The Living Matrix Inks World-Wide Distribution Deal with Beyond Words Publishing

Distributors of “The Secret” See Early Success of New Bioenergetics Documentary as Signal for Increasing Demand for Mind-Body-Spirit Films

San Rafael, Calif., July 28, 2009 – On the heels of sell-out premieres in Europe and the U.S., along with surprisingly high demand for DVDs, filmmakers of The Living Matrix announced its new documentary will be distributed by Beyond Words, Hillsboro, Ore.-based distributors of The Secret and other mind-body-spirit films. The agreement gives Beyond Words rights to market and sell The Living Matrix, a full-length film that explores the frontier science of quantum physics, energy fields, and consciousness in human biology and health.

Beyond Words will distribute the film in North America and in English throughout the World. The publisher and distributor of international best selling books and DVDs also will assist in licensing foreign language editions of the film.

“Beyond Words is pleased to offer a film of such exceptional quality that provides information and education to a mainstream audience on the benefits of alternative medicine and energy healing,” said Richard Cohn, Beyond Words publisher. “The Living Matrix is a must see for anyone interested in opening the mind to the possibilities of healing that allopathic medicine does not address. Its early success at premiere screenings along with a strong buzz creating consumer demand demonstrates the importance of film in bringing influential emerging ideas to mainstream audiences.”

The Living Matrix is the first documentary to question the exclusive role of genetics in human biology and to explore scientific evidence that energy and information fields are controlling factors in health. Thought-provoking interviews with frontier scientists, academics, and authors; 3-D motion graphics; and remarkable stories of recovery combine in the film to have drawn sell-out crowds at both the European and the U.S. premieres this year. Other screenings at holistic health and spiritual healing conferences in Hong Kong, Prague, Germany, Arizona, Santa Cruz, and Denver have attracted attendance numbers that created demand for DVDs and more screenings faster than the filmmakers anticipated, moving them to launch a world-wide hosted screening program earlier than planned.
“While we are pleased with how rapidly our film has gained momentum, we aren’t surprised by the interest,” said Greg Becker, director of The Living Matrix. “Health care professionals and people who want alternative choices for recovery and well-being continue to seek resources that validate what they know or experience to be true: that wellness extends beyond the mechanics of biology. The Living Matrix reinforces for them that bioenergetic health care no longer is just a quietly emerging area of scientific study nor can it be dismissed as metaphysics or non-medical. It is a frontier science increasingly researched by biophysicists, cellular biologists, MDs, as well as researchers at some of the world’s most renowned medical schools.”
“For decades, conventional medical sources have misled people into thinking that alternative health care practices such as bioenergetic medicine are not supported by evidence-based scientific research,” said Harry Massey, executive producer of The Living Matrix. “The truth is that scientists have been researching the role of quantum physics in human biology all this time and have made sound scientific discoveries that support its impact on health and well being.”

Demand Drives Film’s Milestones
The London premiere of The Living Matrix sold out to a 430-seat theater in March. The U.S. premiere in May at a 250-seat theater in Marin County, California, sold all tickets for its two-night screening. At both screenings, along with a 550-seat venue in Santa Cruz, Calif., people who had to be turned away at the door were offered discounts on purchases of the DVD.
The Reconnection, a world-wide training program run by internationally known healer Eric Pearl, has made The Living Matrix a regular feature at all of its major conferences throughout the year. The film also continues to enjoy robust demand at independent health care conferences, where screenings this summer are planned for Toronto, Sydney, Melbourne, Norway, Dublin, Los Angeles, and Providence, R.I.
Due to unexpectedly high demand, the filmmakers last week announced several months ahead of schedule a hosted screening program that will allow health care practitioners, holistic and spiritual healers, and other community organizations. Details are posted on the film’s website.
