James Twyman releasing
new film and workshop: Into Me See
by Zenah Blair
A low-budget independent film called Indigo shocked Hollywood in January by becoming
one of the highest grossing films in North America. Now the writer and executive
producer of Indigo, James Twyman, is seeking to follow this amazing success with
his directorial debut in a feature film called Into Me See. Expectations are high,
and Twyman feels the movie is up to the challenge.
"This is a film every adult in the world will relate to in a very profound way,"
Twyman explained. "It's about what happens when our most profound relationships
explode around us, and the lessons we can learn if we just hold still and look within.
We usually believe that everything we experience is coming from the outside, but
true intimacy happens when we realize that we create everything we experience. Love
is an inside-out process."
Unlike Indigo, Twyman's newest film is more than a traditional movie. In June it
will be released through hundreds of New Thought churches around the world, along
with a follow-up workshop helping participants take the message even deeper. Along
with relationship guru Gay Hendricks, Twyman has developed processes that help everyone
get the most from the film.
"The movie opens them up and gets them ready to really look within," he
said. "It's the perfect time to take a peek inside and see what's there, all
the ways we hide from love. Once we realize the blocks, then we can release them."
Twyman is known as an internationally acclaimed author and peace troubadour, traveling
to many of the most dangerous places on earth to share his messages. He has been
invited by government leaders and peace organizations to countries such as Iraq,
Bosnia and Northern Ireland. His first book, Emissary of Light, has been translated
into over a dozen languages and continues to be a top seller. In recent years, however,
he has turned his attention to getting his message out through Spiritual cinema,
a phrase promoted by the director/producer of Indigo, Stephen Simon.
"Stephen has made an enormous impact on my life," Twyman said. " I
went to him over two years ago with the idea for Indigo and he was the first person
to see its incredible potential. He's been in the film business for almost 30 years,
and it's been a great gift to have him as a mentor, especially now that I've started
directing myself."
The words "Into Me See," spoken quickly, reveal the true meaning of this
film.
"Intimacy is the beginning and most important part of everything we do,"
Twyman said. "It's the real reason we're here, and we'll never be truly happy
until we understand where it comes from and how we keep it in our lives.
"This is one of those films that could end up touching millions of lives. I
hope it does, but that's not the real goal. I made it because I needed to learn these
lessons. They always say we teach best what we need to learn the most."
