Claudine Jordan
Claudine Jordan received her graduate degree in film from Northwestern University. She is a former professor of film and video and has also taught computer animation.
At an early age, Claudine became interested in all things metaphysical. She was initiated into eastern philosophy, studied homeopathy and other alternative modalities of healing and developed an early attraction to the world of crystal energy. All of these interests have been reflected in many of her films. At the Moondance International Film Festival, Claudine received the Calypso Award, which is presented to the person who contributes to the betterment of mankind.
Claudine, with her film partner, Tom Klodin, produced five films set in the South of France and India. Several of these films dealt with metaphysical and life changing subjects and have won several national awards.
After moving to Ashland, Oregon, Claudine and her film partner Tom started concentrating on projects that document people in their quest for more spiritual, healthful and earth friendly life styles. Positive and upbeat in nature, these films let the subjects tell their own stories without the aid of outside narration.
