A screening of Australian filmmaker Bill Bennett’s new movie, “Facing Fear,” will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 18, at Flagler College’s Ringhaver Student Center, 50 Sevilla St.
Bennett is the writer, producer and director. Joining him will be Michael Sandler, author, speaker, coach and co-creator of the School of Mystics, and AWE, the Automatic Writing Experience, who is also in the film.
Bennett and Sandler will remain after the premiere for a Q&A session with the audience.
Bennett has made 16 feature films and several documentaries. His work has been recognized with two Australian Film Institute Awards (Australia’s Oscars) for Best Film and Best Director. He has won two Logies (Australia’s Emmy) for Most Outstanding Documentary in television.
Two of Bennett’s feature films were in official selection at the Cannes Film Festival and four of his feature films have been in official selection at Toronto. He has won numerous Best Picture awards internationally.
Recently, he wrote, produced and directed a theatrical documentary on fear called “Facing Fear.” The film is currently in cinemas across the United States and is a follow-up to his highly acclaimed film on intuition called “PGS — Intuition is your Personal Guidance System,” which screened to sell-out crowds in 2018.
“Facing Fear” is the second in a series of five films proposed by Bennett, followed by a film on Hope, then one on Love. The last film will explore death.
While making “PGS — Intuition is your Personal Guidance System,” Bennett realized that fear was the greatest inhibitor to intuition and began to ask himself what is fear and how does it work? And do we really need fear?
“I started out my journey choked with fear, now I’m no longer afraid,” Bennett said.
Bennett sought out experts in fear management in a desire to understand how fear worked and how to best manage it. Through insightful interviews with Dr. Joe Dispenza, Michael Sandler, Dr. Bruce Lipton, Caroline Myss, Paul Selig, Lee Carroll (Kryon), James Van Praagh, Foster Gamble, Sister Jenna, Michael Tamura and Judith Richards, to name a few, Bennett explores facing fear through scientific and spiritual connections.
Sandler is a mystical teacher and the host of the “Inspire Nation Show,” a transformational, self-help, spiritually focused YouTube channel and podcast.
Sandler is a former pro-athlete and near lifelong meditation practitioner in which two near-death experiences transformed his life.
