DRIPPING GOLD: AROUND THE WORLD IN THREE MINUTES

CONCRETE PLAYGROUND IS ONE OF THOSE WEBSITES THAT CONSTANTLY TEACHES ME

IT GIVES ME INSPIRATION THROUGH KNOWLEDGE AND AMAZING VISUALS

THEIR RECENT POST ABOUT INDEPENDENT FILM MAKER RICK MERECKI IS BRILLIANT

IT MADE ME WANT TO JUMP ON A PLANE WITH A GREAT FRIEND AND EXPLORE

AND EAT AND CAPTURE THE DIVERSITY OF THE WORLD

"Mereki has created three short films taken from footage of a trip with two mates, covering 11 different countries and over 38 thousand miles in 44 days. Each film is only about a minute in duration and is based on a theme; in Move we follow as one of Mereki's friends walks through a series of stunning landscapes, in Learn we see the skills he attempts to acquire along the way (soccer, pizza making, wine tasting, weaving, guitar) and in Eat we see a smorgasboard of international delights.

It's a simple idea, as the brilliant ones usually are. The themes are clear, the images strong and it is all held together by a lovely little soundtrack. Move, Learn, Eat are beautiful reminders of the joys of travelling, the fun of learning and the delight of food. They also remind you of the shortcomings of your own travel snaps."
