Sedona A Jewel In The Desert (Short film/Documentary)

Welcome! We at Irvines Images are proud to release the short film "Sedona A Jewel In The Desert". This movie was filmed entirely here in beautiful Sedona, Arizona and it was a long time in the making and was featured and shown at the Sedona International Film Festival. It also almost won an award there as well, it came within half a point in it's category of the audiences choice. And.. We plan on turning this into a full feature length movie in the future and covering all of the seasons in Sedona, and we plan on going into some of the other subjects that often define the area as well, like the community, UFO's, history and stuff like that.
Please show some support if you liked our effort by liking/commenting/sharing/subscribing and that kind of stuff! Thanks! And I hope you enjoy the movie!

Very enchanting!

[@donalee333]

I’ve just watched this for the second time. I shared it with my husband who is from England and we would really love to visit Sedona one day. This video is so well done. The beauty of the landscape and the wildlife is incredibly captured and mixed with the chosen music so eloquently. Just wonderful. Thank you!

[@IrvinesImages]

That's awesome to hear. :) Glad you shared it with your husband and that you appreciated the film and both would like to visit someday! I hope I get a chance to meet you if you do visit! Tons of love friend.

[@empathicdesign8375]

Sedona is just breathtakingly beautiful. I've been all over Arizona especially the Grand Canyon and the Sonoron Desert and I've been in awe of the beauty here. Arizona is the most beautiful place on Earth. I love you Arizona 😍

[@KRSchannel]

I visit this place every year since 2013 and will continue to do so for however along time will allow. I have a strong past life connection with this place.

[@o.a.5044]

Just found this video and it's the best one I've seen of Sedona. I was "called" to visit in 2016 and went back twice more. It is because of Sedona that I'm a few months away from uprooting my Seattle life to live in Mesa, just south of Sedona, where I too feel a deep, strong past life connection. All of Arizona felt like home to me the first day I landed. I knew that minute, that I'd return again and again. My goal of living the rest of my life hours from Sedona will be a dream come true. THANK you for making this absolutely beautiful and touching film! It rekindled my love of the place and desire to hurry up and get "home".

[@sarthakdalal4761]

KRSchannel - Learn Astrology wow Arizona feels like home to me and I haven’t even visited. I just want a small house and a lotta land in the middle of nowhere in the Arizona desert with peace and privacy while I look in awe at the stars.

[@sarthakdalal4761]

Unfortunately I live in the northeast must be past life bad karmas. It’s miserable here.

[@wandtheuniverse]

Visited Sedona for the first time 20 years ago. Have been back twice a year since. Move here from California 3 weeks ago. It's like I have died AMD gone to heaven. Had a life changing experiance at Bell Rock

[@katec8843]

Same here! I've had dreams of Sedona before I even knew it existed. So crazy.

[@TractorBoy50]

My son drove my daughter in law and myself to Sedona from Flagstaff. It's sheer beauty stunned us but this video has shown me more that we saw on our 30 miles drive. This video is pure magic. Thank you

[@HiLoveLeighs]

Simply magical.

[@davidrocknrollmaniac9739]

The cool thing about this video is, it truly captures the essence of the "painted desert" it truly looks and feels just like portrayed here. I highly recommend the experience of being there. It's one you won't ever forget. Having seen it myself and "felt" it. A magical experience is guaranteed for all.❤

[@GratefulOverlander]

The painted desert in hours from there in NE Az

[@JediBunny]

This was gorgeous. Incredible footage - those shots were gorgeous and sound capture phenomenal. Loved the narration as well. Thank you so much for sharing - I’m excited to be taking a trip back to Sedona soon!

[@princessdolls]

I love Arizona! 💙🌵

[@phoenixbros7052]

LOVE Arizona!!!

[@peterverdon645]

Beautiful film. Traveling to Sedona for the first time in a few months. Can’t wait

[@IrvinesImages]

Thanks! Glad you thought the film was beautiful. And... Oh? That's awesome! I hope you have a great time in Sedona! It sure is a special place in my opinion. :)

[@craigslaunwhite579]

Beautiful scenes from the wilderness of the desert. A jewel of viewing pleasure. I visited Sedona in 2015. I was drawn up Bell Rock on the very highest point of the rock and was "trapped" up there for about 4 hours before a helicopter had to come pick me up as there was no safe route for me to exit. I climbed up a very steep incline using a old piece of rope that I thought was the tourist regular route to the top. I was mistaken. Quite a grand effect it is continuing to have with me.

