J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and George MacDonald were the pioneers of the fantasy genre and their impact is unmistakable. Their works— exploring Middle-earth, Narnia, and other tales of redemption, sacrifice, and the battle of good and evil—have become best-selling books and blockbuster movies. Contemporary fantasy writers such as J.K. Rowling grew up inspired by their works.

“I have studied the Inklings for decades, especially C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. I found this documentary the best synthesis linking the writings of George MacDonald, C.S. Lewis, and J.R.R. Tolkien with the original myths and legends that influenced them. I highly recommend this documentary for not only fans of the Inklings but those interested in the foundations of modern fantasy literature and cinema.”- T.R. Knight Amazon


Faith in Imagination: The Fantasy Makers examines the spiritual influences of these fantasy pioneers and the lasting impact their works have on our present-day culture.

The Dream of the Yellow Millet - Lü Dongbin 呂洞賓 by Mustafa Gouverneur

The Ten Thousand Films logo is based on a Tong Dynasty painting of the Daoist immortal Lü Dongbin (796 CE-1016 CE) crossing Lake Dongting.

The legend has it that one night when Lü Yan was in Chang'an or Handan, he dozed off as his yellow millet was cooking in a hotel. He dreamed that he took the imperial exam and excelled, and thus was awarded a prestigious office and soon promoted to the position of vice minister (侍郎 shìláng). He then married the daughter of a prosperous household and had a son and a daughter. He was promoted again and again, and finally became the prime minister. However, his success and luck attracted jealousy of others, so he was accused of crimes that caused him to lose his office. His wife then betrayed him, his children were killed by bandits, and he lost all his wealth. As he was dying on the street in the dream, he woke up.

Although in the dream, eighteen years had passed, the whole dream actually happened in the time it took his millet to cook. The characters from his dream were actually played by Zhongli Quan in order to make him realize that one should not put too much importance on transient glory and success. As a result, Lü went with Zhongli to discover and cultivate the Tao. This dream is known as "Dream of the Yellow Millet" (黃粱夢 Huáng Liáng Mèng) and is described in a writing compiled by Ma Zhiyuan of the Yuan Dynasty.
