THANK YOU! The current fund for the motion picture movie is $198,000.

We deeply appreciate all the dedication and participation from those who donated and encouraged others to do so. The sum raised was almost entirely from smaller donations therefore a large number of people donated. We will keep people informed as to how it is progressing. Thank you again from all of us at The Venus Project.

Our aim is to develop a serious major motion picture depicting life in a resource based economy. This film would be designed to reach the general public throughout the world to introduce an exciting, sustainable new social direction, depicting a vision of what our future can be if we intelligently apply science and technology with environmental and human concern. A future where war, poverty and hunger could be but a distant memory.

Today we face very trying times where economies and countries are teetering on the brink of chaos. Our resources are being depleted through waste and irresponsible management. Technology is displacing jobs that are not coming back. Most of our energy needs are obtained through methods which are destructive to the environment and ourselves through the plundering of finite resources which are being consumed at an alarming rate. Existing social institutions are not taking the consequences of this same course of action seriously. These and many more problems will be culminating in the near future and we are not prepared to deal with what is coming.

This film will offer a possible alternative to this global dilemma. It will be an awakening to many and could point a positive direction to work toward. It portrays in detail a global civilization, which secures, protects, and encourages a more humane world for all people - something we have not been able to do throughout history - where all of the world's resources become the common heritage of all of the earth's people.

This does not presume to imply a utopian civilization but one that is always in the process of modification and change; an emergent society where our technology is used to benefit the lives of all.

The film would provide a vision of a peaceful society in which all human beings work toward a global family on planet Earth. A civilization in which all people are engaged in the pursuit of a better understanding of themselves and the world they share.
