About the Interviews, Interviewees and Content of the Film
The people who were interviewed in What The Bleep Do We Know!? were chosen based on a number of criteria: books they'd written that were read by the filmmakers, lectures and presentations that they'd given which had been attended by various of the filmmakers, and recommendations by others in the experts' respective fields. Ultimately, we chose these people to interview because their professional work was germane to the topics being addressed in the film. Still, the filmmakers do not necessarily support each and every statement made by all the interviewees.
By the same token, it's also true that the people themselves who were interviewed in the film do not completely agree with each and every statement made in the film. Many professional perspectives are presented. The filmmakers chose to represent them all in the film, but it could never be possible in a film - or, perhaps, in life! - to get a group of 14 extraordinary people such as these to agree completely on a single cosmological view.
