Sedona filmmakers take exploratory documentary to L.A.

“Where did we come from?” and “where are we going?” are perhaps the two greatest questions mankind has ever sought to answer.

Sedona filmmakers take exploratory documentary to L.A.

“Where did we come from?” and “where are we going?” are perhaps the two greatest questions mankind has ever sought to answer.

To shed light on those questions, Sedona filmmakers Andrew Cameron Bailey and Connie Baxter Marlow looked to Earth’s oldest indigenous cultures.

Their film, “In Search of the Future” fits into the emerging “nature of the universe” genre of film, which includes films like “The Secret” and “What the Bleep Do We Know?” Marlow said.

It’s about the origin and destiny of humanity from an indigenous perspective and it’s intended to provide an expanded understanding of the nature of the universe, according to Marlow.

Bailey and Marlow first premiered a rough cut of the film in June of 2007 at the Harmony Festival in Santa Rosa, Calif., but those who attend the upcoming screening at the Conscious Life Expo in Los Angeles, on Sunday, Feb. 10, will be among the first to see the finished film — more than four years in the making.

“What could a new consciousness bring to life on this planet?” Bailey wondered aloud. “We need change, but what could that change mean?”

When it comes to the nature of the universe, most people are operating on a lot of misinformation, according to Marlow.

Quantum physics teaches that everything in the universe is connected, but the ancients have always known that, Bailey said.

Western culture split off from that knowledge during the Age of Reason, but it may finally be ready to swing back to that understanding.
