I like to screen my work for my cat Fidget. If she likes what I have done, she purrs. If she thinks it needs work, she hisses at the screen. Luckily, she gave my latest film, Everything Is Forever, 4 paws up. She thought it was purrfect!

Vic Zimet is a real one-of-a-kind guy. His previous film, Random Lunacy: Videos From the Road Less Traveled — co-directed with his partner Stephanie Silber — is a genuine underground film hit.

Everything Is Forever is the new documentary by director Vic Zimet and co-producer Stephanie Silber. The film is an inspiring profile of musician Nenad Bach, who left his thriving musical career in Croatia to become a worldwide ambassador of peace. He has brought his message of goodwill by meeting and performing for heads of state and appearing with fellow musicians such as Bono, Pavarotti, and Garth Hudson of The Band.
Currently the film is raising funds through an innovative new crowdfunding program called Fundrazr in which donors are rewarded with gift cards for popular businesses like Starbucks, Subway, Best Buy, Home Depot and others in amounts equal to the donation. So, it’s just like buying a gift card and having your money go straight to the filmmakers. And that money, in this case, will go towards finishing funds and a proposed film tour accompanied by appearances with Nenad and his band.

Everything Is Forever is the latest documentary by Vic Zimet, who previously co-directed the phenomenal doc hit Random Lunacy: Videos From the Road Less Traveled.
This latest documentary profiles musician Nenad Bach, who left an enormously successful career in his home country of Croatia to try to make it big in the U.S. Over the course of Bach’s professional life he has performed with a wide range of fellow musicians, from Bono to Pavarotti, and has served as an unofficial “peace” ambassador, hobnobbing with heads of state such as President Bill Clinton.
Zimet has followed Bach for this documentary over the course of fifteen years all across the planet as the musician brings his songs of peace to the citizens of the world.
While Everything Is Forever has been fully edited, Zimet is currently raising funds on Indiegogo for finishing costs and other post-production expenses. Along with his partner,...

“I’ve seen lots of jazz funerals … and they’re always so abstract.” The jazz funeral seen in the short film Song of the Gods is all too concrete for the extended family of the late happy wanderer Poppa Neutrino and anybody whose seen the documentary Random Lunacy, which so brilliantly chronicled Neutrino’s life. The feature-length doc and the above embedded coda to that film were both directed and produced by Victor Zimet and Stephanie Silber. Song of the Gods is a sweet and sad tribute to this man’s philosophy and legacy.
Random Lunacy: Videos From the Road Less Traveled was a big hit on the underground and indie film circuit a few years ago and is currently available on Amazon and Netflix. Although Zimet and Silber put the film together and shot some modern footage and interviews, the bulk of the film is made out of the...

Been meaning to link to this for a few weeks now, but Rupert Owen has posted up the slides from a talk he gave about starting a viable streaming video business. Of course, these would be much better with Owen talking along with them, but still very interesting to flip through and gives much to think about.News worth rejoicing over: Waylon Bacon’s putting together a compilation DVD of his amazing short films. He picked the best picture for the cover, too.Felix Vasquez Jr. of Cinema Crazed recently interviewed two of my favorite documentary people, Vic Zimet and Stephanie Silber of Random Lunacy fame.For the L Magazine, Mark Asch has a quick round-up of some of this year’s SXSW films, including the much anticipated The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye by Marie Losier.

William David Pearlman, aka Poppa Neutrino, the star of the hit documentary Random Lunacy: Videos From the Road Less Traveled, has passed away at the age of 77 due to heart failure. Famous for not calling any one place home, Neutrino died Sunday, Jan. 23 at University Hospital in New Orleans. He was in Louisiana visiting his daughter Ingrid, a former member of the world-famous Flying Neutrino band.
Poppa Neutrino lived a life that was made to be made into a film. Fully committed to wandering the entire planet, Neutrino embarked on adventures that wouldn’t be believable if he and his family hadn’t committed to documenting their journeys on film and video. Some of his more outrageous exploits included commandeering a traveling circus in Mexico and sailing across the Atlantic Ocean in a homemade raft.
Footage captured by the family were edited into the brilliant documentary Random Lunacy by Victor Zimet and Stephanie Silber.

It appears the phrase “footloose and fancy-free” was created to describe the life of career homeless adventurer Poppa Neutrino. Random Lunacy: Videos from the Road Less Traveled is a feature-length documentary masterfully crafted and directed by Victor Zimet and Stephanie Silber out of years of home video recordings taken by this wandering minstrel and his family. That’s it embedded above. Watch it.
Poppa Neutrino is one of the most intriguing and fascinating characters ever caught on film — or, video, as it were. So, it’s fantastic that so many of his and his family’s adventures were well documented by themselves because you wouldn’t believe what they did if you didn’t see it firsthand yourself. Run a Mexican circus? Yep, they did it. Build a homemade boat and sail across the Atlantic ocean? Yep, they did it. Is that insane or inspired? You decide!
In addition to the home video footage,...
