Support A Specific CEM project

Support : One Through Love or Beyond Translation

Support This Project

For ONE THROUGH LOVE: Jalaluddin Rumi meets Shams of Tabriz, we are expanding the project website by extending the range of featured "lovers". We are currently seeling funding to produce and edit new video sequences, each voiced by knowledgeable individuals from the USA, Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan, and other societies. Each new sequence will extend the range of Rumi's teachings in significant ways, contributing to a more multi-dimensional viewing experience. We plan to launch an outreach campaign to link our ONE THROUGH LOVE website with a wide range of sufi and other spiritual and educational organizations throughout the USA and the world.

We are also seeking support for the larger documentary film on the teachings of Jalaluddin Rumi and Shams of Tabriz, tentatively titled: BEYOND TRANSLATION: Jalaluddin Rumi meets Shams of Tabriz, which will be crafted from a complete, feature-length script, using some of the video segments presented on the ONE THROUGH LOVE webpage, along with other original animation and other film footage. BEYOND TRANSLATION: Jalaluddin Rumi meets Shams of Tabriz, will be a feature-length documentary film for theatrical presentation, international television broadcast and educational distribution.

Support : HEALING A Soldier's Heart

Support This Project

For HEALING A SOLDIER'S HEART, we are raising funds to finance the completion of a compelling, widely seen, feature-length documentary film for theatrical presentation, national television broadcast and grass-roots organizational outreach screenings.

Specifically, we are in need of funding to pay for the acquisition of compelling archive news footage from the Viet Nam war, to finance an original music score composed for the film, and support the final editing and sound mixing for the film. We are also seeking funding to pay for community screening.

Support : Global Spirit

Support This Project

For GLOBAL SPIRIT we plan on producing a number of new programs on different themes in 2010 and 2011. Each GLOBAL SPIRIT program currently costs approximately $50,000 to produce, including outreach, PR and website streaming. Each completed program will be integrated into the ongoing GLOBAL SPIRIT series for national broadcast on Link TV.
