be what saves this civilization!”

And of course I’d be most appreciative if you would buy DVDs!!!!!

PS: Here’s the Press Release for the DVD:

WHAT ON EARTH? – AWARD-WINNING FEATURE DOCUMENTARY ABOUT THE CROP CIRCLE PHENOMENON NOW AVAILABLE ON DVD

LOS ANGELES, CA — What on Earth? — “Inside the Crop Circle Mystery,” an award-winning feature-length documentary film, has just been released on DVD.

A long time producer of events and projects having to do with our consciousness and our worldview, filmmaker Suzanne Taylor tracks her interactions, in England, over six summers, with an international community of visionary artists, scientists, philosophers, mathematicians, educators, writers, and farmers who marvel at crop circles.

The superstars of the film are the circles, which remain an unexplained global phenomenon that has puzzled humanity for centuries — the photography is awe-inspiring. A question that’s addressed by the interviewees is why something so startling and spectacular is largely ignored.

Circle enthusiasts, who converge in England every summer to go circle-chasing and indulge in circle analysis, talk about why they are so taken by this phenomenon. Evidence is presented that challenges the idea that all the glyphs are made by people, and the motives of hoaxers, who make some of the formations, is a subject for speculation. Interviewees also give viewpoints about who or what is delivering the formations that can’t be accounted for as coming from people, and why they are being created.

“The most startling revelations we get from the circles come from their shapes,” says a character in the movie. “Mathematical information encoded in them delivers a virtual curriculum in number and geometry.” Also, the circles are looked at as art, as instigators to reexamine ancient knowledge lost to a culture that has become separated from nature, and as coming from a source that is aware of us and delivering patterns that point to events on Earth as well as in response to whims and wishes of individuals and groups.

In the film, people speculate about what the effect would be if it were officially declared that the circles aren’t being made by people. “If that happened,” says Taylor, “it would get us thinking as one humanity in relation to ‘the other,’ which would be the best position from which to work cooperatively to solve the problems we all share.” Questions also are raised as to whether, if were we open to circlemakers who come from elsewhere, they might offer advanced technologies to help us as we run out of resources and heat up the planet.

The DVD of What on Earth? also contains outstanding bonus material. It includes commentary by researchers about their favorite circles; an alternative opening that delivers more information about the filmmaker; a moving eulogy about Pulitzer Prize winner, John Mack, a Harvard psychiatry professor who was enamored with the circles and is in the film; a music video of a crop circle song that’s in the soundtrack of the movie; and a gorgeous montage of circles.

After a preview screening in February, at the UFO Conference in Laughlin, Nevada,What on Earth? garnered the award in the conference film track for best feature documentary. In April, the movie was the only film shown at the X-Conference, in the Washington, DC area. The X-Conference is an annual gathering to address the politics and implications of the UFO/ET issue: exopolitics. Taylor will take the film to England, in July, for a screening at the Glastonbury Symposium, a major crop circle conference that’s held yearly.

It is the filmmaker’s hope that those in power turn their attention to the phenomenon to examine the available evidence. With our fingers in the dike to solve the pressing problems that challenge us on planet Earth, her hope is that the announcement of the reality of an ET engagement with us will shift the worldview that holds all our problems in place.
