Happy 2016 everyone! We here at Hemstock Films have been hard at work over the past two years developing our documentary “PHI” and we’d like to take this time to update everyone with our progress!
This documentary film project began as a vision I had three years ago. I wanted to make a powerful, visually compelling film that dove into the world of consciousness and where we as a collective species may be evolving to.
Back in Fall of 2013, my wife Olivia and I took the plunge and we packed our things and set out on a road trip to begin interviewing and shooting for our movie. We had an epic, adventurous time, and collected over 50 hours of material.

The complexity of this labyrinth of information we collected was challenging for us to make our way through. It’s been a marathon of editing, patience, and persistence and we are excited to say that now, over two years later, our movie is nearly complete.

At this point, I invite everyone to be sure to join our mailing list. We will respect your information, and you will be able to see the film FIRST, before it is released to the public worldwide.
To answer everyone’s questions about release date: We are scheduled for Q4 2016. The film will also be available as an online download, and that date is currently TBA. Thank you everyone for your patience and support!
