Rick Mereki, an Australian independent filmmaker, recently released the final product of the project of a lifetime. The old saying is that big things come in small packages. Mereki crafted three one-minute videos out of "3 guys, 44 days, 11 countries, 18 flights, 38 thousand miles...2 cameras and almost a terabyte of footage." A big thing in a small package indeed, especially when the short shorts express the grandeur of living life that Mereki was aiming to capture. Sure the cost of traveling to a dozen foreign countries probably cost an arm and a leg (it was made possible for Mereki with the support of an Australian travel agency), but the film's leading man doesn't do anything too extravagant. Instead he relishes in the simple; taking lessons from street-artists, walking around a city to see what it has to offer, and eating good food, in whatever form it comes in.
