      If you still need convincing, watch "Philosopher Kings" first and you will be convinced that this is an worthy investment.

Connected as Patrick Shen (625 friends)


Founded by Director Patrick Shen, Transcendental Media (TM) aims to "agitate the sleep of mankind” by producing stimulating feature-length films that challenge our worldviews. TM's last documentary "The Philosopher Kings" explores the lives of university janitors. The film world-premiered to sold-out audiences at the 2009 AFI-Discovery Channel Silverdocs Film Festival, opened theatrically in Los Angeles May 2010, and premiered on The Documentary Channel Sept 2010. TM became nationally recognized in 2005 with its critically acclaimed 7-time best documentary winner “Flight From Death: The Quest For Immortality”. Narrated by Golden Globe winner Gabriel Byrne, "Flight From Death" uncovers death anxiety as a possible root cause of many of our behaviors on a psychological, spiritual, and cultural level. All TM films are now available on Hulu, Netflix, iTunes, and on DVD. TM is a Pasadena, CA-based independent film production company. For more information, visit www.transcendfilms.com.
