Finding Bliss: Fire & Ice - The Director's Cut
Resignation, Frustration and Helplessness is what we all face as humans living on this planet. In a place like Hong Kong these conditions are intensified and magnified by the densely populated living conditions! The pressures of just trying to survive in the big city are already enough to drive people into extreme physical, emotional and mental conditions. These extreme conditions can cause humans to “lock-up“ in every way!
In this documentary, “Finding Bliss: Fire and Ice - The Director’s Cut” we get a group of well-known but “reserved" musicians and music students from the bustling streets of Hong Kong and send them halfway around the world to the natural landscapes of Iceland: Fire and Ice. Through connecting and sharing with the people of Iceland and ultimately themselves we hope through this little adventure of music, games and culture can provide a different P.O.V to add to their experience in life.
The goal is to ease the pressure off their physical being through opening their eyes, mind and soul so they can hopefully get to “un-lock“ themselves a little more, feel a little lighter, feel a little happier and feel a little bit more of what they call “bliss. “
