A tip from the Hero's Journey:
Every hero must meet an Oracle.
The Oracle is that entity that guides the Hero towards the tangible (Sword) that represents the intangibles (Expansion of Consciousness etc).
The Oracle can be literal. For example, in The Matrix (1999), a literal Oracle guides Neo towards the choice he must make.
The Oracle can be an inanimate object. For example, in Alien (1979), the Oracle is Mother the computer.
Or the Oracle can simply be metaphoric for any event that pushes the Hero in the required direction. In Scarface (1983), it is the assassination attempt that pushes Tony to take out Frank.

I hope you're having a great week! My name is Harrison and I work with SnagFilms.com. We are an online library of over 2100 films, free for audiences to stream. I just wanted to let you know that a film that you may be very interested in, "Dreams On Spec", is now available for free streaming via this link: http://www.snagfilms.com/films/title/dreams_on_spec/
Please consider spreading the word about this film either on or through your website. There is an embeddable link on the linked page I've provided. Feel free to also email me back with any questions, and if you decide to use it so we can send it out through our network for cross promotion! Given the timely release of the film, this would be a tremendous opportunity for both of us!
Looking forward to working with you!
