Afterlife with Documentarian Ben Harl

Language of the Soul Podcast

When the veil between life and death seems fragile, where do we turn for answers? Join us as we discuss the afterlife with writer and musician-turned-filmmaker Ben Harl. In recent years, Ben has moved his passion for storytelling from the page to the screen, learning the craft of filmmaking through trial and error (and a huge amount of help from fellow local filmmakers!) As owner and Creative Director of Silver Compass Studios, Ben has written, directed, and produced several award-winning short films and is in post-production on his first feature film, a documentary Afterlife.
In the latter half of our discussion, we cast a spotlight on the ways in which the pandemic has reshaped our spiritual landscapes and confronted the often-avoided topic of mortality with honesty and vulnerability. The episode navigates the psychological depths of grief and abandonment, touches on the intersection of science and religion, and contemplates the concept of faith, reincarnation, and our individual contributions to the collective consciousness.

Now more than ever, it’s tempting to throw our hands in the air and surrender to futility in the face of global strife. Storytellers know we must renew hope daily. We are being called upon to embrace our interconnectivity, transform paradigms, and trust the ripple effect will play its part. In the words of Lion King producer Don Hahn (Episode 8), “Telling stories is one of the most important professions out there right now.” We here at Language of the Soul Podcast could not agree more.
