“The Secret” Meets “Harry Potter” in “The Keeper of the Keys”

“This Movie is the New Gold Standard in its Genre” – Stephen Simon

The Keeper of the Keys has been referred to as The Secret meets Harry Potter because it deftly combines an engaging fictional story with experts sharing their wisdom. BUT, it’s so entertaining, you’ll forget you’re watching a documentary! It’s more of a hybrid. There has never been a movie like this before.

Writer/Producer Robin Jay and Co-Writer/Director Scott Cervine on the Set in California

Viewer reaction is over-the-top. Absolutely everyone who has seen it has said, “I LOVED it!” (quickly followed by, “It was so much better than I THOUGHT it would be.” Why is that? Most movies, ever since the success of The Secret and What the Bleep? have been tedious, endless streams of talking heads! “Keys” producer Robin Jay wanted to raise the bar on an entire industry and make personal development not just palatable, but a true joy to watch. Mission accomplished!

Viewers will enjoy deeply personal stories of transformation

When you watch The Keeper of the Keys, you won’t hear the trite sound bites that have often defined the experts in previous movies. Instead, you’ll be moved by the experts’ deeply personal stories of transformation. The movie stars Jack Canfield, John Gray, Marci Shimoff, and a cast of experts who will transform your life with their inspiring stories. It’s unlike anything viewers have ever seen.

Expert producer/director Stephen Simon weighs in

Stephen Simon, co-founder of Spiritual Cinema Circle and producer of romance cult favorite Somewhere in Time, starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymore, What Dreams May Come, starring Robin Williams, and producer/director of Conversations with God with Neale Donald Walsch wrote,  The Keeper of The Keys is the most innovative and entertaining film of its kind ever made. Wildly original, howlingly funny, fast-paced, and utterly delightful in every way, the film is truly a gift to the world. True to its ad copy, the film takes “the hell out of self-help” and is the new gold standard in its genre. When you see this movie, you will learn, laugh, and clap your hands with joy!”  Wow! That’s quite an endorsement. Simon selected the movie to be the April release for Spiritual Cinema Circle.

The 7 Keys that can change your life

What about the 7 KEYS that are featured in the movie? How can they help … and what can they do for YOU? They can change your life – dramatically!

The KEY of APPRECIATION is about being grateful for all we have, which, in times of lack, can seem challenging to embrace. But, it is the key to having everything we ever wanted. By appreciating even the little blessings in our lives as well as the big victories and gifts, by affirming and celebrating positive aspects of our current reality, we will attract even more positive aspects … which means we will have even more to share with others. We are compensated based upon what we are willing to give. Don’t work against anything; work instead FOR those things you want in your life – abundance, good health, happiness, contentment, and love.

 The KEY to HARMONY is about the unconditional love that inspires harmonious interactions – beginning with self-love, then love for all humankind. We are all connected to each other and this key is the foundation for enduring relationships of all kinds. John Gray’s segments in this movie have couples bartering with their “point system” and laughing all the way to improving their relationships!

The KEY to FAITH connects the conscious mind to Infinite Intelligence; the basis for all miracles. Faith is the spiritual “chemical” which, when mixed with prayer, gives a direct connection to Infinite Intelligence. This key also reflects our ability to overcome adversity, believing there is a reason for all things. Molly Lord’s story of how she gained greater faith will have you rethinking your level of belief in the system that rules everything!

The KEY to COURAGE symbolizes our ability to confront fear, pain, risk/danger, uncertainty, or intimidation. It is to move beyond hardship, pain, threat of death, as well as to act rightly – even if it means you will stand alone. In this movie, you’ll come to understand what REAL courage is – not the absence of fear, but acting IN SPITE of it. The experts’ stories on COURAGE will astound and inspire you to be more courageous in your life.

The KEY to PASSION is about purpose and achievement. No one is richer than those who have found their labor of love and are busily engaged in performing it; it’s the highest form of our expression of desire. It connects supply with demand in all human needs and is the reason for all human progress. The imagination of man is sanctified because it brings the joy of self-expression to those who perform it.

The KEY to EMPATHY focuses on authentically understanding and appreciating diversity in any arena, which opens a door for unlimited growth.  Only a person with an open mind who becomes truly educated will enjoy the greater riches of life.

The KEY to VIBRATION indicates that all people have within them the power to change the conditions in their lives. Never before have we needed to believe this. Higher vibrations will consume and transform lower ones; thus each of us can change the energies in our lives by understanding the universal laws and applying the principles in such a way as to effect positive change in our lives.

What are you waiting for? See what all the buzz is about. Order your DVD today and take the first step to greater understanding of the Universal Laws and how you can use them to improve your situation and your life.

“The Keeper of the Keys” Seeks Distribution

"The Keeper of the Keys" sets itself apart from all other self-help movies

The Secret meets Harry Potter in new film

Viewers who have seen The Keeper of the Keys are calling it The Secret meets Harry Potter. That is because this groundbreaking personal development movie is unlike anything anyone has ever seen before in the genre. It was designed to motivate and inspire people by entertaining them – making them laugh, moving them, and keeping them so engaged that they will become empowered. It’s the first FUNNY self-help film, complete with special effects and vivid flashbacks. But keep your tissues handy; there are also moving stories that might bring a tear or two.

