Creators of THE PORTAL
The film was produced by international meditation expert and founder of The Stillness Project Tom Cronin and directed and produced by Jacqui Fifer, an exfinancier turned global meditation expert. Their collaboration realises Cronin’s dream of making a feature film that would inspire people across the world to shift humanity into a new era by meditating daily.
Developed between them over the course of many years, this “experiential” documentary and book are a meeting of minds aimed at redefining the way we approach our inner and outer worlds.
‘In my work I see a lot of people who have hit some kind of crisis or roadblock in their lives and are looking for a path through. I’ve dedicated the last 25 years to exploring this area and I’ve been fascinated by this idea of a crisis being a catalyst for change, and how it can inspire the most remarkable turnaround in people’s lives. The Portal was inspired by my own crisis moment that ultimately inspired a phase shift in my life,’ says Cronin.
‘We’d like the viewer to leave elevated and inspired, not just with answers, but also with questions.’
Through their unusual but powerful collaboration, personal stories and ancient spiritual teachings harmonise with the future of technology, collapsing past and future into a portal of ‘now’ where an enlightened planet awaits.
‘THE PORTAL is a film about life,’ says Fifer. ‘It’s a journey through the ups and downs, the love and the sadness, the fragility and strength in each of us. It’s a cinematic love poem to every person who has shied away from, or stepped up to, the daily challenges that present themselves, and the defining moment in which, despite our past, we embrace the potential of our own evolution.
‘It’s about our uniqueness as individuals and our role in the collective heartbeat of our planet. At times as surprising as our own future this is a film to inspire humankind into a new era.
‘Thought-provoking global ideas, poetic imagery and honest first-person accounts of challenge and transformation draw us in; visceral soundscapes and an evocative score with binaural beats slowly cast a spell, shifting the audience’s state. Past, present and future interweave in a meditation on life, where chaos juxtaposes calm and linear ideas give way to a sense of vastness, impermanence and interconnectedness.’
