KNOW THYSELF
Through a series of episodes, Know Thyself seeks to expand our unique connection to consciousness through our own expanding awareness of, and relationship with, Self. A mother/daughter filmmaking team synergistically explore their own overlapping paths. From personal, intimate issues, to broad spectrum analysis of how they perceive the world we all live in, the viewer is invited along with them to contemplate their own understanding and knowing of self where these filmmakers believe all answers lie.
Episode 1
Faith is a Bird
Episode 1 documents personal challenges that push beyond the human sensory apparatus to light the way of possibility. Julia, on a journey to conceive life, and her mother Marcy on a clarity-seeking path, explore outside the parameters of consensus thinking. Discoveries are made organically and when woven into the process of understanding, a deeper sense of knowing is experienced.

Marcelina (Marcy) Cravat, trained at the Art Center College of Design and The Berkeley Digital Film Institute, is an award-winning documentary filmmaker. Her first
film, Angel Azul, an environmental documentary narrated by Peter Coyote, and her second film Dirt Rich narrated by actor Greg Cruz, toured over 120 film festivals and picked up numerous
awards including the Grand Jury prize at the Dubuque International Film Festival. Her latest film TERRAIN, co-produced by Dr. Andrew Kaufman, was created during the worldwide lockdown
and in timely fashion served to inform viewers about the reality of the disproven germ theory when the world was in a state of fear driven panic based on faulty beliefs. This film is
available on Amazon and Ickonic.
Currently she is in production on a series of episodes entitled Know Thyself, that follow the path of a mother/daughter team seeking deeper expansion of self-knowing through curiosity, inquiry, exploration and discovery.
Marcy grew up in and around filmmakers as the daughter of character actor, Nick Cravat, and his circus partner and life-long friend and actor, Burt Lancaster. But it wasn't until later in her life that she embarked upon the transition from photography to filmmaking, a bittersweet reality as it was a decade after both her father and Burt passed.
As a filmmaker, Marcy aims to creatively present messages that inspire people to explore for themselves so that they might embrace their own understandings and the value and responsibility of their unique consciousness.
