Ten years ago, Hollywood filmmaker Betsy Chasse co-created a movie on science and mysticism (subjects she knew nothing about), and was forevermore plucked from the oblivion of Valley Girl "shoe consciousness." The movie, "What the Bleep Do We Know!?," changed her life and the life of millions as it went on to make spiritual cinema history. Her latest creation, a "little book of essays" called Metanoia: a transformational change of heart, reveals a much wiser and infinitely more humble woman than the post "Bleep" successful thirty-something who hit the New Age conference circuits and radio shows back in 2005. "After the movie was released, people were coming to me for advice about how to make their lives as perfect as mine," Chasse recalls. "I had it all. I knew everything. All you had to do was ask me!" Enter life, stage left. Metanoia: a transformational change of heart is, above all, a book about getting real. The nineteen short essays poetically and ruthlessly reveal a woman in the aftermath of public and domestic success; a woman in the process of being humbled by life; a woman who yearns for vulnerability and authenticity even as she rails against the need for facing the limiting self-concepts she holds inside that keep her from embracing-and loving-her true self. An "every woman" journey that every woman who has lived and loved and lost it all ... and then yearned for something greater and deeper to blossom within her can relate to. Delicate, surprising, potent and raw, each essay is accompanied by relevant quotes from sources as diverse as Victor Hugo, Rumi and Lucille Ball.

"In The Documentary Filmmaking Guide, Betsy Chasse teaches readers everything they need to know to make a documentary: from preliminary research on topics and audiences, to developing a business plan and securing funding, to working with a production team and interviewees, to post-production, marketing, and distribution. This down-to-earth guide is truly an all-access pass to what goes on behind the camera"--

Tip over your sacred cows of belief, dump your personal prejudices and biases, and begin to rebuild a spiritual lifestyle that really works. Wife, mother, and award-winning producer of the sleeper hit What the Bleep Do We Know!? Betsy Chasse thought she had it all figured out...until she realized she didn’t. She didn’t know anything about happiness, love, spirituality, or herself...nothing, nada, zilch. In a book that’s anything but quiet, Chasse takes readers on a playful romp through the muddy fields of life and spirituality. Witty, yet unflinching, Chasse exposes her own experience tipping sacred cows and dissects the fragile beliefs we all hold so dear. Because the truth is, we each have a choice to believe the stories we tell ourselves or create new ones. A candid, no-nonsense confession, Chasse’s story gives readers the freedom to break free from their old patterns and gleefully frolic through fields, cow tipping at will and in the process, create a new reality for themselves.

What happens when the least spiritual person on the planet gets hired to make a movie about spirituality? You''re about to find out. Killing Buddha is a delightfully irreverent, LOL read. Sara Wells and her crew are exactly what we need to remind us that life is a journey best enjoyed with authenticity, vulnerability and laughter. I couldn''t stop laughing even as I soaked up the wisdom this hilarious tale has to tell. Enjoy this total page turner. ~ Elaine Hendrix, Actress (What The Bleep Do We Know!? Parent Trap, Dynasty), Activist  When life is in chaos we are forced to change, a lesson successful-but-not-the-way-she-wants-to-be film producer Sara Wells reluctantly learns when her seemingly perfect life comes crashing down.  Desperate for work and a new life, she takes on a documentary project about spirituality and the New Thought movement.Will Killing Buddha mark her triumphant return to the riches she thinks her life once contained? Or willshe and her mismatched crew of seekers, believers and cynics find that, in the end, it''s not what you have and what you believe in, but who you ultimatelybecome that counts? Funny and light-hearted, Killing Buddha is a thought-provoking, mostly fictional tale based on the experiences of BetsyChasse, award-winning filmmaker of the international hit indie film What the Bleep Do We KnowI? which ignited the New Thought industry for the new millennium. The book explores the world of New Age / New Thought spirituality and personal growth, exposing both the ridiculousness and the sublimity of the spiritual journey in an authentic and humorous way. Betsy Chasse is an award-winning filmmaker, best known for her role as co-writer, director and producer of What The Bleep Do We Know?!. Thebest-selling author of Tipping Sacred Cows, she has produced over 30 feature films and documentaries. (And yes, some of those wouldbe considered porn...) She is a mom to two spirited and opinionated teenagers, still loves wine, but has decided to leave the Tequila on the topshelf where it belongs.

The New Age/Thought movements have flatlined. Stunning scientific insights and uplifting spiritual information found in early break-through books and films have devolved into a smorgasbord of "feel good" social media memes and lookalike spiritual programs guaranteed to deliver overnight abundance, soulmates and enlightenment in easy 5-step workshops.All You Need Is Love is a much-needed antidote, breathing substance and depth back into our quest for health, wellness and most importantly our spiritual connection.Contributing Authors: Sharon Ballantine · Susie Beiler · Marie Benard · Patrick Cameron · Betsy Chasse · Mary Clarke · Michele Cutler · Cameron Day · Lisa Dimond · Catherine Ellis · Morgan D.
