“School of Thought” is an adventure into the Maharishi School of the Age of Enlightenment. It’s cast includes Academy Award-nominee, David Lynch (“Blue Velvet,” “Twin Peaks” and “The Elephant Man”), Donovan (Mellow Yellow, Hurdy Gurdy Man and Sunshine Superman) and the world-renowned quantum physicist and presidential candidate, John Hagelin (“What The Bleep Do We Know!?”), and world renowned musician, Moby.
Together, these peacemakers are touring the world with their mind-blowing solution to creating harmonious schools and world peace. Their answer: Have every student in every school practice Transcendental Meditation twice a day and watch them quickly become happier, healthier and more focused, thereby dissolving the life-threatening stress which typically manifests itself in young people through drug abuse and violence, often in fatal ways.

Q: How do you feel about your film screening at the 2009 International Beverly Hills Film Festival?
A: It's wonderful to have a screening at BHFF, since the Academy Award nominated director, David Lynch has a major role in our documentary and he lives in Southern California.  So, in a word, all of us involved with at “School of Thought” are very happy to be part of this festival.

Q: Can you say a few words about the film?
A: “School of Thought” is about the David Lynch Foundation and their mission to eliminate violence and drug abuse at schools across the planet by having every student meditate twice a day.

Q: Anything else you’d like to add about the film?
A: On the same day, April 4, 2009 as our screening of the documentary at the BHFF, scenes from “School of Thought” will also be shown at the Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York as part of a special video presentation.  The concert, "Change Begins Within" is a benefit for the David Lynch Foundation and their goal is to get a million students meditating.  Having “School of Thought” screen at the BHFF and also be shown at Radio City Music Hall on the same day is fantastic for us.
