Emmy-award winning filmmaker Jan Nickman has created two revolutionary, visual-feasts of natural wonders, pioneering an entirely new genre of "Nature Immersion Experiences." His films are extraordinary rides that go beyond the discussion about nature and carry the viewer into the experience of nature.
"Sacred Earth," as well as its companion film "Echoes of Creation," is exquisitely crafted to allow the viewer to "feel" nature, as if actually being there.
Each film is specifically designed for repeated viewing, to be watched again and again. As the result of director Jan Nickman's pioneering Music-to-Picture technique, viewers can have a new experience with each viewing - in much the same way music is enjoyed repeatedly.
"Sacred Earth" was filmed in often inaccessible and sacred lands of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, and California. Academy Award-winning actress Linda Hunt delivers poetic and contemplative spoken words for "Sacred Earth."
The original soundtrack was composed by Grammy-nominated composer David Arkenstone, and dancer Caroline Richardson, formerly First Soloist for the Royal Canadian Ballet, also appears in the film.
