While Gaza is alight, and the Americans have asked for Israel to talk...........and a huge death toll is being counted (a lot of children in that count) the world seems to move on. Oh...and planes are blown out of the sky with innocent civilians on board.......
Anyway, enough about our free world leaders - lets lighten up with inspirational reasons why we love this new film.
If you live in Australia many people have a little gem just north of them named Bali, part of Indonesia. There are number of people who also get sick of hearing about the place or have only ventured into the busy Kuta district. But there are many parts to Bali and Indonesia which is part of an archipelago, supposedly resting on a huge underwater volcanic rim.
In our new film we have ventured to many Islands and remote locations, including jungles. All the time we have had a surf theme and travel feel. We compare Australia to Indonesia and leave the viewer with their own decision on culture and life comparisons.
We were delighted to read the editorial in the latest Tracks Magazine (September 2014 issue out now) by Luke Kennedy titled " Indo I Miss you". This seems to us, to sum up why we keep going back from time to time. This excellent description of Indo says it all.
6Ps is not a one trick pony however. We will be travelling to other destinations and presenting our interpretation of destinations we are yet to experience.
We are inspired by places never seen and new locations. This can be anywhere! Parallel is about places we had never seen and learning about culture so rich it makes you dribble.
There is also a rich mixture of great magazines and websites out there that deliver unique places to your newsagent or your IPad. Some great magazines to get us inspired are "Paper Sea" and "White Horses".
We have collaborated (or at least been given permission) to include "Southwave" and "The Bird" footage in Parallel. Southwave seem to specialise in Australian footage of monstrous slabs, and "The Bird" specialises in filming from "drones". Our appreciation to them for being so generous.
Both can be found on Vimeo. Or www.southwave.com.au The bird does't seem to have a website, but if you go to Vimeo and type in Mentawies June 2014 by The Bird you will see some magic footage.
The shot above is Playgrounds on the Island of Lembongen. We were having a cold beer at The Panorama Bar and this guy hooked into a good one, while we hooked into beer - I think he ended up with the better deal.
We are also putting together a short film trailer of Parallel because we believe samples are good way for you to decide the films fate.
So, here we are on the cliff ready to jump with our latest love, apprehensive, nervous but excited. This film is about culture, surf, and different countries running on a Parallel, but never touching.
Aloha
