One Spirit DVD
To create a video companion piece for Jean Latz Griffin's book "One Spirit: A Creation Story for the 21st Century," Toxic Bag coordinated video shoots in Chicago and Yucca Valley, CA, created an animated short based on Jane Gaunt's artwork, and edited 2 documentaries; one on the creation of the book itself, and one on creation myths and stories around the world. Joe Griffin composed the music for the two "One Spirit" meditation videos. Click here to watch a clip of "One Spirit"
"...The book only contains a couple of hundred words, but those words and the pictures accompanying them speak volumes...There is a terrific DVD that tells the tale in more detail, and includes three meditation guides with some delightful music. Highly recommended." --Richard G. Petty, author of "Healing, Meaning and Purpose"
An original short film shot and produced by Toxic Bag in association with Blues Wind Entertainment. Currently in post-production, "The Cellar Job" is the story of an underground group of monster-hunters called the ministry, who must expel a demon from a young hospital worker.
