Kolgrim: Simple pleasures ~ Chapter Three
Listen to this.
Behind the scenes video.
Kolgrim has several forts set up around the island to provide shelter as he travels from one side to the next in search of food. In search of life. As he sleeps on the hard, makeshift bed of elephant leaves he is reminded of the simple pleasures in life that he took for granted.
Kolgrim realizes now that he was privileged to have a big, soft, king sized bed to sleep on, even though it took him two years to save for. His parents were wealthy, yet they always made him earn his own money. Kolgrim's monthly rent would nearly drain his entire paycheck, so with zero money at his finger tips, he had no choice but to enjoy the simpler things in life.
At nights he and Star would watch free movies on the Internet, and drink water from wine glasses because they couldn't afford the real thing. He always knew Star was amazing in this way. She didn't care about diamonds or flowers. She knew that the strength of a relationship wasn't measured by the jewelry Tiffany & Co were selling in commercials. It's measured by virtues. Walking the beach together, feeding the birds, honesty, commitment; all of these simple pleasures enriched their relationship and could not be compensated with anything material. Kolgrim knew society was being blinded by commercials and movies from what is really important in life.
Little things that shouldn't even be an issue, were warped into big ordeals. Like leaving the toilet seat up. People would get into fights over this. Why? Star and Kolgrim saw it in a different way though. She never puts the seat up for him, so why should he be obligated to put it down for her? Naive thinking passed down from generation to generation. And whoever coined the phrase, "the customer is always right," has given them way too much power. It's not right to treat people with disrespect just because they made a mistake. At times Kolgrim would get home from work and feel so beat down by all of the cruel customers. People of the old world were so disingenuous in this way. Kolgrim, wasn't perfect, but he could see that human kindness was slowly dissolving from our nature.
To be continued...

This is the third chapter to my new series. I went to Maunawili Falls yesterday and shot three scenes for this series. In another scene I had some curious tourists get in my shot. They were probably wondering what the half naked dude was doing splashing his face with water...over and over and over again :D I video taped a behind the scenes which I will upload to Facebook as soon as I get finished editing.
