      Documenting this trend, and promoting this film, has the power to be a kind of "amplifier" that can accelerate the trend. This is a worthwhile cause. Final push. If you can think of anyone else that would be interested in supporting this, please connect with them.

      I saw your post on JackRabbit Speaks. I would try to screen your film near where the healing camps are, HeeBeeGeeBee healers come to my mind. This would be perfectly inline with your film. Also videogasm is another camp, film's are their thing. http://www.videogasm.com/burningman/2011/ Plus I am happy to screen your film at my camp, although I will have to project it onto my teepee.

      The 2011-2012 experiences are morphing, the uprisings are building, the energy shift to the people on this planet to reclaim what is theirs from misguided powers. So many of us in understanding our role ON and in connection WITH the earth - this satellite we call home. The blossom of consciousness doing what is right. I praise ALL projects and missions that help us in remembering who we are and why we are here.

      From a very early age there was something about this particular sound / scene that drew me towards it and made me feel like it was the very thing that would define my life and allow me to grow... and Its has! After many years of listening to EDM I learned how to craft environments, emotions, and energy... bend them to my will or rather the cosmic will. I'm from Vancouver, BC, Canada and I am a local Trance DJ here.

      My spiritual awakening started with EDM, which allowed me to question my reality and explore the true nature of things. Never have I seen someone try and bridge these two topics. Its a common understanding between my friends that being on the dance floor is like having a religious experience, losing yourself in inner thought but also embracing all that is around you. I am very excited and can't wait to see what your research shows.

      Love and thank you!

      I feel like this documentary is very well made... Like the audio visual experience of the dancing itself. I also like it is a necessary tool for opening people's minds to the truth about the culture that has been shrouded in so much undeserved negativity from the media. A lot of people could benifit from joining in the culture, and this movie being made public will find those people... the ones who are spiritually seeking.

      This film definitely resonates with my experience in the San Francisco underground music scene, although I never thought of it as an awakening. Thank you for taking the time to explore the subject and presenting it as something more than just partying. Good luck to you.

      I met Andrew on the dance floor when I was going through my own electronic awakening. Andrew's dedication and devotion to this film is truly beautiful. He is able to show us the transformative nature of electronic music and illuminate the spiritual quality of dance culture. Thank you Andrew for giving us this gift. I hope we are able to meet your pledge so the world can see your important work. I love you <3
