Current Feature Film Project “Denying the Monster”

Climate change is the most devastating issue human beings have ever faced. Our ability to create planet-wide, catastrophic consequences has tragically outpaced our ability to comprehend their impact. Although we do have a surface understanding of the issue, a deep systemic denial and paralysis pervades our global society. One of the main reasons for this is that there simply is no narrative reference for this circumstance. It’s a hyper-drama that is simply too big for us to process, much less take meaningful action to solve.

This documentary takes an in-depth look at the the climate issues from a number of different view points, focusing on the psychological makeup of denial as well as its impact on our lives and well-being. The approach is informed the filmmakers background as both a musician and as a psychotherapist. It invites people to comprehend the issue at a deep level, then connects them to their innate sense of goodness and empowers them to take collective, effective action.
