About
the Film
Finding Joe is an exploration of famed Mythologist Joseph
Campbell’s studies and their continuing impact on our culture. Through
interviews with visionaries from a variety of fields interwoven with enactments
of classic tales by a sweet and motley group of kids, the film navigates the
stages of what Campbell dubbed The Hero’s Journey: the challenges, the fears,
the dragons, the battles, and the return home as a changed person. Rooted in
deeply personal accounts and timeless stories, Finding Joe shows
how Campbell’s work is relevant and essential in today’s world and how it
provides a narrative for how to live a fully realized life – or as Campbell
would simply state, how to “follow your bliss”.

This film was fascinating; I found an interview with Pat Solomon that explains how he "found his bliss" (to paraphrase Joseph Campbell) while making it. It really puts it into perspective.