As Producer, I believed that the genre needed help. The existing films in the genre of personal development, self-growth, self-help, or self-improvement have sometimes offered powerful content, but they are about as much fun to watch as a lecture. Sure, you’ll be able to take away some important messages, but without a memorable, amusing, or moving anecdote to support the lessons, they are soon forgotten. The feedback I’ve gotten so far for The Keeper of the Keys has been incredible. The experts in this movie share stories that are compelling, engaging, and will stay with viewers long after they’ve seen the movie.”

That is why I am currently seeking domestic and international distribution. It is my goal to empower as many people as possible, and to do that, I need the support of an outstanding company that has the relationships and associations to help me to bring this movie to people everywhere.

Viewers respond with glowing praise for The Keeper of the Keys

Tania Gabrielle, celebrity astro-numerologist, wrote:

“On Saturday I watched a remarkable film. Its message completely encapsulates the big shift of 2012 in a fun, inspiring way. In fact, I was so touched by this movie that 15 minutes into it I pressed the pause button and grabbed a pad and pen so I could take notes!

The movie is called “The Keeper of the Keys”. Cameos from fabulous real-life spiritual leaders such as Jack Canfield, John Gray and Marci Shimoff are intertwined with the story of a man who takes a journey to discover the secrets to living life to the fullest. Numerous experts, young and old, all share their own incredible stories of personal empowerment.

I love getting jazzed up by other people’s spiritual breakthroughs. Their stories remind me why I am here and what I want to do – they are food for the soul.

The Keeper of the Keys shows you how to live the life you’ve always dreamed of.  Watch what for me was the most touching moment of the movie – when Hueina Su told her story… I am still getting chills recalling her words and the impact they had on me.

This is one fun, imaginative, enlightening film!
Watch this special movie now – it will ignite and inspire you in a big way!
(Have tissues close-by. I laughed and cried several times.)

Thanks, Tania … I couldn’t have said it better myself! Order the movie now and save 20% by entering promo code APRIL20. I can’t wait to hear from you about how this movie moved you!

Understanding the KEY of APPRECIATION

Lisa Ryan on The KEY of APPRECIATION in “The Keeper of the Keys”

Lisa Ryan Knows First-hand the Power of Gratitude; in "The Keeper of the Keys", Discover how Her Ability to Appreciate Even Challenging Times Gets Tested

Lisa Ryan knows what she’s talking about when she speaks about the Key of Appreciation. She calls her strategy of gratitude “Grategy” – and she’s built her life and her business around it. You can see Lisa share her story in The Keeper of the Keys, which is being touted as the best movie of the personal growth/self-help/personal development genre … even better than The Secret! Lisa’s new book on Grategy, The UPside of DOWN Times is due out later this year.

Originally, Lisa’s segment in the movie was a solid story; she had a lot for which to be thankful, but once she realized it and started a daily practice of gratitude, she started to receive even MORE blessings for which to be grateful. It wasn’t the most sympathetic story, but it was the truth. Some people haven’t had a lot of adversity in their lives … but that’s nothing to hold against anyone!

During filming and post-production on The Keeper of the Keys, Lisa got a phone call that would change her life. Her father, with whom she is very close, had had a stroke. He could hardly talk and the prognosis was sketchy.

Learning to Embrace a Daily Practice of Gratitude

It was time for Lisa to “walk her talk.” At first, it was challenging, but because she practiced being grateful EVERY day, it didn’t take long before she realized that even her father’s stroke offered her and her family much for which to be grateful, starting with how it brought them together. Her family members flew in and drove in to northeastern Ohio to be there to support her and her father.

Her husband, Scott, had the opportunity to step up and be the rock that Lisa needed during this challenging time. And she was grateful that she was there to help her father get through it all. And, her father is improving every day, thanks to Lisa and Scott’s help and the care he is receiving. He was even able to attend his daughter’s premiere of The Keeper of the Keys in Cleveland, Ohio last month!

The circumstances that could have made anyone else doubt the value of gratitude only served to reenforce Lisa’s belief in the power of gratitude. Get your copy of The Keeper of the Keys today to hear Lisa’s story and you’ll understand how important it is to always embrace the Key of Appreciation.

“The Secret” Meets “Harry Potter” in New Movie

The Keeper of the Keys is already being touted as being “the best film of its kind” by experts in the field. When it comes to personal development movies, most offer endless streams of “talking heads” – there is content, though they are anything but entertaining. The Keeper of the Keys breaks the mold. It’s the first self-help movie that is funny, plus it has special effects, a fictional story line, and a lot of “meat on the bone”, as one viewer commented, and all viewers agree that they want to see it again and again.

