Fundraising for a Planet Diva full feature →
indiegogo.com
So the original Planet Diva is a short film by John Hartman of Reel Groovy films that he’s hoping to turn into a full length piece. I play a strange sort of savant tech-samurai who carries a machine that interprets my eyebrow manipulations into spoken language. It has a post-apocalyptic premise, a grindhouse aesthetic, some bondage/s&m elements, as well as a general spiritual regeneration theme. Currently there is a series of short films being developed to illustrate the full length film’s environment, those can be seen on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/user/LifeOnPlanetDiva/videos

in the folding mind
where heard absent sounds
though the plane surrounds us
and it takes us underground
careful daughter dear
east tangled winds
parched and ragged lips
and stained fingertips
there’s no betrayer
oh the stormy seas
how we cast ashore
with the heights of the downs sweating rocks
behind our hobbled door
how i kissed you there
in your patient eyes
all the oceans sighs
breathed forever and nevermore
we are scattered leaves
we are forest floors
we are roots and softly singing streams
sleeping birds in a crease of ancient tree
there’s no betrayer

Re-upload of Random Eye Movements
So when this was first put up, there were some issues with the id3 tags of the mp3s and everything was out of order in ITunes. That’s been fixed and here is the new download of this post-apocalyptic cyberpunk novella, narrated by Magpie Eksterboom and written by Tovio Roberts…
