Our first film
was a beginning.
Now we want to tell a story
the world can enter.
What the first film taught us.
Our first documentary grew out of research, field filming and conversations with scholars and practitioners. We learned a great deal, and made a film that explains more than it follows an unfolding story. That depth now has a home as a chapter-based introduction. Sharing it with audiences in Nepal and Singapore showed us the potential for a different film: one that lets people encounter this tradition through the lives of those who carry it.
It was a starting point. Now we want to move beyond explaining a tradition to following the people who live it.
Real people.
An unfolding story.
A new documentary will follow people living with the responsibilities of a changing tradition. English narration, an unfolding story and deeper conversations with practitioners and scholars will open Newar Buddhism to a broader audience.
Our ambition is to reach audiences in Japan, Korea, Europe and the United States, as well as Nepal. These are the places we hope this story can travel.
Through the voice of
a former Living Goddess.
We are exploring a personal way into the relationship between sacred responsibility and everyday life, with English narration by a former Living Goddess.
