Tassel Shanebrook
Drawn to the meeting point of story, consciousness and human transformation—and to cinema as a way of opening questions that stay with us.
Stories that
transform consciousness.
01 / The studio
Stories can change what we see.
And when we see differently,
new possibilities become visible.
Spiritus Libertas Films creates cinematic stories exploring consciousness, culture, freedom and human possibility.
Our first film · Coming soon
Quantum
Wealth
What if wealth begins with the way we see?
An exploration of money, possibility and consciousness—and the inherited beliefs that shape what we believe is possible for our lives.

03 / Our vision
Film can do more than tell a story.
It can change the way we see.
We are interested in the stories beneath the stories.
The beliefs we inherit.
The systems we inhabit.
The possibilities we have forgotten.
And the moments when human beings begin to see differently.
Spiritus Libertas Films creates cinema in service of transformation.
04 / The founders
Created from a belief
in what film can make visible.
John Verbrugge
Committed to films that look beneath inherited stories, illuminate new possibilities and invite a freer way of seeing the world.
