Incredible and stunning cinematography and fantastic editing. The storyline was captivating from the first second. Frances Fisher's portrayal of an almost neurotic, Type A, advertising executive was spot on and raised the enjoyment level of this movie.As Tammy (Fisher), a high-powered ad executive driving to Phoenix for a very important meeting. She took a wrong turn and is driving through the Sedona area when a plane makes an emergency landing on the road and basically rear-ends her car. Tammy is not only forced to miss her meeting with one of the most important clients of her career, but is relegated to a 2-3 day visit in this town of "strange" people. As the story progresses, Tammy realizes that the pit stop may have happened for a reason. Tammy dismisses the notion of the vortex effect, but gradually begins to soften when all her setbacks in Sedona bring surprising consequences. The story takes twists and turns suggesting that the vortexes of Sedona play a part in connecting the various scenarios within the film.The only downside to this movie is the acting of some of the supporting characters....however, I thoroughly enjoyed the film which is available on Hulu. The cinematography itself is worth the watch.

As a Sedona resident, I could not wait to see this movie. Happy to say, it was all I hoped for and more. Sedona (the City) has to be experienced first hand to understand the energy and synchronicity here, but this film gives the audience a glimpse into the metaphysical experience one finds in this amazing place. I loved this movie for accurately capturing a tiny slice of mystical Sedona. Tommy Stoval and Marc Sterling did a wonderful job creating a light-hearted, entertaining look into the extraordinary vibrational aura that some people find a bit uncomfortable here. Others, like me, find it life changing and heart opening. Sedona, The Motion Picture, demonstrates how so many seemingly everyday happenings become serendipituous events that change us in profound ways and reconnect us to unconditional love. Those of us fortunate enough to call Sedona home have a phrase for it: Sedona moments. Congratulations to everyone involved with this film!

This film was not what I was expecting. Everything about it's off-kilter approach -- including its enhanced landscapes and innovative shots, quirky spiritualists, and out-of-touch tourists -- lends itself to capturing Sedona's uplifting lightheartedness. In this spirit, it's appropriate that a balloon floating upon a breeze sets all the synchronicity in motion. I take the experiences of the waylaid tourist entirely seriously, as seriously as I take the Apostle Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus. Too bad Paul couldn't have been on the road to Sedona. Christianity would have had a much lighter touch in achieving the same end.
