“Our movies have an end, their messages don’t”

by elephanttribe

dreamdream2-1024x581“Our movies have an end, their messages don’t”

People are in need of hope and something larger to believe in.

Our Main Vision is to create heart-touching films that are targeted for every human in search of a positive and nurturing experience.   Our stories shine with unparalleled brilliance and color expressing what words fail to.  They empower the greater community of man and women to breathe deeper and discover health, happiness and meaning in life.

Our inspirational film genres include fiction, documentaries and Fusions. The lengths of the productions varies from as short as 5 seconds to feature length (80-90 minutes) and anything in between.  We produce films for our own organization, individuals, organizations and companies.

Our TEAM ElephantTribe.org Inspirational Films is the first of its kind.   We are an internationally sophisticated, dynamic and culturally-minded team from United States, Denmark, Brazil, Italy, France, India, Russia and other countries.  Since our inception in 2013, we have  completed and released more than 20 film productions and have a growing audience of more than 145,000 people.   We take great pride in our ability  to create, produce and distribute films in a highly expedient and cost effective way.

Distribution (who’s watching and how)

“The message is the medium!”

It has become apparent thru our experiences that our movies are seen by and can be targeted for all kinds of people needing and looking for positive nurturing stories.

Thru tailored disintermediation, we’re distributing our current and future films to various targeted audiences. Our primary distribution model is directly to the viewer. The mediums include Youtube, Vimeo, Social Media, Facebook, Twitter, Online Boards, Movie Theaters, Film Festivals, Target Groups, Organizations, Social Benefit Events, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, HBO, DirectTV, Cable Companies, VOD, Educational Settings, Hospitals, Support Groups, Airplane Entertainment Systems, Billboards, Companies and Individuals.

Funding has primarily come from contributions from our founder Henrik Frederiksen, although we have also received smaller funding amounts from a great many friends as well as a Substantial Advertising Grant from Google, that has been made available to us on a yearly basis.

 Growth our goal is to continue to create even more powerful life inspiring and transforming films to reach an even bigger audience worldwide.

 It’s beautiful to believe.

 Let’s bring magic to the world.

F. Scott Fitzgerald: “For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be.

“For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.”

– Eric Roth, The curious Case of Benjamin Button Screenplay

Episodes

Veins of the Earth – Early Native American Settlers

Many Native American Tribes believe that water is the life-blood of mother earth, a harmony that should not be broken. The first episode of the series shows the contrast between today and our past by telling how the Native Americans created roots and established communities at the head of the Colorado River, located in the Rocky Mountains. Through their stories, rituals and dances, we illuminate the unique physical and spiritual relationship they have with the river, a balance that was once primordial to our lifestyle.

West meets East

Lights on. Post-Industrial Revolution, white steam is seen in the deserted landscape signalizing a fast moving train loaded with new settlers.  In this episode we explore the shift in the paradigm between humanity and nature. We see the results of the new mentality powered by the needs of a rising modern lifestyle. Moving down the River and forward in time we study the history of the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam and the Hoover Dam, as well as their respective reservoirs, Lake Powell and Lake Mead. Their social and environmental impacts are being revealed as a game-changing moment in the relationship between humanity and nature.

Metropolis

Bigger and faster. The structures built in the River allowed an explosive growth in population. Fast growing cities means fast moving needs. In this part of the series we analyze the escalation of water consumption in the modern Metropolitan cities, from agriculture, to industry and personal use. The focus is on the history of Los Angeles, made possible by the erection of the Colorado Aqueduct, and Las Vegas, watered by the manmade Lake Powell, as well as the challenges of creating sustainable cities in an increasingly individualistic and consumeristic society. Can our progress be balanced with the needs of the environment?

The River Ends

From greens to mud, from plentiful to scarce. This episode is a physical exposition of the deterioration of the Colorado River Delta in the Gulf of California. The River that once flowed freely to the ocean now dries out before reaching its natural destiny. In a metaphorical speculation of the future, we’re tracing the connection between the end of the river and the ticking clock of a need for solutions. The efforts and possibilities of restoring the natural balance, allowing the River to resume its course is investigated through a series of initiatives from organizations dedicated to this cause.

Sea of Possibilities

Our time could be drying out… Our final episode sheds light on the quest for a more sustainable lifestyle. It re-introduces ancient Native lessons and relates them to the modern approach and needs, further proving our ability to create harmony between humanity and nature. Through personal depositions and life stories, we personify the increasingly popular trend for healthy, happy and meaningful lives according to the well being of the planet as a whole.
