Review by Amanda H. McLeod
October 4, 2019

Who was it that said words to the effect of “innovators and forward thinkers are rarely recognised in their own time?” Perhaps, and most probably - many. Many have realised after the fact that what they scoffed at with a closed mind and blinkered eyes actually turned out to be the unadulterated truth after all. But others find much more solace in remaining comfortably numb. This film challenges much of what we think our world, and the sky above, is.

Shoot the Moon has currently been awarded three Laurels but according to the film’s producer and director, Jason Lindgren, most of the film festivals have turned the project down. This is a travesty for sure, but par for the course when you are dealing with such seemingly controversial material. Even though most people spout off that they want the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, it would seem in fact, that they cannot handle the truth. Most people wouldn’t know the truth even if it smacked them in the face like a stinky, wet kipper. However, it is difficult to continue to bury ones head in the sand when presented with such compelling evidence. Evidence and cold hard footage that truly challenges the current narrative.

I’m going to approach this review in a threefold manner. Firstly touching briefly on the technical aspects of the film, not that I feel adequately qualified to do so. I’ve appeared in film but never actually created one myself. Still, I hope my very limited knowledge has some merit. Secondly, I will extrapolate on the content without giving away too much as to cause a spoiler alert warning. Lastly, and most importantly, I will offer my views as to why I think this film is so vitally important at this current time, and what it can bring to an awakening world.

Part 1. The film’s opening scenes show high definition close ups of the moon, including footage of mysterious objects transiting what mainstream science tells us is “Earth’s largest orbiting satellite.” While the epic soundtrack crescendos bringing in the film’s title in silver bevelled font across the moonlit screen, I settle in to view this highly anticipated piece of history in the making.

It does not escape my attention in the next scene as the man that I have come to know as Crow (Crrow777) strolls along the water’s edge on a bay somewhere in North America, that this is a clue to what he, and a few other learned men hypothesise is the nature of space. Ancient texts often site the waters above and the waters below to be the nature of our cradle. As Crow walks along the shoreline towards the camera I know he is about to let the viewers in on the work, study, passion and insight that he has tirelessly and selflessly put his heart and soul into over the last few years. He is about to open a door, affording us a peek into wonders long since buried under the heavily manipulated status quo that has shaped our current world view for possibly hundreds of years. He is inviting us into his take on the world around us. Of the true nature of this realm we find ourselves in.

The water scene gently transitions into the next frame where I finally put a face to that very distinctive, eloquent voice so many of us tune in to each week on Crrow777radio Podcast. Filmed in an old library built in the 1800s Crow sits in front of dozens of old books, some from his very own collection. The attention to detail and ambience of the library scenes are heart-warming as the “Bird Man” begins to tell the real - life story of how he came to learn that what we see above us each night is not the model we’ve been taught.

Shoot the Moon consists of a series of interviews with Crrow777, an interview with Randy Bryant also known as Randy from Houston and astonishing footage from both these amateur astronomers as they film anomalies in the skies above us. We are given a peek into how Crow sets up his scopes, cameras and equipment. The film maker also shares a collection of poems, prose and quotes from alchemists, astrologers and astronomers such as Omar Khayyam, Paracelsus, Fulcanelli, and of course, Crow.

I’m no film maker but in my humble opinion I notice how seamlessly and super professional the frame transitions are from this first time producer/director of a full length documentary film. In the interview scenes there are several camera angles with seamless transition from one to another. The lighting is bright, yet soft adding to the ambience of the old library. The sound is consistent throughout the film, which is to be expected considering the film maker is an audio engineer. The poems and quotes text frames are left onscreen long enough to read in real time without having to pause the movie. The original score, produced by Brett William Dietz, is epic and poignant to the content. In my opinion the music is of high enough standard as to be considered for a big budget film.

Creating a neat bookend, the closing scene shows Crow strolling away from the camera along the same shoreline he is seen in at the beginning of the film. He dialogues his final thoughts, speaking of the real value of the natural world; that there is no lie in nature. The sky clock is the only real time piece and it would do us well to turn our attention away from artificial constructs, look up, and reconnect with nature.

After the main credits, Jason thanks and lists all contributors who donated to the making of the film. All in all from opening scene to the last credit and “curtain drop” I thoroughly enjoyed this film. I think it is a credit to Jason Lindgren as to how professional, clean and crisp this production is. I hope it provokes much thought and pondering. Truly a masterpiece.

