Director.

Ravinol Chambers is an Irish-born monk turned movie maker, focusing on stories that cross boundaries and aim to connect us as humans, at the deepest level.

As a teenager in Dublin he wanted to be a stockbroker, but his search for deeper meaning was to take him east, on a very different journey.

After studying Psychology at university, he committed most of his twenties to a life of devotion, meditation and service, studying and living by the philosophy of the ancient Vedas, as a full-time Krishna monk.

During this time he spent a year living in India, studying the ancient books of wisdom alongside the culture and traditions that seek to support a life, lived in pursuit of higher ideals.

Ravinol and his British Indian wife have been happily married since 2006 and have two boys.

Making this film has challenged the gender roles in their own marriage and made them deeply consider the importance of bringing up their boys to be gender equitable, in a world that often sends messages to the contrary.

The film poses the question - how can we take tradition, culture and wisdom from the past, and bring it into the future, so it is practical and helpful?

'A Girl Can Touch The Sky' is Ravinol's debut feature-length documentary.
