Filmmaker Monika K Adler: “We can create a more valuable life if we work to expand our consciousness”

Development of our own consciousness is the only way for humanity to progress. We invest much of our resources in new technologies and the only advance we have is one: production of objects. Devoured by consumerism and degraded to the level of ‘ego,’ we’ve lost contact with our souls. By working to expand our consciousness, we can create a more valuable life.

As a part of my series about the rising stars in popular culture, I had the pleasure of interviewing Monika K. Adler. Monika is a Polish film director and photographer, based in London. Her work has shown worldwide; in over a hundred film festivals, museums and commercial galleries. She’s now working on her debut feature film Sick Bacchus; which tells a story of the existential slavery of hyper-capitalism, set in the heart of London’s wealthy elite.

Thank you so much for joining us Monika! Can you tell us a story about what brought you to this specific career path?
