GRACE AND GRIT - SPECIAL PRESENTATION

ILLUMINATE Film Festival in Sedona, Arizona May 20-26th presents Grace and Grit starring Mena Suvari and Stuart Townsend. Based on the acclaimed book, Trey’s Journals the film tells the true story of love and transcendence of Ken Wilber, called the “Einstein of Consciousness Studies,” and his wife Treya.

American Beauty film star Mena Suvari and acclaimed actor Stuart Townsend break hearts in this true love story of transcendence. “I think of this film in some way as a poem. It’s a love letter. My aim has been for it to seduce the viewer into a state where you get lost beyond time.” - Director, Sebastian Siegel

Grace and Grit tells the true story of iconic philosopher Ken Wilber (Townsend) and his wife Treya (Survari). Based on the acclaimed book, Treya’s Journals, they fall madly in love in the 1980s California and are immediately faced with challenges that tear them apart. They overcome by discovering connections beyond this world and life beyond life.

ILLUMINATE Film Festival is proud to be able to offer this special presentation of the film. Over seven days, ILLUMINATE will screen 30 films — as well as host signature panels, filmmaker Q&As, luminary conversations, and stimulating immersive workshops featuring more than 75 filmmakers, guest speakers, and film industry representatives from around the globe.

“The festival is designed to help audiences find their true path to well-being,” says festival founder and Executive Director Danette Wolpert. “And with the year we all just had, we feel these films — and the festival — are needed more than ever.”
