The Journey - Piers and the Straw Studio

Piers, a dedicated musician, became inspired to build his own studio from straw bales. He initially learnt the technique by volunteering on a pre-existing build. Equipped with the knowledge and with the help of volunteers he was able to complete a beautiful organic studio in his own back yard. The cycle continues with those volunteers now working on their own individual projects.
Piers has also a member of the creative team for the Journey, his music is used for the soundtrack on the majority of the Journey films

This short film is part of "The Journey" an unique documentary project that delves into environmental, socio-culture and economic issues, with a questioning mind.
The focus of the project is to find and film inspiring ideas and projects over a wide spectrum of individuals and cultures, whilst examining our ability to reform our ideals, and our lifestyle in order to make positive changes for our planet and the human race.
The Journeymen (a person whom travels in order to gain experience, skills and knowledge) go in search of these stories - equipped only with minimal filming gear and personal possessions, they document their experience as they travel to global communities to observe, question and learn.
It is an organic process that grows, evolves and takes its own direction. With no planned route nor destination, the journeymen believe they will connect with the right people and places at the right time to film, aid and guide them on.

The project is currently filming and traveling through the UK. As the project travels short films are uploaded that can be viewed on this website. It is the long-term goal that this project will travel internationally to create a feature length film that will be released, to be viewed for free.
The projects aims to benefit individuals, projects and communities by sharing knowledge, offering solutions and connecting people through film.
It is the hope this project will touch and inspire people, by conveying the beauty within human nature and our world and resonating what is actually possible, when it comes it comes to our ability to change the world for the better.

Shocked to see electronics inside. Also, disagree that if you're "too adult" you can't be creative and resourceful. Those people just create different things, though.
