The Georgia Guidestones Movie

After sucessful screenings in 2012 and 2103, The Georgia Guidestones Movie had an extremely limited DVD release. Unfortunately, due to funding issues, the film is not currently available to the public on DVD or online streaming. The filmmaker hopes to eventually return to this project and release the film digitally. Update: the entire movie can now be viewed online

In addition to the public screenings and festivals, there have been private screenings of the film to various groups and organizations.

The sparse release of this film is unfortunate but not disheartening. The goals and motivation behind the project can be read in the Mission Statement section of this website, and while a more widespread release would have been preferred, it was not a requirement for success.

If you or your group are interested in a screening, public or private, please contact us via the Facebook page. Thank you.

The Original Mission Statement:

1. Produce a documentary about the Georgia Guidestones located in Elbert County, Georgia. This production will delve into:
   • The story of their creation and placment
   • An examination of the work that takes place inside an Elbert County granite shed
   • The monument's astronomical features
   • Opinions and reactions from members of the Elbert County community
   • Theories and views concerning the mysterious R.C. Christian
2. Present the art of Southern storytelling and foster a sense of community within the area of Elberton, Georgia through the inclusion of locals telling their stories
3. Promote movie via a combination of outlets (PBS, festivals, theaters, universities, etc.)

What was Accomplished

1. The documentary was completed in 2012, at a length of about 82 minutes. After a few screenings, a slight re-edit cut the film to 68 minutes. One of the segments cut, known as "the story of Dutchy," was turned into an "extras" segment in the limited DVD release.
   • The story of the creation and placement was completed by examining and re-telling the official story, visiting the granite facility where the Guidestones were created, interviewing key players involved with the creation of the monument, and by comparing and contrasting the modern day monument-making process with how the Guidestones were made.
   • "Examining the work that takes place inside a granite shed" turned out to be, personally for the filmmaker, the most rewarding part of the project. The movie visits several granite facilities, as well as a granite quarry, and examines the monument-making process from quarry to completed monument.
     The hard work, craftmenship, and artistry that goes into making and cutting a monument is truly amazing. The story of the granite worker is unfortunately often overlooked due to the more sensational or controversial parts of Guidestones' story.
   • An astronomer on location at the Guidestontes examined the astronomical features on camera
   • Locals were used throughout the documentary. Their opinions and reactions were presented
   • The movie examined theories behind the identity of R.C. Christian, beginning with a widespread, local belief that the Guidestones are simply a "hoax" or "publicity stunt," as well as other theories about his identity. This included an interview with a expert in western esotericism concerning another popular idea that the Guidestones are a Rosicrucian monument and/or connected to the Freemasons. Letters from R.C. Christian were uncovered, including a previously unknown 1992 correspondence to Dr. Francis Crick
2. Narrator Paul Floyd and the use of locals captured southern Storytelling, and the movie received a positive reception from the local newspaper and at an Elberton screening.
3. The movie was promoted through the above listed outlets, except PBS . . . didn't quite get that far. In addition to screenings and festivals, there was a limited DVD and BluRay release. Please see the Status section of this website for more information
