The Infinite Realm is an open-source world, so any filmmaker can add her or his story to it-- but these three rules MUST be followed:
1.
The world in which the action of ANY story takes place MUST be matriarchal, i.e. ruled by a goddess, queen or female ruler of any sort.
2.
The cast of any story MUST be more than 50% female.
3.
The heroine of any story MUST be a WOMAN OF ACTION.
WHAT IS A "WOMAN OF ACTION"?
-
By action, what is meant is that she must be a PHYSICAL action heroine.
-
Protesting, stern lecturing or aggressive nurturing is NOT a substitute for kicking ass.
THE SCRIPT IS FLIPPED
Each realm is female-centric, with powerful goddess-like characters that govern the realm and action heroines taking the female “Hero’s Journey.” The purpose of each world is to guide these female characters to reclaim their matriarchal heritage which was destroyed by earlier patriarchal civilizations.

THE REALMS
There is one “initiation” realm and three main realms of journey. The realms of journey are based one of the aspects of the “Triple Goddess.”
Wonderland—Initiation Realm. Before an initiate enters either of the three realms above, she most go through an initiation in a world called “Wonderland.”
Fortuna’s Realm—Trickster Realm. Land of women who are gamblers, hustlers or magicians.
Freyjas’s Realm—Realm of the Valkyrie. Land where women test their martial and athletic spirit.
Inanna’s Realm—The Underworld. A Jungian shadow world where pain of every stripe can and will bring transformation.
