Awake in the Darkness and Aubrey Marcus's Ritual
Ben Joseph Stewart discusses his film Awake in the Darkness, which follows Aubrey Marcus through a week-long darkness retreat in Germany's Black Forest. The retreat concluded just as the 2020 global lockdowns began, a timing Stewart finds significant. He describes the film's focus on sound design and Marcus's internal psychological journey, framing it as a story of human self-discovery rather than a conspiracy documentary.
