Hi! My name is Velcrow Ripper, and I'm a documentary filmmaker, and a rebel for truth and love. I'm in the midst of “The FIerce Light Project”, a cycle of feature documentaries, creative non-fiction novels, webcasts and conferences driven by the search for possibility in a time of darkness, centered on the question: how can we turn end times into new beginnings? It is fueled by the belief that these tumultuous times are the growing pains of the planet, as we grope our way through a stormy adolescence towards a spiritual maturity, in the midst of very real threats of global collapse.
We are currently distributing ScaredSacred, a feature documentary, which is part 1 of the trilogy, based on my five year journey to the ground zero's of the world, in search of stories of transformation in the face of crisis. After picking up awards at festivals around the world, ScaredSacred has been launched theatrically with tremendous sucess and is now out on DVD. You can get it on Amazon.com, Netflix, Target, Blockbuster etc . You can order it on Amazon. www.scaredsacred.org
I'm now beginning the release of FierceLight:When Spirit Meets Action, part two of the Fierce Light trilogy, about the rising phenomena of 'Spiritual Activism' that is unfolding around the world. Contemporary stories in the vein of Gandhi and Martin Luther King. It is about the unbelievable power that happens when spirit meets action, a zeitgeist that's building around the world. www.fiercelight.org

The next in the series is “EvolveDissolve” about the evolution of conscioussness.
Parallel to that, I'll be shooting a new feature doc, called “Redvolution:Dare to Disturb the Universe” co-directed with spiritual cowgirl and Redvolutionary, Sera Beak, author of “The Red Book: A deliciously unorthodox approach to igniting your divine spark.” It's about becoming you own spiritual super hero.
I am an outgoing, self assured film director, with a strong sense of life purpose - I'm here to be part of the awakening of a new paradigm of humanity, one of mutually sustaining relationships with each other and the planet. Call it Love. I have a strong sense of compassion, but also have a great sense of humour. I am very positive, loving, and have a lot to give. I love humanity, I love the planet, and I love life.
