The idea of film making is very good & any propaganda medium can be utilized for Krishna Consciousness.
In future if you get opportunity we can produce many films of life of Lord Chaitanya, scenes from Bhagavad-gita & Srimad-Bhagavatam.

Krishna Consciousness is always dormant in everyone's heart &
it can be awakened simply by service attitude.

"Money is the honey'' goes so far as it is employed for Krishna consciousness.
The body is undoubtedly a material vehicle
but when it acts for Krishna consciousness it becomes spiritualized.
By the grace of Krishna, material energy can be transformed to spiritual energy
& spiritual energy is never deteriorated.
To be in Krishna consciousness means to be in spiritual energy.

One who reads Brahma Samhita very carefully & scrutinizingly
can understand everything of Krishna without any fault.
I recommend, therefore that all my students read Brahma Samhita very carefully—
especially because it was translated personally by my spiritual master
Srimad Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja.

The only means of protecting us from the attack of maya is to be fully Krishna Conscious.
The proportion in which we fall back in Krishna Consciousness is filled up by the influence of maya.
It is exactly like the proportion of negligence of our health is subsequently resulted in our falling ill.

As a man haunted by a ghost talks so much nonsense,
so also when a man is overpowered by the illusory energy—maya, also talks all sorts of nonsense.
The last attack of maya upon the conditioned souls is impersonalism.
There are 4 stages of attack of maya; viz.:
1) stage is that a man wants to be a protagonist of religion,
2) is that man neglects religiosity and tries to improve his economic development,
3) is to be protagonist of sense enjoyment & when a man is frustrated in all the above mentioned stages he comes to,
4) which is impersonalism, and thinks himself one with the Supreme. This last attack is very serious and fatal.

Transcendental jealousy is not wrong but it is absolute. In the transcendental world also there are jealous parties like the party of Radharani and the party of Satyabhama. Radharani and Satyabhama are always jealous of one another but the center is Krishna.
Similarly Krishna being the center of all competition and jealousies for serving Krishna the best is always Absolute provided such jealousies do not come down to the material plane. - Correspondence, New York, April 1967
