“We all knowingly or unknowingly live and exist on different levels or planes; call it dreaming, day dreaming, spacing out, talking to oneself or listening to our inner voice. The Wayshower brings this reality to the screen showing our quest for truth and meaning in Jesus Garcia’s journey. His search for his teacher, his ‘Wayshower’ is a universal one as we all play student and teacher simultaneously. Eric Roberts’ stoic performance brings to mind Henry Fonda in The Grapes of Wrath while Peter Stormare is a much more unpleasant Hannibal Lecter.The Wayshower enlightens and demonstrates a truth we can all relate to and identify with, and fabulous actors, beautiful locations and an emotionally touching story keep us riveted in our seats from start to finish. It did for me. ”
– Laura Mola, Writer / Producer

“I’ve seen the Wayshower about 7 times and I’m still catching the nuances of the teachings in the movie. There’s much beneath the surface of the movie that lends itself to a multi-dimensional experience. I consider it a gift to receive the spiritual energy that J-R has infused into the movie and to give back by bringing my body to the screenings. Besides, it’s fun to see some of J-R’s stories come to life.”
