, 2007
Dir: Marc Israel
Prd: Marc Israel
TRT: 79 min
Marc Israel is attending film festivals where 'Nearer My God To Thee' (concerning his troubled health & subsequent misadventures with Brazilian healer John of God) is receiving many accolades. Yet Israel still suffers intensely. Then, in the midst of a suicide mission, he becomes intoxicated with a 'rebirth of wonder' after imbibing copious amounts of mind-altering Kombucha tea. Thus begins an epic, desperate, & often hilarious quest thru the USA & Southeast Asia investigating a mysterious international motorbike balancing contest. Lean into the world alongside an assortment of renegade personalities, including the outlandish curators of Austin's Museum of Ephemerata, the charismatic ex-Amish street philosopher & Optimist Club founder Skutter, a self-described 'towel-face artist', and a motley assortment of bike balancers in Vietnam.
