Leap! into the new year Critics Picks by Amber Terrell (January 2009)

“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” The quote is from Albert Einstein in the early part of the twentieth century. The movie, Leap!, produced, written, and directed by Colorado filmmakers Isaac Allen and Chad Cameron, was inspired by that ancient and haunting question to which Dr. Einstein’s statement alludes: “Is the world literally an Illusion or is it just our perception that is the illusion?”

A blend of science, psychology, philosophy and spirituality, the film features interviews with more than twenty authors, speakers, and teachers who have touched on this elusive question in their own writings and work including Dan Millman (Peaceful Warrior), Gary Renard (The Disappearance Of The Universe), Fred Alan Wolf (The Yoga Of Time Travel), James Twyman (Emissary Of Light), and Puppetji (the enlightened puppet).

In Leap! Allen and Cameron have spared us yet another how-to-visualize-and-manifest-your-desires movie; instead they present a compelling invitation into those all important questions: What is real? What am I doing here? What is happiness? What is the ego? As each of the interviewees approaches these questions, a virtual smorgasbord of spiritual knowledge, often times profound is laid out before us.

Showings will be available throughout the Denver/Boulder/Ft Collins area in the coming weeks. Be sure to stay for the out-takes, very funny, and buy tickets ahead of time--the film has been selling out. Info and DVDs available at http://www.leapmovie.com.
