MORE SHOES, a documentary about my journey on foot from Madrid to Kiev. A few years ago I was creatively adrift, looking to do something in film but unhappy with what I'd tried so far. Then I happened upon Werner Herzog's comment that aspiring filmmakers shouldn't bother going to film school. Instead, he said, they should make a journey alone, on foot, for five thousand kilometers, ""let's say from Madrid to Kiev"". This journey, he claimed, would teach one the essential nature of cinema. I decided to take Herzog's words literally and walk from Madrid to Kiev. MORE SHOES is the resultant filmed record of that journey. It's the story of who I met, what I saw, and how the whole experience changed me. The film premiered at Slamdance 2008 and went on to play 25 festivals worldwide, winning ""Best Documentary"" honors at three of them.
