FEATURE DOCUMENTARY SERIES
When materialist science reaches its limit in the study of human consciousness, a new paradigm begins. The Consciousness Connection unites the world’s leading scientists, academics, and experiencers to solve the ultimate mystery: Is consciousness produced by the brain, or does it exist beyond it?
THE PREMISE
We are witnessing a global shift. The materialistic view of the universe is crumbling under new data from quantum physics, PSI research, and Near-Death Studies. The Consciousness Connection captures this paradigm shift in real-time. It is Cosmos for the spiritual age—rigorous, cinematic, and transformative.
THE MARKET
- Core Audience: The massive “Spiritual but not Religious” demographic (SBNR), fans of Dan Brown’s #1 bestseller The Secret of Secrets, Ancient Aliens, and the “Joe Rogan” and “Coast to Coast” fan base.
- Timeliness: With a new idea of mindfulness on the rise of consciousness studies in Ivy League universities, this content is hitting the cultural zeitgeist at the perfect moment.
SHORT SYNOPSIS The Consciousness Connection is a groundbreaking documentary series that bridges the gap between the objective world of material science and the subjective realm of human experience. From the research labs of Princeton and the University of Virginia to the testimony of Near-Death Experiencers, the series challenges the long-held belief that the brain is the sole origin of consciousness. Featuring Emmy-winning filmmaking and interviews with pioneers like Dr. Eben Alexander and Dr. Bruce Greyson, this is a bold inquiry into ESP, Near Death Experience, and the survival of the human soul.
EPISODE 1 FOUNDATIONS
Released Feb 2025 “Foundations” establishes the scientific “hard problem” of consciousness. We explore the history of the topic, limitations of current materialist theories and introduce the “missing links” found in quantum physics and parapsychology.
- Key Topics: Remote Viewing, The “Hard Problem” of Consciousness: Science, PSI, ESP, and the history of consciousness research including Out of Body Experiences.
- Featuring: Dr. Thomas Campbell, Dr. Diane Powell, Joe McMoneagle (Remote Viewer), Dr. Garret Yount (IONS), and paranormal researcher Loyd Auerbach
EPISODE 2 NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES
Early 2026 Every person will one day face that moment when life ends— yet a growing body of experiencers and researchers suggest this isn’t the end, but a profound new beginning. This feature-length film explores the near-death experience (NDE) as a window into a possible afterlife. Combining personal testimony, groundbreaking science, and visual re-creations, Near Death Experiences challenges the materialist view of consciousness and delves into NDEs as potentially positive, transformative, consciousness-expanding events. Often with startling evidence of the seemingly impossible. Are these vivid and structured experiences hallucinations from a dying brain — or glimpses into an alternate dimension?
The film examines universal themes of love, connection, transformation, and the survival of consciousness beyond the body.

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT ” This in-depth examination of the leading theories on the nature of consciousness and life after death is such a fascinating mystery to dive into. Dr. Bob Davis and I teamed up in 2020 to begin this lengthy investigation using an academic centric approach to the subject matter. Then we dived into the stories to make it understandable, relatable and entertaining for the mass audience. ” — Dave C. Beaty
