Out of the Blue
(Documentary, 2010, running time: 52 minutes)
Ray Schmitt began a two-year spiritual journey with his camera in September 2007 after suddenly losing his wife and film partner Judy Lee. He couldn't imagine her "not being." Where did she go? She had to exist in some spiritual or energy form otherwise he would have been more devastated by the loss. He set out to re-examine, or affirm, his belief system. Using Ken Burn's film "The Brooklyn Bridge" as a metaphor, Schmitt builds a bridge to the metaphysical world. First traveling to Mexico he has many synchronistic encounters along the way including meeting widows who share their own personal stories. Schmitt explores whether things can exist in different forms or dimensions, how the universe connects with us and us to the universe, and how inspirational thoughts or messages can seemingly come to us "Out of the Blue." But one thing Schmitt wasn't prepared for was a revelation that occurred just as he was completing his film.
