The Mental Eclectic is a philosophy in filmmaking and creation as defined below: The Mental Eclectic believes the next wave of creation will explode via the Internet. While our main concentration is filmmaking we see the potential for all creative mediums to explode over the net. Take a look around The Mental Eclectic and add us to your social networking platforms. Mental — executed or performed in the mind. Existing in the mind. Eclectic — made up of or combining elements from a variety of sources. Mental Eclecticism is when people from different backgrounds combine ideas or ideals that exist in the mind to contribute to a single effect.
