A documentary that explores the feminine principle in our society covering the media, body, men, relationships, workforce and religion
About this project
Welcome!
Our project brings about a unique perspective on the psyche. With incredible personalities such as Dr. James Hollis, Dr. Abigail Disney or Rev. Dr. Serene Jones, and amazing academics like Dr. Cynthia Eller, Dr. Anna Fausto-Sterling (among many others), we bring you the animated story of filmmaker Lorís Simón as she embarks on a journey in search of meaning, belonging and the path back to her true self.
From the theories of C.G. Jung, this film will explore the feminine principle in present day Western society. What is the feminine, you might ask. The feminine is a group of genderless characteristics related to emotions, intuition, creativity, receptiveness, nurturance, etc... expressions that we tend to push aside in order to give space to reason, logical thinking, structure. Ensoulment is a film that proposes recovering the feminine without losing the masculine. We need both to be whole, to be happy and to be fulfilled.
funding...
Your donations will be spread in different areas. We were very lucky and privileged to find funding to get many of the interviews, but we have yet to finish the final scenes and then embark on post-production. Therefore, costs can vary from transportation, to animation, to final editing effects. In addition there is the sound design and music that have yet to be accounted for. We will make every single penny count!!
A few snapshots of our progress so far!
Risks and challenges
Our biggest challenge so far has been our extremely small team, but if we've gotten this far, we're most definitely not giving up now!!! We've been working so hard on this, and we've managed to overcome every obstacle. This is why your help will be SO important to us, not a cent will go unnoticed!
