A rising hotshot in the cinema business loses and then rediscovers
his spirituality along the way to making history with David Bowie.
In the autumn of 2003 author Marc John organised a live satellite
broadcast of a specially produced David Bowie concert which was
shown exclusively in cinemas around the world. This marked the
first time ever that a live event had been beamed to cinemas
world-wide, and reflects the coming of 'digital cinema', which is
seeing the cinema industry steadily adopt satellite dishes, hard
drives and digital projectors to diversify cinema programming to
include live music, sport, interactivity and video games, for the
first time in cinemas 100 year old history. This book goes
revealingly behind the scenes as this major, digital transition
takes place, culminating with the fast paced, high flying
experience of beaming David Bowie to tens of thousand of fans
across four continents in sold out, rocking cinemas. But at what
price to the authors spiritual direction did this historic landmark
and career height cost? As an aspiring actor/playwright in New York
in his teenage years, a former political candidate back home in
England in his 20s and a guerrilla moviemaker whose low budget
digital video experiments brought him into the executive ranks of
Odeon, the UKs biggest cinema chain, the author discovered, through
many improbable adventures leading up to the Bowie gig, the journey
in life that we are all on. And this book is as much about the
change within as it is about the change around us as the digital
age gathers pace in transforming every area of our work and lives.
