Crazy Wisdom Films:

Every generation when finding its own voice also rediscovers the teachers, mystics, geniuses, misfits, rebels, troublemakers from the past.  These films are the filmmaker’s gifts to remind us of those previous unruly mystics who stood strong, brave, open and everlasting awake, and who continue to inspire and challenge the status quo. Crazy Wisdom Films are rich in detail and inspire us through stories of others to discover our own remarkable potential.  Each film is crafted to be appealing to a multi-generational audience, from the twenty something-spiritual seekers to the gray-haired elder who seeks a deeper wisdom on the subject.  The films remind us of the common good and universal connection that we have to the earth and to spirit, and that connection that those are stronger and deeper than merely one nation, religion, race, class or gender.
