Love Letter to Liverpool – Synopsis

Love Letter to Liverpool is a mythopoetic drama exploring grief, memory, and the thin veil between life and death.

Set in modern-day Liverpool, the story follows Runi, a young man caring for his dying grandfather, who has a foot in both realms. As his grandfather’s passing draws near, Runi’s grief erupts into anger at the world. In the midst of his turmoil, he reconnects with an old friend, Ezra, and forms a new bond with Maya. Together, they create a healing container around Runi as he begins to face the mystery of death and transformation.

Carl Jung’s famous Liverpool Dream becomes a symbolic key to Runi’s journey. Through dreamlike encounters and a visionary dialogue with Jung himself, Runi comes to see that death is not an ending but a doorway. His grief gradually transforms into understanding and acceptance, and he learns that love, like consciousness, transcends death.

Love Letter to Liverpool is both a cinematic and spiritual journey, a meditation on how the human heart, broken open by loss, becomes a vessel for light. Blending film, poetry, and psychology, it invites us to see Liverpool not merely as a city, but as a living metaphor for awakening - a City of Soul where science and spirituality finally meet.

Mythopoetic Storytelling Best Serves Transpersonal Psychology

We are not just creating films - we are opening mythic fields.

The word mythopoetic derives from mythos (story) and poiein (to make). Yet in modern culture, “myth” has been degraded to mean “untruth.” This cultural forgetting mirrors the rise of rationalism and empiricism, which dismissed the symbolic, metaphorical, and sacred as unprovable and therefore invalid. But in many Indigenous and ancient traditions, myths are not false they are vessels of profound, layered truth.

Myth is not about factual accuracy. It is about soul resonance, a language of archetype, dream, and inner knowing. In an age of information overload and narrative starvation, mythopoetic film offers not new facts - but new mirrors. It doesn’t just speak to the mind. It calls to the soul.

What Is Mythopoetic Film?

Mythopoetic Film is a unique cinematic modality that:

Integrates archetypal psychology and transpersonal states
Offers symbolic imagery, and poetic tone
Activates the right hemisphere through rhythm, silence, and metaphor
Creates soul states, not just story arcs

Theoretical Foundations

Mindfield Filmworks is grounded in:

Transpersonal Psychology - Exploring states beyond the ego
Jungian Archetypes - Collective mythic blueprints
Hemispheric Brain Theory - Right-hemisphere primacy for symbolic knowing
Ritual Studies - Story as sacred enactment and initiation

Modern-Day Mystery Rites

Alignment with Mythopoetic Filmwork

Mindfield’s films are modern-day mystery rites, inviting the viewer into an initiation rather than a plot.

This is where the approach departs from conventional cinema: it seeks not just narrative arc, but psyche-arc, tracing the soul’s journey, not merely the character’s. That aligns deeply with Zimmermann's lineage: philosophy as drama, drama as initiation.

Initiation by Crisis
The stories begin with rupture - illness, grief, identity collapse, death, or spiritual emergency.
Emotional and Ethical Confrontation
The viewer is invited into the inner world of the characters, led by phobos (fear of loss, of dissolution, of not-knowing) and eleos (empathy for suffering, courage, compassion).
Transpersonal Transformation
The mythopoetic mode allows for archetypal and symbolic frameworks that elevate the story beyond personal narrative into soul narrative. This is the krisis - the moment of sacred encounter or disorientation.
Return or Purification
The resolution isn’t necessarily a return to normal, but the emergence of something wiser, more spacious, and more soul-aware. The audience is also changed - not just informed, but transformed.

Mythopoetic Film in Practice

What Makes Mindfield Filmworks Different?

We create films that initiate, not explain.
We blend mythopoetic form with transpersonal function.
We design full-spectrum experiences: film + story circle + ritual + integration.
We use the screen as a portal, not a product.
We treat film as sacred technology - cinematic rites of passage.

Narrative Alignment with the Seven Transpersonal Stages

The soul arc of a Mindfield film echoes the Seven Transpersonal Stages:

Imagination – A symbolic or mythic seed begins to stir
Curiosity – The call to journey, a rupture in ordinary life
Creativity – Visioning, symbolisation, descent into the imaginal
Expanded States – Dream, ritual, death-rebirth, or experiences of altered consciousness
Wisdom – A new seeing, often hard-won through suffering
Spirituality – Reconnection with deeper meaning or the sacred
Love – Integration, return, offering, or compassionate presence

This inner architecture guides both protagonist and audience.

Why We Tell Mythopoetic Stories

Transpersonal Psychology cannot be fully expressed through conventional storytelling. Linear plots serve the ego.

But the soul descends, spirals, dissolves, and returns anew.

Mythopoetic film speaks to this mystery.

These stories don’t just tell us something. They do something.

They bypass the analytical mind, soften the armour, and open the gate.
And in that opening, the real journey begins.

Mindfield Filmworks is not an entertainment studio - it is a cinematic Mystery School.
