New “EARTH SONGS” Documentary
Brian Luke Seaward has just released a beautiful new film about the healing powers of nature. (Narrated by Michael York!) It’s up to his usual standards, which is to say: high. You can preview it from the links on his website. (Just scroll down a bit and it’s on the right…
Here’s a bit of background:
As a first time filmmaker, I was extremely fortunate to have legendary actor, Michael York (Three Musketeers, Logan’s Run, Cabaret, Austin Powers), narrate the documentary for me, and equally fortunate to have Academy Award winning composer Brian Keane arrange the film’s musical score. Brian also enlisted the help of Ira Spiegel to do sound effects (Brian and Ira are considered THE “A Team” of Ken and Ric Burns PBS fame), and needless to say, they are now my “A Team” as well. What began as a documentary film has now become two (2) movies. The first is a 40 minute documentary film, narrated by renowned actor, Michael York and scored by Brian Keane. The second feature is a relaxing (healing) 55-minute meditation experience through an alchemy of breathtaking scenery set to an enchanting musical score by Grammy Award winning artists including Michael Hoppe, Secret Garden, Brian Keane, Keola Beamer and Craig Armstrong.
For over two years I have traveled to many of the world’s most pristine locations—Greenland, Patagonia, Hawaii, Iceland, Peru, Alaska, The Caribbean, New Zealand, and the Canadian Rockies—capturing the earth’s beauty in ways that are rarely seen. Inspired by decades of National Geographic specials, the BBC Planet Earth series and the majestic beauty of our terrestrial home, Earth Songs gently guides the viewer on a journey of ageless wisdom, inspiring poetry, and stunning footage of Mother Earth at her finest.
Earth Songs was made as a relaxation DVD for these troubled times. Like Seasons of the Heart, Earth Songs will be made available to hospitals across the country for in-house cable programming for cancer patients and the chronically ill. And… one dollar from the sale of each DVD will be donated to the American Cancer Society. I am also in the process of lining up some premier events across the country next year including Omaha, Jacksonville, Columbus, and Boulder (please see my the upcoming events page of my website for more details). There is also talk about airing Earth Songs on PBS… Fingers crossed on that one!
