Awaken is a glorious celebration of the spirit of life and a visually stunning exploration of our Earth and an ode to the Cosmos; while exploring humanity’s relationship with technology and the natural world spanning the globe.

This documentary is the feature film debut of Director Tom Lowe, who also produced, and served as Cinematographer. Executive Produced by Terrence Malick and Godfrey Reggio, with the music score composed by Joseph Trapanese; all of these talented visionaries in their own respective industries, and all coming together in this stunning creative space. Narrated by Liv Tyler, lends to this film a beautiful voice. Awaken was filmed entirely in 4K over a 5-year period span in over 30 countries around our world. This film pioneers extraordinary time-lapse, time-dilation, underwater, and aerial cinematography techniques to give to your vision new eyes for which to view new sights unseen and embrace the tremendous beauty, importance, and preservation of our amazing expansive planet globally.
