People are going nuts over the newest self-help film, The Secrets of the Keys, which features an all-star cast of today's thought leaders. The film's official release date is Tuesday, July 19th, 2016 through Beyond Words Publishing – the company that took The Secret to blockbuster success.

The Secrets of the Keys is a unique film that is neither a drama nor a documentary. Instead, it's a distinctly different hybrid that features a narrative story and fictional characters who encounter several of today's top names in the field of Personal Development and Self-help. The list of cameos is impressive and includes Brian Tracy, John Assaraf, Rev. Michael Beckwith, Dannion Brinkley, don Miguel Ruiz, and Gloria Loring, along with several other hand-selected experts from the United States and around the world.

Robin Jay, who wrote, produced, and costars in the film has been winning awards for her work since 2006.  She encouraged the film's stars and experts to deliver heartfelt, deeply personal anecdotes in the film, each of which carries profound life lessons. The stories focus on 7 Keys: Appreciation, Harmony, Courage, Passion, Faith, Vibration, and Empathy.

Jay says, "The Secrets of the Keys is unlike any other self-help film ever produced, which is why it's evoking such a dramatic response with viewers. It's unexpected, highly entertaining, and – most of all – empowering. Viewers love it and come away feeling transformed. The messages are powerful, but the film is also funny and beautiful. We shot most of it at an estate overlooking Lake Mead. If Heaven was on Earth, I'm pretty sure it would look just like it does in this film. Plus, the movie will help people to find greater joy and happiness. I realize that's a big claim, but it's having such a profound effect on viewers that they are absolutely going nuts over this film!"

Writer Lisa Barr – who specializes in addiction, mental health, and trauma issues – raved about the film. She wrote, "The personal stories are so powerful. It's mind blowing … a LOT of information. I love it! Robin Jay has created a mass work of art. This film take away for me--and I've studied a lot of spiritual topics and consider myself a very spiritual person---is that I am no longer afraid of death. 'Robin, Do you know what a gift you have given me?!' It's a beautiful, beautiful film. I am so impressed. I am a huge fan of What the Bleep Do We Know and this made me think of that film. This film, however, is unique and presents information in such an elegant, gentle and eloquent way that I know it is going to touch a lot of people. I love the story of the eternity of the human spirit."

Lisa's not alone in her praise for the film or it's profound effect on her belief system. Kristen Becker, IamKristenBecker.com, who also compared the film to the hit What the Bleep? wrote, "We all want to thrive and much of what we need to better understand and implement in our lives to make that happen is hidden right in plain sight.  The Secrets of the Keys illuminates those things beautifully, in an easy to understand and enjoyable way. Because I feel strongly that everyone deserves to live the fullest life possible, I'm encouraging everyone I know to see this film. In fact there are so many great insights, I'm going to watch it frequently to give myself time to fully internalize and apply all of them.  Not since What the Bleep has a film had this much impact on my view of the word." 

Regina Murphy, Founder of Emotional Sound Techniques and Certified Acutonics Professional wrote, "The Secrets of the Keys is a great gift to the world. Robin, with the help of the guides, experts and 'The Council,' annihilated the fear of death with humor, compassion and - above all – truth. Never before has this been accomplished in such an enlightening and enjoyable way."

The fictional characters in the film are played to perfection by Jay, Kathryn Brinkley and Harrah Brown. The film recently won two gold awards from the International Independent Film Awards - for Concept and Original Song. The song, Stronger than Ever, was co-written by Jay and Gary Lynn Floyd, who also composed and sang lead vocals. It's a moving, uplifting song that works brilliantly with the film.

Jay adds, "Personal Development doesn't have to feel like a classroom or a punishment." Her statement is ironic because, as a young girl, her father would discipline her and her sister by having them listen to Earl Nightingale records, including his classic Lead the Field. She laughs as she shares the countless times she listened to Earl's deep voice repeating, "Good attitude, good results... bad attitude, bad results."

"My father's method worked because I grew up understanding the importance of a positive mental attitude, or PMA. Later, I became an author, filmmaker, and motivational speaker, no doubt because of that strong influence in my life early on. I also love to laugh. That's why people are so surprised when they see this film ... it's just so different and unexpected. I want to help viewers with life's greatest challenges so they can live a better, happier life, and the 7 Keys featured in the film will do just that for most viewers. In fact,  people who watch The Secrets of the Keys say they can't wait to watch it again and share it with their friends."
