"INTIMACY" takes an unflinching look at modern relationships with all
of their
hopes, dreams insecurities, and outdated self-sabotaging patterns. We
explore uncharted emotional waters with 5 subjects that offer up an
unusual blend of cutting edge philosophy, role modeling, ancient
Tantra secrets and some home spun common sense. This documentary
takes a provocative look at the nature of love and intimacy and offers
a unique vision.
INTIMACY
“What is this documentary really about?”
The base line of this piece is to explore and eventually to experience
TRUE INTIMACY with our loved ones in our life.
And yet we hardly ever seem to experience intimacy, and when or if we
do it is usually fleeting at best.
At the same time, we yearn for the long time promised companion to
save us from the mundane world - to catapult us into realms of magic,
bliss and the unknown. In other words - True Intimacy.
Being in a relationship - a romantic relationship is an opportunity to
be at the leading edge of your personal ~ transformational growth. In
this dynamic there is constant checking in with our selves, our
history, and any other separation between our belief systems and the
life we are actually leading. Can we “walk our talk”? A committed
relatiohip is one of the best barometers or feedback devices we have
going for us.
In this documentary we explore just that - relationships - in all forms
- and how our partner or our life is mirroring back our evolutionary
shifts in awareness, consciousness, and transformation.
We internally and externally struggle with issues of intimacy our whole
lives. When we can stop and look deeply enough we find that there is no
one there - no husband or wife or mother or father - no one's there -
just the universe mirroring back our own PRO-jections and RE-jections -
what we have labeled our “reality”.
Looking for answers and more importantly some really good questons, we
interviewed dozens of couples and a few individuals so that we can not
just understand - but rather experience the next level of personal
transformation.
Our intent is simple. To help open up concepts, ideas and ways of
relating that will assist in making our collective dream of TRUE
INTIMACY an EXPERIENCED REALITY.
Thank you for your interest.
All my best,
Joshua Townshend-Zellner
