"The spirit reveals itself to everyone with the same intensity and consistency, but only warriors are consistently attuned to such revelations."
Carlos Castaneda, "Power of Silence"
THE FIRST STEP
The creation of the first episode of "The Spot" required tremendous effort, hard work, sincere thoughts and lofty goals. Without intention and faith in our common dream, we could not have brought the development to the desired result. But we are here, which means we have succeeded, and the Ixtlan project opens the door to the world.
The first episode of the series based on the books of Carlos Castaneda is ready, and we dare to hope that it will not disappoint the fans, and together we will continue our journey to the next episode of this great story.
WHAT IS THE PRICE?
Initially, the Ixtlan project was not planned as a commercial enterprise. With the support of fans of Carlos Castaneda from more than 30 countries around the world, we started creating the film, squeezing everything possible within the framework of the collected budget. Not counting on the Hollywood scale, and formally not having the rights to film adaptations of the books, we decided to make the first episode, "The Spot"...
FREE FOR EVERYONE!
The first episode, "The Spot", is very well done. The film technology and the music go very well with it. It is a great challenge to implement such a complex project. My appreciation and respect.
Ulle Bowski
It is brilliantly produced and the artwork. both static and dynamic, is stunning. I loved everything about it. Music and sound effects too. Well done, a wonderful achievement for all the team.

The project is complete, it has energy now, thousands of people will see it and each viewer will leave some of their energy, it will have a life of it's own.

I was very moved by watching the film. I thought it was very careful, very poetic, a little hazy, fabulous and theatrical - like no one has ever filmed about Castaneda. I would put it this way - the film is very "gentlemanly", sensitive and passionate one time.
Oleg Shmyrin
Loved the special effects, especially the paint brush stroke style for the clouds, sky and skin textures. The music was good, and the end credits music was very apt composed. Ended the whole film on a high note, somewhat reminiscing of cowboy western movies, and very majestic (the native American in Don Juan would be proud). I can see that a lot of heart went into it! Looking forward to see the next chapter unfold.

An impeccable movie (best use of energy), in every aspect. Superior production, acting, soundtrack. Pure power. Magical: Instantly grabs the seekers' attention and manipulates his awareness. I wish the soundtrack become available as download.

Foi uma ótima introdução, sem ansiedade em cobrir conteúdo, dando enfase a um ponto importante da história, mal posso esperar pelos próximo episódios!!! obrigado pela dedicação e capricho!!
Leo Nascimento
Well, that was quite interesting. As I said before, it meets the expectations of the target audience in full. Keep it up. The medium you have chosen is great for showing the "special effects" of sorceric exploits. And you've obviously seen the chartreuse and the lavender colours yourselves on the ground and elsewhere, because you got just the right hues.

In short, the film is amazing! It is pretty much how I imagined the story. Thank you very much for the efforts you put into it. It was definitely worth waiting for. Though perhaps there was a more ambitious plan in the beginning as for the length of the film, I'm glad that you didn't trade the quality for the footage. Hopefully the community will make the next episode possible. Will be looking forward to your future projects. Best of luck to you and your team!
