“Adam is so preoccupied with his search for spiritual enlightenment that he misses out on what is most important and valuable in his life. We follow Adam as he leaves behind his girlfriend, Sophie, and goes on a journey to see a spiritual teacher. Through a chance meeting with Jasmine – a carefree hippy, that seems to promise a more mystical, enlightening relationship – he has brief awakened glimpses of what life and love are all about.”
Love Means Not to Be is about relaxing our tight clinging to our identity, and our need to know and understand life. It is about not-knowing, not-understanding, and the freedom and simplicity that comes with letting go of who we take ourselves to be.
We would love it if you could offer your support to this project. We are still accepting your kind donations! Further funding will go towards casting and looking after our actors.
Everyone could do with taking themselves a little less seriously; being able to laugh at themselves; and to accept that they don’t have the answers to everything. The film is infused with a radical but simple philosophy which underlies Zen, Advaita, Taoism, Christianity and many of the world’s major religions. But it is ultimately about letting go of all of these attachments to belief and concepts, and is about everyday life in all its beautiful ordinariness.
The film has been forming for the last six months, and now we need a modest amount of funding in order to cover the costs of basic production and post-production work. We believe it is a positive, thought-provoking, and human story, and with your help we could make this vision a reality.
Any donation, however small, would be greatly welcomed.
Thank you Thomas and Charlie for your support. Our funding has been successful, and now we are concentrating on producing this exciting project. Cinematographer is coming down to Brighton on Monday to check out our locations. Script is being tweaked and workshopped. Will keep you updated. Best wishes. Tom
