2012 Time for Change – Teaser from Joao Amorim on Vimeo.

2012: Time for Change is a feature-length documentary, directed by Joao Amorim of Curious Pictures in New York and featuring Daniel Pinchbeck, the bestselling author of “2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl” (Penguin, 2006). In the style of “An Inconvenient Truth”, “What the Bleep Do We Know”, and “Waking Life”, our file explores ideas about what the immediate future may hold, symbolized by the myths and prophecies of the Mayan culture of Mexico. Interviews with design scientists, anthropologists, physicists such as Dean Radin, Barbara Max Hubbard, Nassim Haramein John Todd and Paul Stamets and celebrities such as David Lynch, Sting, Ellen Page and Gilberto Gil. 2012 combines Film and animation in an innovative way, taking us on a journey through our own evolution.. The energy of this trailer is one of optimism and healing which is exactly what the word needs a very large dose of right about now. Enjoy!

At least two more films are in production that use 2012 as the iconic year for transformation. (The Shift and Shift of the Ages on which we will soon do follow up stories. Of course, we cannot wait until 2012 but the energy, intelligence, creativity and wisdom inherent in these films is here now. We are witnessing the ultimate meltdown from an era of greed and corruption and they are the compost for a rich organic soil in which a new civilization is being birthed even as the old one is in the process of self destruction.

Part of humanity, those who voted for McCain and Palin (46% of US voters) are clinging to old ideas that have kept us prisoners in a dysfunctional and dangerous paradigm built on scarcity or scare city. The new paradigm represented by Obama is field of possibility that we have an opportunity to energize and actualize in the form of socially responsible and visionary products and services that place people and the planet first and make a profit by honoring and serving life rather thank destroying it. I believe hybrid for-profit and non-profits could be the way of the future along with local currencies.

In any event, 2012 is a powerful future-present vision of whats possible and we will be covering the production and release of more new paradigm films, novels, artworks, music, products and services and other creative expressions, whatever their form, in the weeks, months and years leading up to 2012. More than anything, it is the spirit and energy of 2012 that is pulling us toward a future that works for everyone rather than the few at the expense of the many.
