And the telepathy tapes entering that world and being immersed in the lives of non-speakers for the past three and a half years has completely altered me, every fiber of me. And it's made me see the world entirely differently.

So as a documentary filmmaker, what often happens is before you even get funding for a project, you might be working and researching and immersed in this world for months, if not years, right? And so you have to really love what you're looking at. And right in between, after my last film, I had just moved to California, was trying to figure out what I was going to do next.

And then I lost two very good friends in the prime of their lives. Like the type of people that, you know, they lost, they left kids behind, just unbelievable people. And I had a friend stop by to bring flowers and she's not deeply religious. She's just very well read. And I would say she's spiritual. And she said to me, you know, they're just right here.

And I'm like, what do you mean they're just right here? And she's like, they're just right here. And I thought, how can you say that with such conviction? And she said, you just start reading. If you start reading, you'll see that all the material is out there around where we're going, what we're doing, what this all means. A lot of research has been done.

She knew I had kind of had a science mind. And she goes, so just start looking. So I made a commitment at that moment. Okay, I don't know what I'm doing next for my next project, which I thought was going to be a film at the time. But whatever it is, I want to answer these big questions. I don't want it to be about social issues in America anymore.

I want it to be about human issues and why we're here and what we're doing and what this all means. Because I was trying to figure out where are my friends. And I started diving into books about animal consciousness, plant communication, Ian Stevenson's work around reincarnation, and children and was reading everything I could get my hands on. And that also included listening to some podcasts.

And there's one I loved called The Cosmos and You. And they did an interview with Dr. Diane Hennessey Powell, who was a neuroscientist, Johns Hopkins educated, Harvard, she worked at Harvard, who had been studying widespread claims of telepathy in non-speakers with autism. And And something hit me like a lightning bolt. And I deeply believe that if something is intended for you, it won't miss you.

And in that moment, I just thought, whatever is here, this is it. This has the answer. And I think part of it, too, was my brother's eye functioning on the spectrum. And the thing that I know, just my own experience with autism, is this sense of telling the truth automatically. There's not a lot of jockeying for ego-driven purposes.

There tends to be a deep truth-telling, which is one of the most beautiful things, I think, about autism in some respects. And so I felt the messengers in this case are the most trustworthy and unassuming. So that kind of led me down this path.

I think most of my films that are self-driven, you know, there's some that are work for hire, someone just has you direct it. But the ones that I generate tend to be deeply personal, deeply specific. I'm trying to answer or heal something. But there were two films that I've made where I remember, or projects where I would actually start praying through it.
