Below is the old information when this movie premiered in 2005:
Greetings, Burk-Elder: Hale, Third, A proactive children's advocate and the non-profit Range Guide youth missions' director in Paradise Valley has contracted with the promotional staff of Indigo - The Movie to premier the movie in the Livingston, Montana area. Your assistance in helping this non-profit endeavor to promote this timely, peace-loving movie, enlightening and encouraging adults and children alike, is greatly appreciated. Call 406-222-2004. Get your tickets in advance to reserve seating! INDIGO is a film about loneliness, redemption, and the healing powers and grace of the new generation of Indigo (psychic and gifted) children being born into the world. Although the story is fictional, the emotions and actions of the film resonate with the spiritual dynamics of life today. The dramatic core of the film is the relationship that develops between a man whose life and family have dissolved due to a fateful mistake and his 10 year-old granddaughter with whom he goes on the run to protect her from a would-be kidnapper. Along the way, he discovers the power of his granddaughter's gifts which forever alter the lives of everyone she encounters. For 20 days in August, nearly one hundred crew members and volunteers added their energy, sweat and vision to this amazing project. And now, as it enters into the final stages of post-production, it is obvious that we have a little gem on our hands. Indigo is more than a movie – it’s a new beginning. We need movies that inspire and move us today, perhaps more than ever, and this will, we believe, set a new precedent--a return to storytelling with no major stars, a crew that receives a substantial profit percentage, volunteers who selflessly contribute to a film for its subject matter and also receive a percentage of profits, and telling a story with spiritual subject matter and words with no copping-out to convention! It has been an extraordinary honor to be part of this journey, and to share it with so many others.
INDIGO will be released nationally in January 2005. This is very exciting and we hope everyone gets a chance to see it. We are also working on other ideas right now to get this film out. All we know for sure is that there is an amazing energy that is guiding this film. It seems to have a life of its own, and just needs to be nudged in the right direction. Where it goes from there, only Spirit knows for sure....and that is how it should be.

..."Indigo" was selected on the basis of ballots filled out by more than 1,000 filmgoers, many of whom came from out of state specifically to see the film made by Stephen Simon. "Indigo" is about prescient children who can communicate via extra-sensory means and how they are able to work with disbelievers and, in time, win them over. It was shot in 20 days on $500,000, made from start to finish within eight months, completed just 10 days before the festival, Simon said in an interview before the ceremony. Simon, producer of "What Dreams May Come" and "Somewhere in Time," said filmmakers "have broken a pact with adult audiences." Teen-agers are now the target market of most films, he said. "Indigo," he said, was meant to be "a movie that hopefully makes people feel better about being human beings and shows who we are and why we're here - on a very small budget. That's what spiritual cinema is all about now. It's not about big movie stars or special effects. It's about going to an audience which the studios have forgotten, which is adults."