[@GratefulOverlander]

Lol, dumbass

[@ilu8409]

I really enjoyed your film. I just came back from Sedona. Watching your film at the end of the trip definitely added to my appreciation to such a beautiful sacred place. I hope Sedona can be preserved for many generations to come.

[@IrvinesImages]

Hey. Thanks for the feedback. :) Happy to hear you enjoyed the film! I hope you had a wonderful visit in Sedona and I also hope Sedona can be preserved for many generations to come as well.

[@danaasbury634]

I just want to make that place my home! I went there a year ago and for the first time I felt like I was home!

[@MrDustyschannel]

" Can't stop the Feeling " Great job Paul.

[@OdySlim]

Incredibly beautiful. I was there in the 60's. It's time to go back. Thank you

[@judysherry3122]

It is a holy place.Maybe even a vortex! Lady Judith

[@timpenfield5]

Was there in 2010, Was hiking, heard loud footsteps behind me, turned around, NOBODY THERE. Wish I could live there

[@char4him99]

Wonderful video. I am quite homesick! Love this peaceful, beautiful place. Slide Rock in the Summer and play in the snow in the Winter. I'd take my girls from Phoenix to Oak Creek Canyon in their shorts and tees to play in snow.

[@johnmills6354]

Great photography !!! Lived in Sedona a very long time , & your work is some of the best I've enjoyed !!!

[@IrvinesImages]

Thanks a lot! That's some awesome feedback and it's much appreciated. :) Also, that's cool you've lived in Sedona as well! It sure is a marvelous and special place!

[@miriamkatzensteiner]

I really enjoyed this short movie. Beautifull szenes of the weather and nature. I felt like i am there and can smell the rain. Great work!

[@dreakaliarodriguez481]

I love Sedona. First time I visited, I felt oddly connected to the environment. I have always wanted to go back and will. Beautiful video.

[@char4him99]

Can't believe you caught lightening like that.. Amazing.

[@clarksedonaartstudios499]

[@IrvinesImages]

You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it! :) Thanks for the feedback.

[@Lightsplasher]

Very nice nature photography! The view of the flooding in the river was neat. I liked the shots of the animals, bugs, birds, and ruins too.

[@stevelyons7833]

AWESOME !!

[@NancysNibblesofLife]

Spending my 50th birthday here in hopes of renewals for the next part of my life journey.

[@novag9209]

that was a nice film. More info and speaking on the nature and the history between music would be nice and make this video truly a story. Jessie Kalu is a good friend and his music was the best part of this video.

[@novag9209]

Well it sure impressed me a bit and if that's is a small taster then i cant wait to see the movie. 3 years ago Jessie kalu met me up thunder mt. Impressed when he heard me play my flute he then invited me to open for his concerts until i acquired my own set which he encouraged 5 months after opening for his concerts. He was the first flute player i met after. Now after 10 half years playing flute and 11 year walk across the country 3 times (every step) because of jessie kalu i tell my story and play my flute at a resort in sedona. I feel if you make a movie it will show the true heart of sedona. This city has been a life changer for all who have had the chance to see it and or your film/movie. Thank you for your hard work on this and i encourage you to make a movie id love to see it and i am sure the world is ready as well.

[@aDigitalSlave]

Stunning. Nice to see this come across my FedBook Feed. Shared for sure...

[@AnneHealy]

Stunning photography!

[@1Grizzman]

What an amazing video! I felt like I was watching a national geographic film, well put together man! Excellent lightning photo's too, all of it was great!

[@mtd94556]

Wow thank you for this!!

[@kathdavis8059]

Exquisite photography & great editing, such stunningly beautiful place, really would like to have a long visit there.

[@Peetts8]

Great job, real good images!

[@debbiehorn8263]

[@marvingullacher1563]

You don a fatstic job from Canada 👍👍❤️❤️❤️

[@HarmonyGraceElohim]

Thank you.

[@khunopie9159]

That was fairly amazing!

[@ayechapin1]

I had the opportunity to witness a lightning storm last summer (2021) not knowing that I was witnessing something very unique about the desert and the next morning we arrived in Tucson and it was all washed out with mud everywhere it was monsoon season .

[@danaasbury634]

It's calling me...

[@ayechapin1]

I admire the effort in the making of this video I'm as amateur as amateurish can be (using cell phones for cameras) trying to make my own vids thanks for this...

