About Us
A Mani Stone is a carved stone with Sacred Mantras from Tibetan Buddhism. You will find them high in the Himalayan Mountains of Tibet. The Mani Stone mantras say: "Om Mani Padme Hum" which generally translates as: "Find Wisdom Within". This is the essence of our mission, to find wisdom within our subjects through the documentary format. We are presenting those extraordinary individuals who are making the world a better place.

Our Story
My name is Quentin Wood. I have been fascinated with expression through film making since 1985. I began traveling the world in 1990 with a basic video camera and a limited budget, I decided to visit Sacred Sites to capture some of their inspiration and magic. I went through Europe, Asia, South America, Central America, and the Middle East on a wild ride of discovery. I completed over 30 projects.
Now, I am turning my camera on North America and those amazing transformational places and people that are my neighbors. I want to hear their stories and tell them to everyone. Stories of local characters and that have made this world a more interesting place. By interviewing people and finding great stories, I hope to plant seeds and inspire.
Come with us on this magical journey. Join us with your skill, creativity, and most importantly,.... a video camera.
