I traveled around the world to create the film which concept is "collecting the steps from all over the world and playing a music with the steps".

All of us breathe in the same air and step on the same ground.

Now, I'm in Tokyo. I was struck by strong earthquake when I was preparing for the final check. Many friends around the world worried about my safety. I was so touched. My family, me and Tokyo are OK. But the people of disaster area are in deep sorrow still now. Not only that, they spend their days worrying about aftershocks, tsunami and nuclear reactor problem. I want to support the people through every means I can. And, I hope that they resume peaceful everyday life as soon as possible.
We have received warm support from all over the world. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

    Are you kidding me? This is incredible!!! Thank you so much for sharing this. I would love to hear more about your production process: How long did you travel/shoot? How much raw footage? How long was the editing process?

  • Ankit Dangi 9 months ago
    Awesome! Magical moments and footsteps captured. With the steps of each one of them, there was tremendous sense of joy and pain in all faces of life on this planet. I loved the way it all came in together. Incredible work!

    Perhaps, a few more baby steps, and classical Indian dance steps would have made it purely touching.
