Mythic Journeys is a fusion of documentary and animation about the power of myth and story to change the world. It features three of Hollywood’s most acclaimed actors.

Tim Curry is a noble king whose life or death depends on delivering a hanging corpse to a mysterious sorcerer. Lance Henriksen is a necromancer who gives him the strange assignment and may or may not be trustworthy. Mark Hamill is just your regular dead body come to life with a cutting with and a Scheherazade – like skill for storytelling and riddles.

In the between this imaginative narrative are interviews with some of the world’s leading mythologists, psychologists and spiritual leaders including Deepak Chopra, Michael Beckwith and Honora Foah. It also features the paintings of Jerry Wennstrom

In 2006, filmmakers Steve and Whitney Boe attended the MYTHIC JOURNEYS conference and performance festival in Atlanta and found their lives transformed when confronted with the question:

“Will you know who you are when you die or will death have to tell you?”

MYTHIC JOURNEYS, the movie, is their celebration of that extraordinary experience, an exploration of what myth and story can teach us about our own lives and how mythology can be used to spark creativity and bridge communities, generations and cultures.
