INDIGO - THE MOVIE...PUBLICITY
From i-Newswire.com
INDIGO is about taking responsibility for the choices we make. It’s about the thin line that separates success from failure, and love from regret. It is a film about redemption, grace and the healing powers of a new generation of psychic and gifted “Indigo” children.
From PeakOnline
The film tells the story of one family's three fateful choices that result in bankruptcy, jail, and their estrangement and total dissolution. Through the healing and psychic powers of the family's youngest member, Grace, a 10-year-old Indigo child, the family finally has a chance.
From The Citizen Voice
When Twyman first conceived Indigo, he never imagined he would end up as both the writer and executive producer of a feature film. His love of Indigo children spurred him to risk more than a $500,000 to bring Indigo to the big screen.With the assistance and support of his two best friends, Neale Donald Walsch (who co-wrote the script and stars as the Grandfather of an Indigo child) and Stephen Simon (who produced and directed), Indigo will premiere at more than 100 locations across the country on Jan. 29.
The buzz about Indigo has been nothing short of amazing. At the Santa Fe Film Festival the first showing of the film (in a 500 seat venue) sold out in less than four hours, a first for the four-year-old festival.Three more screenings sold out the next day, and the film won the coveted Audience Choice Award over more than 200 other films.
From The Standard-Times SouthCoastToday
For those who consider themselves spiritual but not necessarily religious a new genre of film is emerging called spiritual cinema. To reach this target audience, a new concept in independent film distribution was created to launch the movie "Indigo."
In less than one week, a targeted Internet campaign resulted in 36 sold-out showings and 70 percent of available tickets being sold for the film's Jan. 29 premiere in AMC theaters. "Indigo" also will be shown on Jan. 29 in more than 250 churches and organizations across the United States and in more than 20 foreign countries.
"This unique and unprecedented type of release may be the beginning of a true sea change in the way independent films are promoted and distributed," said Stephen Simon, Hollywood producer and director of "Indigo."

(In researching the media coverage, it became obvious how often the word "Indigo" is being used in a wide variety of ways. This is the first time I've encountered it, but it appears that it's not going to be the last.)
Catechism of the Catholic Church entry #2116:
All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to "unveil" the future. Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers. They contradict the homor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone.
Having an Indigo child would be a Catholic's worst nightmare. This is not from the Trinitarian God.
