Song to be used in Lee Kazimir's Film More Shoes

I just got confirmation today that the track "Father's Ears" will be used in Lee Kazimir's documentary Film "More Shoes".

The film "More Shoes" is a documentary following Lee Kazimir's travels from Madrid to Kiev. Inspiration for Lee's film came from filmmaker Werner Herzog concerns about film school. Herzog once said that aspiring filmmakers should substitute film studies in place of a long journey, "let's say from Madrid to Kiev." Walking by that way!

Herzog continued "...while you are walking, you would learn much more about filmmaking and what it truly involves than you ever would sitting in a classroom. Your experiences would be the very opposite of academic knowledge, for academia is the death of cinema."

And that is just what lee did. In March 2006 armed with a tent, a camera and some other basics lee began his walk form Madrid to Kiev, passing through Spain, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Poland, and the Ukraine on his way.

This film and its set up seems to be very unique in many ways, for example the method in which Lee obtained funding and his excellent travel journal. I can't really do justice by writing a few lines in my blog about it so best you head over to Lee's site and discover for yourself. Oh, and check out my song too ( :
