FILM SUMMARY
the gods we came to be tells the unconventional story of Tryshe Dhevney, a woman who finds herself in the midst of personal turmoil and overwhelming expectations.
LOGLINE
“Get your affairs in order.” When Tryshe’s doctor explains that there is no longer anything he can do to treat her advanced Hepatitis C and liver disease, she decides to use her remaining time to embark on a surprising journey.
Is she taking a risk, or does she have nothing left to lose?

AN UNCONVENTIONAL APPROACH
How do we break the trend of the current commodification and over simplification of ‘sound healing’ as a modality for transformation?
This film aims to break the mold. It is a very personal story, delving into all elements of how sound can act as an inspiration and catalyst for growth.
We are essentially showing, rather than telling, the multi-faceted, very real relationships one can have with the ineffable qualities of vibration in a way that has the potential to change lives. It is an ongoing relationship.
A spiritual journey. A becoming. An unfolding.
story
DEFY EXPECTATIONS!
Rebelling against her mother’s disappointment in her for being “average,” Tryshe’s story begins with a desire to find her voice and see herself for who she truly is.
A profound lack of self-identity, legions of bad choices, and the hypnotic lure of rock-and-roll fame in 1960s San Francisco, along with its vibrant drug scene, all combine to steer Tryshe into the funnel of addiction and despair.
Survival is all she knows. Noise and confusion reign, while she sits face to face with the disturbing consequences of her journey, as shame was her only reflection. Tryshe is trapped reacting to her fate.
Does she choose her destiny?
story
NEWLY SOBER AND PENNILESS
At 31, ill-equipped to function in ‘normal’ society, Tryshe steps into a curious life adventure in real magic.
Inspired by a dream in the early morning stillness, a dream so literal, so clearly staged, and inspired by who-knows-what… she took it as a sign.
WILL SHE FOLLOW HER DESTINY?
Knowing she has little skill or experience to qualify her for such a task, she soon finds herself directing a ragtag group of recovering teenagers to tell their stories of addiction and sobriety through performance.
She prepares them to face their peers with unparalleled authenticity and courage.
story
Tryshe follows the stepping stones of her path as she navigates from chaos to flow, from disease to health. What we witness in her journey reflects a possibility that exists for all of us.
The film culminates in a powerful crescendo, where Tryshe finds that within the cacophony of life, there is a symphony longing to be played – a symphony of deep resonance and personal transformation.
Tryshe realizes that it is she who has become the instrument. She is the creator, the listener and the lover of the music…
She is music itself.

“I thought I was the teacher, but in reality, it was time to teach myself.
I had to learn that the world as I witness it around me is created by what is within me… and reflected back to me.
Sound made it possible for me to remember what my body already knows in its natural state of vibratory alignment.
Sound showed me that my body knows how to experience a return to wholeness.
This film is the story of my journey home.”
-Tryshe Dhevney

YOUR BODY IS A SYMPHONY
Every organ, cell and tissue sings its own melody, in perfect harmony with the whole.
Whether we are conscious of it or not, we both influence and are influenced by everything that exists around us. We produce what vibrations we will receive, experience, and transmit.
This film reveals the personal journey of how one person discovers in sound and music a panoramic experience of her true nature, one which transcends description. Sound made it possible for one woman to remember what she’s always known.
Her journey exposes the potential for empowerment at every level as an everyday occurrence.