Producer Robin Jay Had a Bigger Vision for Self-help Films

Producer Robin Jay, who is also President of the Las Vegas Convention Speakers Bureau, said, “Many professional speakers have appeared in the recent flood of self-help movies, so I have tried to watch them all so I can stay on top of what is going on in the industry. But, I found I could hardly get through most of today’s personal development movies. It seems that ever since the success of The Secret, most personal development movies are little more than an endless stream of talking heads. There may be nuggets of wisdom, but the movies are drier than a two-year-old Saltine!

“I felt the industry could use a movie that was fun, funny, and entertaining, as well as empowering. After all, you can’t empower someone unless you first ENGAGE them! I thought, ‘Why couldn’t I combine inspiration, motivation, AND humor?’ My goal in producing The Keeper of the Keys was to create a fun movie that everyone would enjoy, even people who aren’t fans of the self-help genre. Because the movie offers a unique blend of experts sharing their experiences in a dream sequence complete with special effects, many are calling the movie a cross between The Secret and Harry Potter.

The Keeper of the Keys is already a hit. The Spiritual Cinema Circle (SCC) offered a non-exclusive license for the movie to be their April release. It will arrive in member’s mailboxes this week. SCC members are in more than 65 countries around the world. In honor of The Keeper of the Keys being this month’s featured release from SCC, Jay is offering a 20% discount to the first 200 people who visit the website and buy the DVD. Just enter the promo code APRIL20 when checking out. The site accepts Paypal, which takes all major credit cards, and shipping is available worldwide.

Stephen Simon is the co-founder of the SCC. He produced the romance classic Somewhere in Time with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour, What Dreams May Come with Robin Williams, and produced and directed Conversations with God with Neale Donald Walsch. He wrote that “The Keeper of the Keys is the most innovative and entertaining film of its kind ever made. Wildly original, howlingly funny, fast-paced, and utterly delightful in every way, the film is truly a gift to the world. True to its ad copy, the film ‘takes the hell out of self-help’ and is the new gold standard in its genre. When you see this movie, you will learn, laugh, and clap your hands with joy!” To view the trailer, click here.

The movie stars several of the teachers from The Secret, including Jack Canfield, John Gray, and Marci Shimoff, along with other experts who are newer to the self-help scene. One of the experts with whom Simon was most impressed was Hueina Su. He told her, “Thanks so much for your contribution to what I believe is the best film of its kind that I have ever seen–and, yes, that includes The Secret!

As co-founder of Spiritual Cinema Circle (SCC), Simon has also had to watch countless self-help or personal growth movies. Like Jay, he found that while many of them offer some value, they are anything but fun. Jay contacted Simon when she began the project early in 2011. “I wanted Stephen to direct my movie. He was too busy at the time to direct but, instead, he mentored me every step of the way. He loved the fact that I wanted to do something VERY different; in fact, it was Stephen’s suggestion to make the movie funny.”

“Then,” Jay said, “I hired Scott Cervine to star as the lead fictional character in the movie. I’d seen him in several movies and thought he’d be perfect as the star. I wanted someone who could be funny even when they are being miserable. It’s actually a tough combination to achieve. And, after my first production meeting, Cervine not only agreed to star in it, but said he wanted to direct the feature documentary, too.”

“I think viewers may have to remind themselves that this film is a documentary. We have a dream sequence based on the classic film, A Christmas Carol – where the character of Michael dreams he is trapped in a mansion, talking to experts, and he wants to wake up. The special effects are incredibly engaging and the stories are moving. It all makes for a brilliant combination of expert testimonials and an engaging story; viewers want to see what happens to Michael.”

Jay adds, “The expert segments are not the same, old, tired sound bites that we have seen in so many movies of this genre. Instead, I worked with the experts to uncover their most personal stories of transformation. The experts in the movie are authentic and honest, and their stories are nothing anyone has ever heard before. The movie is fun, funny, and incredibly moving. And many of the stories will have viewers feeling empowered and motivated to make positive changes in their own lives.”

Jeweler Harry Mason writes, “It exceeded my expectations, making me laugh and moving me to tears in parts. I have been a student of transformation for over 31 years. I have attended many seminars, read many books, listened to many CD’s and watched many movies, including The Secret. The Keeper of the Keys, is in a league of its own. It was a joy to watch. And, the best part was that it was very FUNNY! The humor in this movie was used exceptionally well to get across many of the points that lead to the main character’s transformation.”

Jay says, “Comparisons to the blockbuster movie The Secret are inevitable. Until now, it was the gold standard for the genre, which is why other producers have tried to copy its format. The Secret has enjoyed phenomenal success and has reached people who never even know the field of personal growth or self-help even existed. Oprah Winfrey loved it and interviewed the experts from the film, so the movie’s popularity grew quickly.

“But, The Secret became somewhat controversial because many viewers became frustrated with when they tried to implement the Law of Attraction – which is the subject of the film – to manifest wealth, but came up empty. They felt they were doing something wrong,” Jay explains. “But, while the movie touted the method for creating the life of your dreams, it was missing some of the actual ‘how-to’ action steps.”

“The advantage we have in The Keeper of the Keys is that instead of focusing on HAVING MORE, our movie is about BEING MORE. It offers a great ensemble of experts coming together to empower the viewers. We’ve heard nothing but positive comments from everyone who has seen it.”
