The new feature-length documentary from Relentless Energy Drink, ‘Lives of the Artists: Follow Me Down’ explores a theme that anyone driven by some immeasurable passion will recognise — that there are no easy rides in life.
Enter the twisted and unpredictable realm of intense personal obsession and heroic artistic pursuit as we journey to the ends of the earth for the second chapter in our award-winning cinematic adventure, Lives of the Artists.
Featuring James Lavelle and UNKLE and legendary freeriders Jeremy Jones and Xavier De Le Rue, ‘Follow Me Down’ explores a theme that anyone driven by some immeasurable passion will recognise — that there are no easy rides in life.
We travel to Antarctica, spurning the usual ‘heli-drop and ride’, big-mountain approach in search of the more visceral rewards that come with scaling each near-vertical face on foot. And we join UNKLE on tour in Tokyo, St. Petersburg and London, immersing ourselves in the uncompromising sounds and beliefs of a pioneering musical outfit that has strived to push the boundaries of artistic expression while retaining total integrity for close to 20 years.
The film vividly merges two disparate stories from entirely different worlds into one beautiful and compelling tribute to human perseverance.
The soundtrack to the film, scored exclusively by Unkle. Inspired by dreamy experimental electronica, sixties soundtracks and the ambient masterwerks of Brian Eno, the score act as an extraordinary tribute to the inward-looking nature of the film, as well as the vast and imposing locations where it was shot. A dark menace lurks beneath the surface of both soundtrack and film.

With gift giving you can not only help yourself, but avoid heavy taxes for future generations. And by lowering the size of your estate, you can lower the probate cost as well as the legal fees which can eat up much of your estate.
Gift giving has been done for a long time, a way to reduce the value of what you own and there are various ways of going about it. Annually, any person in the US can give up to $12,000 worth of property to another person. This gift is given with no taxes due as long as the amount stays with that limit.
Your spouse and any charity you choose can receive and unlimited amount from you. Even though this sound like a good idea, it only shifts that tax problem over to her so giving to others like children and grandchildren is a better idea. Another benefit to gift giving is the appreciation value of your gifts. The assets will grow by the time you pass away. There are many details involved with this giving so it is wise to consult with a estate planning attorney when the time comes.
