Hey folks, I just wanted to let you know about my new documentary film, <em>Far Out West: Inside California&apos;s Kerista Commune.</em> <br/>It&apos;s available now on <a href='https://www.amazon.com/Far-Out-West-Californias-Kerista/dp/B099CTCTWL/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&amp;keywords=far+out+west&amp;qid=1626883446&amp;s=instant-video&amp;sr=1-2'>Amazon,</a> (or for iTunes, Google Play, and Vudu <a href='https://geni.us/FarOutWest'>click here</a>).   <br/>The Kerista Commune (1971-1991) is the closest thing we have to a modern day descendant of Oneida. Kerista was a group marriage, that had a charismatic leader, a form of Mutual Criticism (which they named Gestalt-o-Rama) a successful company.  And the parallels are even more erie--they raised children together, and suffered an exquisitely painful breakup when the company made them wealthy.<br/> The Keristans are fascinating, intelligent people, who have been reluctant to share their story until now. My co-director and are the first people to be given access to the more than 250 hours of home movies that the Keristans made to document their utopia. <em> Far Out West</em> utilizes this footage and over 50 hours of interviews with the former Keristans to tell this amazing story. <br/>So, go ahead and rent it, and let me know what you think of it-- dangreenstone@yahoo.com<br/>Or, better yet, leave a review for the film on Amazon or iTunes, which helps us get the word out. <br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
