| VIEW CLIP |
| This film is about how an acknowledgment of the 'psychological presence' of the infant in the time prior to, during and after birth, can lead us into finding out more about ourselves and becoming more present for our children An arrival of divine proportions, or a journey through the gates of hell; to engage in the the birth process is to embrace the greatest beauty whilst risking our greatest fears. |

"I enthusiastically endorse the film made by Elmer Postle on the psychology of birth. It is an interesting film and introduces in a dynamic way the key concept of the autonomy, sensitivity and intensity of the new baby. It is recommended viewing for all parents to be, as well as health care professionals involved with birth".

Gangaji Owl Productions recently recorded the London events of the American born teacher and author Gangaji. She is in the lineage of Indian saints Papaji and Ramana Maharshi. We are able to offer a 6 DVD set of her talks in London on 2007. This is an edited production shot with two cameras. I found her presence quite remarkably liberating and I was left with clarity and a great appreciation for her teaching. The DVD’s are a lovely way to attend a workshop with Gangaji and represent insightful teaching of relevance to a wide audience. Individuals come and sit with her and the dialogue centres around eternal questions of the spirit and soul: CLICK HERE TO SEE AN EXCERPT From the DVD's "What is discovered in this meeting is that which is always good, whether it feels good or feels bad; that which is always whole, whether there is damage or no damage; that which is always crystal clear, whether there is confusion or mental clarity." (What follows is from the website www.Gangaji.org) Gangaji, an American born teacher and author, has travelled the globe since 1990, speaking with spiritual seekers from all walks of life. Her message is powerful in its clarity and simplicity: True peace and lasting fulfilment are not only our birthright, they are the essential nature of our being. Gangaji invites you to discover the possibility of living your life in the freedom and joy of simply being. |

Invitation One: I am looking for a co-producer/distributor who would be able to help me make the most of this project already shot. The invitation is for someone or an organisation who can bring the project to as many people and as successfully as possible. I feel capable of bringing the production process to a satisfactory outcome but don't think I can successfully handle the whole distribution side as well. If you know of anyone who might be interested or worth me making contact with, I'd really like to hear from you.
Invitation two:
It became clear to me, spending a little bit of time around them this year that there that they are offering is something very educational and significant that I think needs to be offered in a video/DVD form, both as a record and as a teaching tool. Robin Shohet and I are asking for ways to finance the production of a set of DVD's recorded at a retreat they are offering in Washington State in early Sept 2007. If you are able to support us in this project or any of the others mentioned above in any way, or know of anyone who can we would be most grateful if you could put us in touch with them. |

IN PRODUCTION FOR 2007/2008 We are currently in the early stages of production with two projects based around leading edge ideas in different, but related, fields. With birthing and Obstetric visionary Michel Odent, we are putting together a project based on the question; 'why are there so many cesarean sections as a mode of birthing?' Its called 'The Accidental Obstetrician' and is a 1hr television documentary. More explicit outline available on request (elmer@postle.net) I have put 22 minutes of an interview with Michel onto Youtube links below.
Another project is with leading edge thinker about the motivations behind historical change Lloyd DeMause the founder of Psychohistory. In the film DeMause will lead the unfoldment of an understanding of how a nations childrearing and its evolution forms the basis for much political and national activity, in particular bellicose warmongering. (project proposal 'The History of Childrearing', available from: elmer@postle.net)
And a different project - FATHERS TO BE Along with Patrick Houser I, Elmer Postle, am co-Founder of Fathers To Be. Our initiative is intended to hold the door open for mens empowered relationship to pregnancy, birth and early parenthood. It is possible for men to move into parenthood from a base of support that enables the family to grow in connection as the next generation arrives. We have found there is a need for an environment which is safe and supportive of the very idea that men are having an experience during this time. Please visit our website, come to an event and...

WE OFFER WHO WE ARE In addition to professional television skills development over many years, first as camera assistant and later as cameraman (BBC), in recent years I have become an accomplished director, editor and producer. Originally inspired through hearing Dr William Emerson speak in the 1980's, I have made an understanding of Birth and the psychology associated with it my speciality. I became intrigued to explore these origins of some of our deepest thought processes and decisions. I have trained in the US and UK over a number of years with leading innovators in the field of birth psychology Including Ray Castellino, Dr William Emerson and have also worked with founders of mythopoetic mens work, Robert Bly, James Hillman and Malidoma Some. The Prenatal and Birth Training with Ray Castellino has led to the production of my most significant film to date the 'Psychology of Birth: Invitation to Intimacy' (see above). Findhorn Foundation I am now the father of a beloved son, Lucien, who is teaching me much about love and life along with my partner Nicola with whom I live in Chiswick, London.