Part 2. One of the first things I noticed as I settled in to listen to this modern day free thinker were the books behind Crow as he sat in the old library telling us about how he came to shoot the moon. I know from listening to his weekly podcasts that he is a very learned man, mainly acquiring his research material from old books; the oldest texts he can find. Some of the books behind Crow are from his very own collection. Astrology, alchemy, poetry, philosophy, cymatics, gardening and spagyrics. These higher minded subjects that for the most part in our society have been long forgotten, open humanity up to a world beyond our indoctrinated 3D reality. I sit up and take notice. I know this man has something very important to say. Something very insightful to impart. As I read the many quotes and prose smattered throughout the film my mind is lifted to higher places where pondering and inspiration are enlivened. I think it is of paramount importance that we do not lose our thirst for knowledge in the soup of disinformation the current climate dishes up breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The library scene interviews are filled with information and cold hard facts for the most part, but Crow makes it perfectly clear when hypothesising that it is “in his view”, or “his opinion”. Crow explains his equipment set up in easy to understand terminology, even for those who are not tech or photographically savvy. He talks about what he has filmed over the last four years such as vortexes in full spectrum, the lunar wave, captured for the first time at the actual equinox in September 2012, dark objects of various shapes transiting the moon and the night skies, and shooting orbs in chemtrails in the daytime.

Through Crow’s tracking of time over the last few years he has come to know that what we think of as noon according to our man-made time pieces have actually nothing to do with the solar noon of the natural world. He also has come to realise that the equinoxes do not align with the true equal day and night dates. Not only have our calendars been jacked up, but time is not what we think it is either. The first day of each New Year should be at the spring equinox in March, not in January. This would make more sense too as to why September is actually the seventh month and December the tenth. Sept meaning seven and Dec relating to ten, as in decimal. Other months such as October (Oct = 8), November (Nov = 9) align more clearly with what we should be using as the actual calendar tracking our time in the acceptable year of the Lord.

In this film Crow also touches on censorship and his plight with personal attacks while attempting to disseminate pertinent information and observation. I don’t think he uses this term in the film but he has come to be known as the one who quoined the phrase “the modern day book burning.” A hashtag that needs to be spread far and wide so as not to lose our voices or our God- given ability to exercise our right of free thought and speech. It was due to Crow attempting to reproduce images he’d seen on NASA’s website of stars, galaxies and nebula, supposedly taken on the Hubble telescope, that this amateur astronomer realised that fraud was afoot. Because of his hunger for knowledge and passion for gazing at the stars, he inadvertently stumbled into the realisation that what we have been taught for decades, possibly centuries is, in his terms, “poppycock’. A complete fabrication, and an intentional plan to separate humanity from its true nature in time and space. It may very well be, as Crow points out in this film, that his Lunar Wave footage quite probably had something to do with the resurgence of the geocentric/flat earth movement. He does not consider himself a “flat earther” and will never label himself, nor join any groups, however he does claim to know for a fact that the model we’ve been given is a complete lie. He knows this through deductive reasoning and personal observation.

Crow may have been the first person to film what has come to be termed “The Lunar Wave”, a term that is a little outdated for reasons I will explain shortly, but many others have since filmed the same phenomena. Randy Bryant, AKA Randy from Houston, is another researcher and amateur astronomer who has captured the “Lunar Wave” as well as other strange objects in the skies above us. Randy is also featured in this film. He explains in his interview how he came to film wondrous and curious things, after being inspired by Crow’s footage of 2012. What was once thought to be only a phenomena occurring with the moon, it is now thought to be something that spans the entire skies. This “wave” has been films going over Jupiter and I’m sure as time goes on we will see other instances of it in the heavens above. Randy was the seventh person to shoot the lunar wave. He also shares some of his footage including a clip of nine discs flying by the moon. According to his reckoning, these discs are approximately one thousand or so feet above the surface of the earth. Randy also touches on the topic of the mainstream narrative deception. He states that we have been lied to, deceived and to question everything, as everything needs to be turned on its head 180 degrees.

Crow’s chemtrails footage is amazing. He has filmed orbs in chemtrails, some shooting into the trails, some exploding. He has no idea what these orbs are or what their function is but touches on the weather modification aspect of chemtrails. There is no denying this anymore. It has been admitted publicly by the “agencies.” There is also no denying that the trails are sprayed across the ecliptic, the path of the sun and the moon. Crow talks about the sun/chemtrails connection with regards to the blocking of sunlight. He also shares some amazing footage of Venus transiting the sun and impressive shots of what appears to be a second sun in our sky. Eclipses and the nodes are also discussed.

An optics expert has studied Crow’s footage to calculate and verify that everything that has been filmed is not from what we think of as “outer space”, but much, much closer, and within our atmosphere. With the evidence provided, this film elicits a childlike wonder, excitement, and a sense of expansiveness, knowing that there is much more to discover about our world and what we’ve been told is the universe. It raises many questions and implores us to seek truth and answers. It urges us to question our reality and everything we have been told, taught and indoctrinated into. Shoot the Moon is an epic tale and has the potential to radically change the current world view.

