Impression Reel

Hola amigos,
I am back to write some words. I almost forgot the internet, because of the "Magic Pacific Ocean" here in Mancora. The video contains some impressions of the last weeks in Peru. Anyway the time of "agressive chilling" is over on thursday I am heading to Lima, where I will fly to Iquitos to start my main-project SACHAMAMA.

Heaps of good energy for all of you!

First stop Mancora Beach!

Hey fellas,
the very first step of my adventure is done. I arrived after two days in airplaines and buses at the little paradise, called Mancora. It is a small town in the north of Peru and very famous for its surfspots and the best kite surfing school in this area. I am here with two friends from Germany and we are searching the waves, "slacklining between palmtrees" and "viva la vida". I just can say it is the perfect place to prepare me for my film project in Iquitos in November.

much love!

Johannes

The Idea

The standart way of a design student at the University of Applied Sciences in Trier, is to graduate after 9 or 10 semestres. After the 5th or 6th semestre you normally go out of Trier for an apprenticeship in an advertising agency, or an external semestre on a partner university somewhere arround the globe. When I heared that you also can do your own project, I had the idea of shooting a film about Don Francisco Montes and his etnobotanical garden "Sachamama". I spent one week at Sachamama in summer 2008. The garden is situated in the middle of the rainforest 45 min. away from Iquitos (Northwest Peru). Along my journey last summer I became more and more fascinated by the subject of schamanism and the work of Don Francisco as a schaman. The Idea was born and a lot of paperwork and planning had to be done...

See you soon! ;-)
