Project Shift

Provoke
Challenge
Inspire

Five books and an award-winning body of film exploring the near-death experience, radical spirituality, grief, and the outer edges of consciousness — built on firsthand accounts and real collaboration with leading thinkers.

And now, that same rigor turns to political power with the Focus Report, launching soon.

Coming Soon A Project Shift Original
Focus Report

A shift in how we see power.

Politics runs on money, influence, and votes — but the receipts are scattered across a dozen government databases nobody reads. Focus Report pulls them together. The Senate, the House, the executive branch — scored on Integrity, Effectiveness, and Alignment using nothing but the public record: campaign finance filings, voting history, financial disclosures, legislative output. No pundits. No spin. No accusations — just the math, shown.

In this arena, a picture really is worth a thousand words. A single chart can reveal what a hundred news cycles bury — who funds whom, who shows up, who delivers. Focus Report lays it all out in clean, easy-to-read visuals anyone can understand in seconds.

We don't tell you who the good guys are. We show you what the data says and let you decide. That's the shift: from being told what to think about power, to seeing exactly how it works.

Poetry in Motion

Project Shift's most innovative work reaches back in time, fusing moving poetry from renowned poets and film shot by skilled cinematographers, creating a complex brew that nourishes the soul as it stimulates the mind. Designed to challenge, provoke, and inspire, these films hit on a broad spectrum of social, political, and spiritual issues while cutting across traditional lines of gender, race, religion, and ethnicity. This collection of 21 short films helped launch a genre that has since found large, enthusiastic audiences worldwide.
