Plot

Max Plugin is a jaded but flamboyant relic of the 1960s. In his teens, Max ran away to California, where he met Teschlock, a charismatic ascetic and guru renowned among a small group of young followers. At that time, when Teschlock asked Max to join him and his disciples on an ashram in India, Max declined and returned home. Now, forty years later, at age 57, Max takes a journey to India to find Teschlock's grave-site, and also himself. His adventures in India, and his Castaneda-esque experiences back home, form the heart of this very unusual road movie.

Production

The Idiotmaker's Gravity Tour was filmed predominantly in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India, starting in the fall of 2010, with production ending a little less than a year later, in August 2011. The film was released in September 2011.

Reception

Independent filmmaking icon Rob Nilsson called the film, "a no-budget, do-it-yourself excursion to India from a filmmaker of considerable enterprise and admirable aplomb."[2] Director Daniel Kremer was interviewed for both Around Philly[3] and Philly Broadcaster[4] around the time of the film's release.