Part 3. Like Crow, I’m a bit “old school,” and while I see the value in digital streaming I prefer to have hard copies of books, music and movies on my bookshelves. As such, I was holding off to purchase Shoot the Moon until Jason released it on Blu-ray, but fortunately for me as a recurring member of Crrow777radio.com I was given free access to the movie on Vimeo. From the opening scene to the last credits I was mesmerised. So much so that I have re-watched the film at least half a dozen times, and have shared the experience with family members, who were equally amazed. There is so much in this film. It is like peeling an onion. You get through one layer, only to discover another, then another, and on and on. There are thought provoking quotes and poems, riveting interviews on a number of topics, and astounding footage.

I purchased a Nikon P900 camera just over a year ago and have myself, filmed the moon on several occasions with amazing results. I haven’t yet put the amount of hours into this endeavour as Crow has, however I fully intend to dedicate much more time to this fascinating study. I too have come to the conclusion, based on my direct observation and photographic evidence, that the moon and sun are local, the same size as one another, and that stars are lights in the near sky and not burning balls of fire (suns) gazillions of kilometres from earth. As a child I could never wrap my head around the “fact” that when I looked at stars in the night sky that most of them had already burnt out, but it took so long for the light to travel millions of “light- years” to Earth that what we were looking at was the past. It was almost, if not more of a head-fuck than trying to grasp infinity. There was always the question of what came before the beginning and what will go after the end? These things would keep me awake for nights on end as an inquisitive youngster. If only I’d been told the truth from the get-go. Where and how far down the road would I have gotten to by now?
When I look at pictures, real pictures, not rendered “images”, of the moon I am amazed at the detail and texture. It almost looks at times when I pan right in that the moon holds stars, galaxies and nebulae within it. The lines, the translucent areas, the craters, and the undulation. Yet at other times it looks totally devoid of structure or texture. I often think, as does my husband, that the moon we see today does not look like the moon we saw as children, or even a few years ago. It’s the same with the sun. I, like many people, remember a yellow sun. These days it seems to have more of a whitish hue. When I look at the moon I think of the first few lines of the following poem.
Auguries of Innocence
By William Blake
To see a world in a grain of sand
And a Heaven in a wild flower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour

There are many hidden truths just in these four lines for those with higher minds. And that is what this film essentially is about. It provokes higher mindedness, deeper thought, and reasoning skills. In Crow’s own words, it “challenges things that we were told were un-challengeable.” Crow has a knack of provoking deep thought by suggesting anomalies in our reality deserve further investigation. He doesn’t have all the answers, but it is the questions that are more important to the opening of our minds. He reiterates time and again that the old ways matter. Old books and authors, ancient texts hold the keys to unlocking present day mysteries. He drives home that the natural world and the sky clock are where it’s at. In his words, “there is no lie in nature.”

I will reiterate here, Crow states that he is not a flat earther, but due to his own observations through many hundreds of hours of filming that it is clear, “to be sure” (a Crrowism), that what we’ve been told about our world is clearly not what it is in reality. Everything he has filmed is within our atmosphere. Crow supports the flat earth community, but likes to do his own thing.

For years I’ve heard, or been aware that humanity was on the verge of a great awakening. For many years I was involved with “New Age” type groups that often spoke about this shift of paradigm for humanity. While I have distanced myself from the “New Age” philosophy for many reasons, one being that it was actually a Tavistock Institute social engineering psychological operation, I still hold many of its tenets. However, the “Great Awakening” that I thought would be ushered in with the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, even if we were on such a cusp, is a far cry from what I originally envisioned. In many respects it is even greater than I could have imagined. On some levels it feels like we are actually remembering what we have long forgotten. It’s not that man is ascending to greater heights of awareness. It is that we are coming out of the fog and truly seeing where we actually are again. I was given a message once, years ago in a séance. Not that I advocate participating in such endeavours these days. One never knows the source of the information coming through. But one single word stood out to me and has haunted me for decades. Its true meaning has only recently revealed itself to me. I asked the question, “If there is one thing in this world that I need to know for my journey in this life, what would that be?” To which the pointer skated across the board in swift succession as it spelled out the word “MAPPING”. Shoot the Moon, in many respects is a map. It shows us the way forward. It implores us to use our critical thinking. It opens us up to the many wonders of the natural world and invites us to explore, to create, to wonder. Always remember Crow’s most important message, “Belief is the Enemy of Knowing.”

“There it is Man!” (Another Crrowism)
