IN SEARCH OF THE FUTURE II
THE CHALLENGE
The human species has backed itself into a corner by creating a dangerously divided world based on separation, fear, greed, exploitation, competition, domination and war. We now face an escalating existential metacrisis of global proportions.
THE SOLUTION
A desirable future calls for a profound awakening – an upshift in individual and collective worldview, a deep examination of our fundamental assumptions about the nature of reality, and unprecedented programs of radical collaboration, environmental restoration and restorative justice.
A NEW EARTH
Once we awaken, deploy our extraordinary capabilities, and unite as one human family, we will co-create a new reality, free of war, violence, separation and competition. All that is missing is the vision and the will to wake up and do what needs to be done.
Connie and Andrew (a.k.a Cameron/Baxter Films, LLC) are traveling the world in these challenging times, asking the question: how is humanity going to rise above the existential polycrisis or metacrisis that we have created for ourselves? This website focuses on the upcoming sequel to our 2007 film IN SEARCH OF THE FUTURE: What Do The Wise Ones Know? We are now considering the possibility of IN SEARCH OF THE FUTURE: The Series. – instead of this project resulting in a single film, what if it goes on forever, as a cutting-edge series of compelling episodes distributed via the latest technology?
The question is: can our endangered species wake up, rise up, unite and embark on an unprecedented campaign of radical collaborations and co-create a desirable future for our species and all life on our beautiful planet? Does the term “homo sapiens” carry a clue, perchance? Are we sapient, yet? Even more intriguing, could we be moving towards a new phase in human evolution: Holo Sapiens?
We began filming brief statements from some of the world’s leading visionary thinkers in the spring of 2023. First stop, Santa Fe, New Mexico and then Sedona, Arizona, where an event called “Igniting the Holomovement” was laying the groundwork for some world-changing programs. Next adventure, California, followed by an extended East Coast journey in the fall, then back to our home base in Colorado to prepare for a 3-month Australia trip in early 2024. Back in the US, we continue to travel, collecting ever-more relevant clips from a never-ending stream of exceptional, visionary people.
The film/series will introduce you to over two hundred extraordinary human beings, each of whom offers a unique gem of wisdom. Woven together into a beautiful, hope-inducing tapestry, these inspiring gems will paint a compelling picture of a safe, beautiful, abundant new world, free of greed, fear and violence. Can we do it? YES WE CAN!

Teaser V2: IN SEARCH OF THE FUTURE II: The Only Way Out Is UP!
Here is a brief sample of what to expect from this film. When we departed for Australia on February 19th, we had already filmed about seventy clips with a diverse collection of extraordinary human beings all over the USA. There is much more to come, but this little “teaser” will give you a a preview. Let us know your thoughts, please. Once we return to the US in mid-May, we will put together a “Down Under Teaser.”
The Down Under Teaser: IN SEARCH OF THE FUTURE II: The Only Way Out Is UP!
After a truly wonderful three months in Australia, where we were invited to two large indigenous corroborees (sacred dances) and the 50th anniversary celebrations of the discovery of the 42,000 year-old remains of Mungo Lady and Mungo Man, members of an ancient and sophisticated Australian culture, we departed from Sydney on May 10th with almost 40 interviews in the can, ten with Aboriginal Elders, the Original Custodians of the land. Here is the Down Under Teaser!

Australia Was AMAZING!
We were in a land down under February 19th – May 10th, 2024. Many invitations and opportunities presented themselves, and a little financial support materialized. At one point, Andrew turned to Connie and asked: “Do we now have more friends in Australia than in the United States?

After a wonderfully warm welcome in Sydney hosted by the very special Lynda Millin, we embarked on a 9-hour train journey to a rather remote place called Seymour Station, where we met with Benjamin J.
