    groovyfilms.biz's Interests
General
SPIRITUALITY, ARTHOUSE FILMS/VISUAL ART, VEGETARIAN DIET, BEING CREATIVE IN GENERAL, SPREADING HARMONY WHEN I CAN...WORKING WITH FILM STUDENTS.

TRAVELING TO BULGARIA, NEW ENGLAND, SWAMPS OF NORTH CAROLINA...MY HEAD. HIKING, BIKING, CAMPING, YOGA, GROOVING ALONG MERELY...BUT WHO DOESN'T DO THAT IN COLORADO? PEACE-TENT, JOHN.



MusicMusically, anything from acid rock to Bulgarian folk music. From symphony orchestra to disco, from jazz to African boogie. Do not dig much on rap, pure country, or any type of thrash metal tunage. BUT there are exceptions, such as bluegrass, some head banger stuff...some techno as well.







I was just old enough to have been there when the Partridge family was on T.V. How could one not love that psychedelic bus! I was about as young as the youngest member of the band (the little girl) I was also old enough to have had a crush on Susan Dey...and still do! Corny, perhaps, but the music reminds me of a simpler (albiet naive) time..."The mellow 70's" to coin a collegec term, was true enough, as compared to what has become of musical/social trends today...I sorely miss those times. And now, it is time for the groovy gosple tune...



Pretty Things...that's the name of the band...I just discovered them via youtube. Fascinating that I do not recall ever hearing about this exceptionally groovy band. So groovy, in fact, that when I viewed the video "LSD" below, I figured it to be a modern band mimicing acid rock of the 1960's. I thought, "No, that's too good for me to have never heard before." That tune would have played on oldies rock stations for decades (probably did in England, where I'm sure the band hit the charts). Wow, what a discovery to find that Pretty Things escaped my ears (so eager to hear original 60's pshychedelic music) for all these years. Check it:



Dust in the corner of my heart

Movies groovyfilms of course!

3rd Annual Now Film Festival -Wk 19 Finalist - City Paradise


Television
at gun-point, perhaps, I'd watch yee old tubage. Actually, I do delve into educational programing, from time to time, the news, etc...not much else, though.



Books
I read some of them...a sucker for the classics.
Heroes
Do you mean other than the standard: Gandhi, Jesus, Mother Theresa, Mother Earth/Gaya, Buddha, and Leo Tolstoy? Sofia, because she's the mother of Bulgaria.

Sofia!


XZanthia, because she has an art commune and goes the distance in experimental filmmaking.



The Zee for her cosmic dedication.

About me:








INDEPENDENT, MICRO-LOW BUDGET FILMMAKER AND VISUAL ARTIST. VEGETARIAN. PHILOSOPHOR. RETRO, ALTERNATIVE, MEDITATOR...DOOR. I endevour to make art house films of a cinematic, explosive and inspirational nature. A positive but groovy message is the goal. This approach often takes audience through a rather dark tunnle before showing them the light. The darker the film, the more we appreciate the light...in theory, anyway. I feel groovy. Goodbye.

MY FILMS:

"Bridge Crusader"


"Reel-Illusionary Zone trailer"


Kan'Nal "Desert Flower"


"Santa Claws"


Rainbow Gathering 2006-2008
..

"Boot Skier"


"Big Bucks"


"Daymare"


"Bark of the Tree"


"Teen Preacher Electric"


Who I'd like to meet:


HUMANOIDS TO HARMONIZE WITH. I appreciate sincere communication. I'll likely not be too responsive unless you make an attempt to leave a message. I'd rather have a few close friends (Internet or otherwise) than a near countless array of friends that I've never even corresponded with. So, please be real...really groovy. Peace, John.
