Demian Lichtenstein began his career as an off-Broadway child actor in NYC. By the age of 11 and while on his first movie set, Demian knew that he wanted to be a film director. He graduated as valedictorian from the prestigious High School of Art and Design and accepted the Rubenstein Scholarship to NYU's Film School. After winning many awards like the MTV Best Video award, he began his career as a feature film director while also studying transformational leadership.

His pursuits in the world of entertainment were matched only by his desire and passion to learn everything he could about the human spirit. From Native American sweat lodges to leading seminars in front of thousands of people, Demian went through an expanded search to discover the true meaning of metaphysics and transformation. After years in the trenches of Hollywood and propelled by a question posed by his sister, Shajen, Demian brought his two worlds�filmmaking and metaphysical study�into DISCOVER THE GIFT: the movie, the book and the movement.
