Milton's Secret

MILTON’S SECRET.

This is the first motion picture based on a book by #1 New York Times bestselling author Eckhart Tolle (The Power of Now, A New Earth) co-authored by Robert S. Friedman (Publisher of Conversations with God), starring Academy Award nominee and Golden Globe winner, Peter Fonda and directed by Barnet Bain –who is committed to creating transformational movies including Oscar winner “What Dreams May Come,” Emmy nominated “Homeless to Harvard, ” and “The Celestine Prophecy.”

Friends and fans will have an opportunity to co-create a feature film
based on Tolle's teachings by contributing to its production at
http://igg.me/at/MIltonsSecret/x/4839616

Vancouver Based Hulo Films decided to turn to Indiegogo's crowdfunding platform to help build awareness of the project and offer fans the opportunity to get involved, while protecting the integrity of Tolle's message. WE NEED YOUR HELP. STARTING TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 24TH FOR THE NEXT 45 DAYS to successfully bring Eckhart’s book to the big screens! Please help us spread the word!

MILTON’S SECRET carries a very timely message about bullying. It is a
coming of age story about an 11-year-old boy growing up in an
economically depressed suburb, and the elder quest of his grandfather.
His mother and father are workaholics with marital and financial
problems, and he is being bullied at school. When his grandfather
visits, Milton learns that rehashing the past and worrying about the
future are preventing him from finding true happiness in the Now.
