- PROJECT 27 -
The incredible adventures and journey of a modern-day Mystic, Artist, and Musician who has a unique and authentic inquisitiveness about spirituality and how it is expressed.
WHAT MAKES THIS STORY UNIQUE?
The unique thing about his story is the fact that he has years of footage to back it up already in the public arena. That gives it a level of realism that is not normally seen with normal reality TV personalities.
There aren’t many programs that come to mind as far as a comparison, but I envision a mix of Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations and Iyanla Vanzant’s Fix My Life. I say that because we will be able to get access to parts of the city that most can’t due to the people we interact with, yet we will be discussing deep spiritual topics and helping people expand their thought process and hopefully see themselves in a higher light.
WHAT IS THE STORY/SYNOPSIS?
In 2014 in the Florida Everglades Michael’s life was changed forever when he instantly experienced his consciousness being separated from his body and was suddenly “seeing” the same clouds he was observing from the ground from above. Once he realized it was “him” that was experiencing without eyes or a body, he was instantly back in his head but with an entirely new awareness of his surroundings. He was able to “see” the connection between all things, know that he was more than his body and saw past the illusions of separation. He was Awake.
More importantly, he knew that each person had the same ability and that this realization and connection is what could bring about lasting peace on this planet. He didn’t know exactly what he needed to do, but knew that he needed to take action and began to document his unbelievable experience and get out into the world to observe, learn more about this state and share his story.
Project 27 follows Vikter on his travels across the country being led by his intuition and starts off with him backtracking the first leg of Project 27 journey which was a 27 day solo trek from Florida to California where he stopped and filmed in 12 different cities along the way. At those stops he shared his experiences and talked about the pressing issues in peoples lives and how spirituality plays a part in how they see themselves, other. Also during the trip he was able to record and creating new music and experiencing different ways of living and extraordinary stories from people along the journey.

WHAT TYPE OF INTERACTIONS/EVENTS DO YOU EXPECT TO TAKE PLACE?
This is a good example of the type of interactions and footage we will get. This summary happened in Apopka Florida and is a great example of the “coincidences” that happened during that brief visit there. The music is original and adds another layer of creativity to the project and the overall theme of this visit was facing fear. Everything you see is real life and nothing was staged.

This is the full length version of just that trip to show all the things that happened and give a little more context to the ending, but these types of occurrences will happen during the filming and I don’t even know what we will capture but it will be life changing as these events helped these two overcome simple fears that they’ve been harboring for years. Also keep in mind that I had no foreknowledge of these fears and I simple allowed them to overcome them on their own terms and at their own pace.

Look for the uniqueness of circumstance, the coincidences, the fluidity and the care in which it is handled and the reactions of the people as they experience it. This example in my opinion will allow the audience to connect to the things that they can overcome and allow them to relate to simple fears or phobias that they too harbor that people may not know about. It also shows that sometimes you just need a person to be there as support to let you show yourself that that the courage you look for is already within you.
WHAT IS YOUR ARTISTIC APPROACH/STORY ARC?
The story will follow the trip back to the 12 cities that were visited in the journey up to California (Project 27). At each city you will meet the “ambassador(s)” of that city and they will give a brief tour of what they do, their profession, lifestyle and explain themselves and their beliefs. We will have a discussion on how they came to their conclusions and how they got information and how they handled new and conflicting information that may have went against what they were taught or how they were brought up.
We will experience the city through the ambassador(s) and the audience will be able to get a feel for them and their background. In each city we will have a discussion with the ambassador and other people that we invite and encounter along he journey in that location. I will show them (this will be shown in all the cities to keep it consistent) this Apple and Tree video (https://youtu.be/BETxPR_4oyo) and we will allow the discussion to happen organically to see which they identify with, their initial thoughts and how it relates to them. I will be there to answer questions on my journey and intent and we will let the conversation occur organically as people share their thoughts and perspectives freely and openly.
We will be capturing the conversations, reactions and discussions and we will observe how people react and the difference in belief and thought. The intent is to show the commonality or disagreement between basic beliefs and discuss how unity (no matter what we believe) will allow us to build a better future and that division and fighting amounts ourselves over details are what is slowing down our spiritual evolution.
He is used to living outside of his comfort zone and is willing to try new things and expand his horizons. He allows us to see life though his eyes and shares the spotlight with others, as he knows that they are the real stars of the show.
WHY TELL THIS STORY NOW?
There is no better time to do the right thing and to tell the truth. Plus the current climate of “Fake News” and acceptable half-truths only create more confusion, separation and doubt in our society. We need things we can agree on and come together on regardless of our differences. We need to begin to tear down more walls instead of build them up.
WHAT IMPACT OR POTENTIAL FOR PUBLIC DISCOURSE IS ANTICIPATED OR HOPED FOR?
There are two things that can't generally be discussed in the workplace and in schools from my experience, Politics and Religion. Yet, those two things are driving forces in our society and dictate so much of our daily lives and how we interact with each other.
I would like to take the taboo and sometimes ridiculed conversation of Religion and Spirituality and bring it to the forefront using the latest information and Science. I believe that we can have a civilizing and rational national discussion so we can better understand our differences and more importantly our similarities. In this day of information and technology there is no reason why we should continue to live based on untruths and we live in one of the few countries that is still free enough to express this king of thought. I believe that this project will be a catalyst for such a discussion in a respectful and engaging manner.
I believe that now is the time for the conversations that I’ve had with people who don’t speak up for fear of ridicule or judgment be seriously explored and fairly be presented in the public arena.
WHO ARE THE CHARACTERS?
His family is one of very unique characters. From his mom who makes dresses out of hair to my uncle who is a well-known local black Elvis impersonator. I’d imagine that they would say Vikter’s unique as well from their perspective as he’s given up everything that was included in his “normal” life to share his experience and explore the world not knowing where he’d land.
Here is Vikter explaining what happened when he tried to tell his family what occurred to him during a Thanksgiving trip and along with his experience hosting an after Thanksgiving event in Pensacola right after his awakening.

Join Vikter as he travels the country and gets into new adventures and meets interesting people from all walks of life and creates music and art along the journey that captures it on an artistic level. All while showing people the divinity within themselves and that we are connected in ways that we can’t imagine and that unity and peace is how we create a better world for us and our future generations.
