Marc Wennberg is a first-time filmmaker and full-time restorative justice consultant. His film, Precious Guru, took eight years to complete from conception to completion and was a journey of learning and then more learning. Marc lives happily in Burlington, Vermont, with his wife and cat. “I did not set out to make a film. I began this project because Guru Rinpoche’s story kept surfacing in my life, dreams, and travels and I wanted to know more. What began as a personal exploration became an idea for a multimedia project which became a production trip and finally, my first film. Precious Guru is my expression of gratitude for this journey; for the surface, depths, and beauty of Guru Rinpoche’s story; and for the Himalayan storytellers who keep this story alive and present.“