[@IrvinesImages]

You're welcome and good luck with your efforts of making your own videos! :) You can do a lot with cell phones these days and I think it's great you're following your passions. Also... Thank you as well for the comment and for sharing a few of your thoughts.

[@mclaughlinlinnet8433]

Really well done, beautiful scenery and music, definitely makes me want to visit there!!

[@parksusan1288]

Me too!

[@vanessasmith6800]

Great video Paul ❤❤❤

[@solsticemeows]

I drove through Sedona for my first time in 2016, as part of a cross country drive. I have always had a fondness of the desert (native San Diegan), and Arizona in particular. But was my first time in Sedona. And boy was it honestly my favorite part of the c.c. drive. Its magical and mysterious and divine. I cannot wait to visit for a longer time in the near future. I have yet to see the grand canyon so my next visit will include both areas. Beautiful video.

[@stacysmith9073]

Wow, you did a fantastic job making this video. The sights, the sounds, I feel I am there. I'm going to watch this and then meditate every day, I want to move back to Sedona (had to move to Phx during the pandemic) I can't wait to go home!

[@IrvinesImages]

Thanks Stacy! I appreciate the positive feedback and I hope the video helps you meditate. :) Also, I hope you're able to move back! That's a bummer you had to move to Phoenix... Best of wishes and luck to you!

[@SusieBeiler]

Paul, thanks for sharing the beauty of Sedona! I live here and it's an incredible place on the planet!

[@senexarit]

#NatureisGodsArt I love this!!

Thanks..any tips for living in Sedona, since the cost of living is high? I would like to live there part of the year..at least

[@hiramlowis4800]

I love channel Pink Khan and you

[@IrvinesImages]

Awesome. :) Glad to hear it!

[@judysherry3122]

I thrive in the thunder and lightning it makes me feel alive and 🔥 I'm as naughty as you stallion and I love it. Me

[@jay90374]

Found this on Steemit and upvoted. Excellent camera work and editing but it would be nice to show a map or at least tell us where the heck it is. I missed 5 min. in the middle doing a search.

[@jay90374]

LOL - No problem, it's easy to miss these things when you are so close to it. I am sure we will be watching it again.

[@kathleendonovan2916]

Its in northern Arizona, approximately 1.5 hours north of Phoenix or 20+ miles south of Flagstaff. Worth the trip wherever you are. I lived there 14 years, raised my son there

[@danaasbury634]

You know there is a God when you see this place!

[@StephenSternGoth]

This looks good and not home made good job

[@williamsohveymah5550]

All native Arizonans know, monsoons do not occur here in SW united states. Monsoons occur in Asia. Rains starting in July through September in SW united stated are called "Summer Rains." Always have, always will be. This continent is the American continent and not the Asian continent.

[@IrvinesImages]

Do you have a source for your claim? I did a quick Google search and wasn't able to find anything about that, all I found was countless websites talking about how the SW does indeed have a monsoon season including many different major weather sites... So, what is your source for that please? I'm curious. Also, your first statement is wrong because I'm a native and I've never heard that before and countless other natives aren't even interested in the weather, so to say "ALL native Arizonans" know that is... Not accurate.

[@sherrycounts5183]

they will be distracted with these particular episodes however I know what's going on and I'm never bored by gods glorious grace they are still trying to make me look bad I'm not bad I just try to help I don't want them to suffer I did and it was no fun however I've been away from a very abusive man and I'm still having no fun it's been 3 years and Cindy lauper was once suicidal and she says girls just wants have fun she would have missed out if she would have followed through I'm broke and I wants have fun rummage saling something I keep waiting and no one comes to see me I do not even get a phone call ever on b day any holiday so minus the beeting I'm still alone with my frienzy god speaks to me do not be afraid I know what your doing ❤

[@IrvinesImages]

I'm not sure what your comment means in relation to this movie me and my father made? But, I hope things improve for you in your life. Best wishes.

[@judysherry3122]

You know that I have never been to Sadona Shame on me. I have never had the chance. Me

How beautiful was the ancient Mexico! Our native land... Millions of Native-Americans people would have survived absolutely the same as Mexicans indigenous in all ancient Mexican territory... if ISRAEL itself (God's people) suffered the wrath of God because of their bad deeds.. I don't want to imagine how will be the price for great nation of the United States paying their faults for a Stolen Land and Innocent People Murdered...

Don't promote growth in Sedona or what you see in this video will fast fade away.

Unlike many people I actually don't see the word "propaganda" as a negative thing, so... That's one of the best compliments! Thank you for the comment. :)
