Daughter of Godcast 024
A podcast about movie making and the scifi featurette, Daughter of God, with Director Shri Fugi Spilt, (Dan Kelly). Crazy.
Greetings and come on in to Episode 024 of the Daughter of Godcast, the story of the making of the scifi featurette, Daughter of God and a few other movies too.
This is Episode 024, Crazy and we’re deep into shirking Daughter of God for water and sunshine. In Episode 023, we left the 16ft Hobie catamaran Hello World anchored in familiar Traverse City after about 10 days and approximately 100 miles of open water sailing.
In Search of Sustainable Civilizations, I shot interviews at the Schooner Festival and Home Grown, a local organic eatery. I also needed to tweak the rig, and tune my ensemble of components.
Analogy
I discovered that my alcohol stove demanded undrinkable denatured alcohol rather than the multi-purposed grain I had stocked up on, so I swapped for my much hotter Whisperlite white gas stove. I needed the charger for my laptop. A new paddle. And Steve’s bike was going to come too!
A dash of this and a teaspoon of that. The recipe for life, for exploring what we are. Improvising the pancakes as we go along. Making me.
I rode my narrative scifi short as far as I could. The life recipe required other ingredients. I needed the wild earth, risk, freedom, discovery, physicality. The sensibility of traveling rough.
As above so below. The adjustments to the expedition’s gear were an analog, the trip itself was an adjustment to my creative process.

Melonie sent me emails at the start and end of the the 2009 expedition.

I keep having dreams about the water and fish and boats, it's calling. My grandad was a seamen, as was his father before him and his also, the seamen in my blood is pulling me (that sounds really gross) Your journey is stoking my ache. I remember a time in Alaska when I never thought I'd live on land again. Boy has my life changed. When people tell me you are crazy for what you are doing, I think they are wrong, they are crazy for never doing it. How alive are you feeling? Cold, weather beaten, you know exactly where you are and what the fuck you are doing, there are no slumbering zombies on the water. No complacent entertainment-entranced bobble-headed couch-potatoes. There is a man in a very funny outfit on a tiny open raft merging with the elements, facing forward, making his own story.
According to the standards of convention, OF COURSE I was crazy. I could have died. I could have woken up, I could have shed the assumptions and paradigms that keep Americans matrixed.
I want a real country, I want a just and sustainable world, I want things that no one should dare want because, according to sane perspectives, they are impossible.
I got arrested in 2003 protesting a war, but America IS war. Way before George W’s Shock and Awe, through Obama, the hep face of empire, to 2017 and the authentic face, Trump. Welcome to the national acid trip, staring into a mirror and unable to look away. If Trumpy bothers you, maybe you are at las
