While spirit channelings have been the foundation for many spiritual teachings, most metaphysical movies such as "The Secret" and "What the Bleep Do We Know" considered it a taboo to feature them.

The team behind "Tuning In" movie obviously felt otherwise and followed up on where others have left. The feature length documentary showcases six engaging American channelers and their non-physical counterparts: Lee Carroll - channel for Kryon, Shawn Randall - channel for Torah, Geoffrey Hoppe - channel for Tobias, Wendy Kennedy - channel for the Pleiadian Collective, Darry Anka - channel for Bashar and Cosmic Lighthouse's regular contributor, John Cali - channel for Chief Joseph.

Thanks to John Cali's connection, we 'tune in' to the film director, David Thomas and producer, Matthiew Klinck to bring you the story behind this revolutionary movie.

1. Whose idea was it to do this movie and why?

Matthiew: It was David's idea to do the movie. When he approached me with the idea last November, I had never heard of channeling. I was fascinated though, and he lent me an audiocassette of a channeling session. When I listened to it, I was really taken aback. The information coming through made a strong connection. I had felt it before, but never heard it put into words. I knew there were many like me who would greatly benefit from hearing it for themselves.

David: I stumbled across channeled material about 10 years ago and immediately felt a resonance with it. I found myself coming back to it again and again and getting deeper into it through Abraham-Hicks, the six channelers featured in “Tuning In” and others. I was struck that so few people, relatively, knew about this phenomenon and thought it would make a fantastic documentary. I nearly started it about three years ago, but for some reason didn’t feel completely aligned with the project, so put it on the back burner. Then, literally, I woke up one day in late 2007 and decided it was time. I’m sure I was getting a few nudgings from my non-physical friends that the time was right. And since then, it has all come together in amazing fashion — literally no stumbling blocks, and even very few hiccups.

2. Why did you choose to feature these six channels when there are many others? What is your decision process?

Matthiew: David chose the channelers based on his 10 years of research into the phenomenon. He wanted to feature the energy that felt most aligned to him. It's an amazing thing that happened once we started filming. It really felt like all the channelers were connecting to the same source and that they were completing each other's sentences. Communicating a message as one.

David: In the decade since I came upon channeling, I have probably read or listened to information from perhaps 50 different sources. The ones I included in the movie, simply, are the ones that spoke to me on the deepest levels, the ones I had the most resonance with. I just figured that if I connected so fully with these six, then others certainly would as well.

3. We understand that each channel was filmed without scripting and did not know about the topics beforehand. What are your experiences during the actual filming?

David: None of them knew the questions beforehand or even topics I would cover. Yet each of the entities that came through answered in cogent, in-depth and often profound manner. And they didn’t shy away from any topic I brought up—from the nature of God to proper diet to why Britney Spears is so popular (though we cut that from the final film).
