Filmmaker Roger Nygard ("Trekkies" and "Trekkies II" - the latter of which had a section filmed in Sacramento) made a list of 85 of the toughest questions he could think of, including "Why do we exist" and "Where was God during the holocaust?" and posed these to a vast number of varied people including:

Indian holy man Sri Sri Ravi Shankar,
Irvin Kershner, director of "The Empire Strikes Back;"
Italian Catholic Archbishop D’Ambrosio
Leonard Susskind (co-discovered string theory)
Rob Adonis (founder of Ultimate Christian Wrestling)
24th Generation Taoist Master Zhang Chengda of China’s Azure Cloud Temple on Taishan
Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, author of "The God Delusion"
Scifi authors Larry Niven and Orson Scott Card
Stonehenge Druids Rollo Maughfling & King Arthur Pendragon
SNL cast member and atheist Julia Sweeney
confrontational evangelist Brother Jed Smock and many, many more.

"The Nature of Existence" documents the insights from this massive and varied line-up of interviewees! “…a witty, thought provoking and often surprising study in the greatest mysteries of life.” - Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

“[It's] a film that is constantly entertaining and thought provoking… ironic, sad, and amazing, but most of all funny. … This is the best documentary I have seen this year.” - Mark R. Leeper, Online Film Critics Society
