“What is this documentary really about?”

The base line of this piece is to explore and eventually to experience TRUE INTIMACY with our loved ones in our life.

And yet we hardly ever seem to experience intimacy, and when or if we do it is usually fleeting at best.

At the same time, we yearn for the long time promised companion to save us from the mundane world - to catapult us into realms of magic, bliss and the unknown. In other words - True Intimacy.

Being in a relationship - a romantic relationship is an opportunity to be at the leading edge of your personal ~ transformational growth. In this dynamic there is constant checking in with our selves, our history, and any other separation between our belief systems and the life we are actually leading. Can we “walk our talk”? A committed relationship is one of the best barometers or feedback devices we have going for us.

In this documentary we explore just that - relationships - in all forms - and how our partner or our life is mirroring back our evolutionary shifts in awareness, consciousness, and transformation.

We internally and externally struggle with issues of intimacy our whole lives. When we can stop and look deeply enough we find that there is no one there - no husband or wife or mother or father - no one's there - just the universe mirroring back our own PRO-jections and RE-jections - what we have labeled our “reality”.

Looking for answers and more importantly some really good questons, we interviewed dozens of couples and a few individuals so that we can not just understand - but rather experience the next level of personal transformation.

Our intent is simple. To help open up concepts, ideas and ways of relating that will assist in making our collective dream of TRUE INTIMACY an EXPERIENCED REALITY.

Thank you for your interest.

All my best,

Joshua Townshend-Zellner

INTIMACY (documentary)

Director / Producer: James Ridgley Writer / Producer: Joshua Townshend-Zellner Cinematographer: Chris Magee

Synopsis Intimacy takes an unflinching look at modern relationships with all of their hopes, dreams, insecurities and outdated self-sabotaging patterns. We explore uncharted emotional waters with 5 subjects that offer up an unusual blend of cutting edge philosophy, role modeling, ancient Tantra secrets and some home spun common sense.

Brian & Alex. A young couple recently married face their personal issues including unfulfilled expectations, control, hopes, fears and substance abuse.


Sasha & Janet. Living in Hawaii, they teach classes in Tantra yoga and live as a polyamours couple. A lot of provocative topics are openly and articulately discussed.

Al & Marilyn Marilyn is a relationship counselor and Al has authored several books on relating. Together they teach workshops helping people heal their relationships with NLP and other self-help technologies.



Jack. After growing up in the repressive 1930’s he broke free of his roots to become a professional performing artist. Never married he tells how he came to be alone in the twilight years of his life.

David. Travels the world as a Shamanic healer in the American Indian tradition. A true renaissance man – writer, musician, nutritionist, and developed a way to self-realization called Whole Brain Functioning.
