Deeper Inspirations is my first movie. It tells the story of the birth of the Evolving Rhythms Tour.
In this miracle filled world at this miraculous moment in time, it's apparently possible for one, unqualified, unemployed, musician/producer/busker, to travell and live in a van, with a laptop and a camera, run off the vans batteries and a tiny wee solar pannel, to just cruise around for years, going where he went, pointing the camera at stuff, and talking to the peoeple he met, watching sunrises and sunsets and generally living like the KING OF THE POVERTY LINE... all the while creating a feature length movie, edited in the back of the van, parked on the tops of cliffs by stormy seas, in the mountains he filmed, on the beaches he swam at, in the carparks of malls in crowded cities, with the music he made along the way providing the soundtrack of his story...... who'd of thought..... he even uploaded some of it to youtube using a lil vodem thing that the cell phone people invented... just beamed it right out the window. wow. And somewhere out there, someone or something caught again... just some lil vibration in the soup of it all... and put it all together again....
CLEVER!
Deeper Inspirations.
It’s a movie about life. A movie about art, and music, and dancing, and dreaming, and living, and loving, and dying. It’s a movie about human potential, and a vision for the future. It’s a movie about real people and real events. Real alternatives. It’s about our world, now. A movie about religion and politics and mountains and fairies. It’s a movie made by one person with zero funding or budget, but with an almost unbelievable amount of support from earth angels every step of the way, and from sky angels every moment of the dream. It’s a movie without a script, or a storyboard. It’s a movie that never tried to be a movie. It’s a movie without actors, and no one got paid. It’s a movie about life. It’s a movie about inspiration. It’s a movie about living the dream, and rejoining the dreaming…
Enjoy and share.

Why free download?
I'm not a big fan of bureaucracy, rules and red tape, and I'm not that into following established ways of doing things. Giving my work away, essentially affirms a deep truth of life... We are all free.
In my freeness, I might choose to sell my work, the old way, but you (or some of you anyway, in your freeness), would pirate it, copy it for free. This new phenomenon of the information age is radically changing everything. And I choose not to fight against it. That would be boring and stressful... And I'd loose.
Making a movie can be an extremely expensive endeavor, mine wasn't. It was funded by busking, and rested squarely on the principal that original quality content and authenticity is more important than production quality. It was shot from the hip, it was spontaneous and real and fun. There were no second takes and no scripts. I incurred no debt, I have nothing to loose...
So now... Cyber busking!
For one thing, it excuses me from the slightly awkward and very expensive occupation of "Blowing my own trumpet" to try to hype up my work to you, the consumer, and then asking you to pay for something you know nothing about, except what you've seen through the hype I've bought with the $$ I don't yet have.
I prefer to assume something of the intelligence and integrity of you, the consumer, and your ability to source your own content, independent of the mainstream marketed media. I choose to think that if I allow my work to be experienced in full, it will, in your experience of it, either stand solidly on its own merit, (Yay!), or fall flat on its face. (Boo! ye uncultured philistine. Go watch RAMBO.)
I may be an idealistic optimist, yup, but it's worked for me before. I've made my best money busking.
I've made more money busking, as an average hourly rate, than in any other job I've done. Which is, if you think about it, extremely affirming.
I'd do what I love, in a public place, and the people that happened past on that day, would say:
"Thanks AJ, today, we think you're worth __$/hr."
And the hours are oh so flexible! I love the simplicity of the concept:
"I'll give you my thing that I do, free. If you like it, then you can give me something, or stick around. Buy me a drink. Whatever!"
So now I'm a cyber busker. Free and unbound by rules and red tape, utilizing the latest developments
in humanities technology of sharing, in our ongoing mission of finding new ways to giggle at ourselves. Placing the cart squarely before the horse at the top of the hill of humanities hedonism, ensuring the horse has a front row seat for all the action of the carts tumble to the turmoil of the next chapter of whatever we will, in our ongoing collective statement to the Universe of what it is we like! Yikes.
So there.
So come on, back me up.... It's a whole new concept... Let's rebuild the system with economic functionality as the after effect, not the motivating factor. C'mon! Download and donate! YAY!
Shanti shanti, bless, bless, and have heaps of FUN!

All donations go towards funding "The Evolving Rhythms Tour". I'm currently working on editing my next movie, based in the Pacific Islands, after returning there last winter...
Here's a preview:
After many twists and turns in the journey of life, I found myself sitting in the wheel house of a sea fairing catameran somewhere in the Vanuatu group, sharing time and space with a drum crazy shaman skipper, self titled Otto Zilch, (the worlds greatest Navigator), who looked at me through the smoke curls deep in the tropical night, cocked an eyebrow, lowered the other, deliberately reguarding me with merciless scrutiny, leaned in close and then muttered BOOM.... BOOM shanti....... BOOMshanti Baba..., before whimsically returning to contemplation of the smoke curls....
The name stuck with me, and we set sail, armed with a drum and a camera, the Evolving Rhythms Tour was born...
