The Idiotmakers Gravity Tour is the upcoming fictional narrative feature film directed by Daniel Kremer, and co-written by Kremer and William Cully Allen (the films lead actor), primarily shot in Uttar Pradesh, India. This elegy to the classic 70s American journey films (e.g. Five Easy Pieces and Two-Lane Blacktop) and 1960s literature (e.g. Carlos Castaneda, Ken Kesey) features exciting locations in rural and urban India, Montreal, New York and Eureka, California. It tells the story of Max Plugyn, a jaded relic of the 60s who has recently turned 57 years old. Max ran away from home at age 16 to hitchhike across country (based upon the actor-writers real-life experience). A guru-like figure named Teschlock took Max under his wing when he reached the Lost Coast area of California and introduced him to the hallucinogenic wonders of the land. Teschlock, a self-proclaimed diablero (shape-shifter) and a widely renowned charismatic ascetic, invited Max to come to India with him and a few of his other disciples to live on an ashram in 1970. Max, following a truly transcendent meditation experience in which he returned from an outer-body death experience, declined and returned home to the bosom of his family to lead a different life. Now, decades later, Max finds himself in Uttar Pradesh in search of his gurus unknown grave-site. A year after arriving there, Master Teschlock went off and vanished one day in remote rural India, never to be heard from again. It is said that Teschlock buried himself. Max has now come to India to find him, following a trail of cryptic clues.
