In 2012, the Watermen Project embarked on an expedition to Isla de Guadalupe, Mexico. Along with the team (Dr. Mauricio Hoyos and Fred Buyle) William placed 11 acoustic tags on Great White Sharks to study their migratory behavior. The goal of these studies is to further understand their long term movements to in turn propose conservation and management plans.

It is no accident that William, adrenaline junkie par excellence, happens to be the current free-diving world record holder (145m or 50 stories). Clearly, William and his team go where none have gone before.

William Winram does not need breathing equipment nor a cage to be with sharks.

“It’s the fantastical journey of the Man in the Moon returning to his childhood home, and a bit of a metaphor for Sir Elton himself,” says Brent of the video.

The man is seen, quite picturesquely at that, from the point of view of different ages as he travels across an imaginative landscape back in time to his childhood home.

Visually poetic, right?

Much like his well-known advertizing visual signature, West of the Moon is chock-full of fantasy imagery and enticing, subtle effects.

The film’s script is penned by Bonacorso himself. He chooses to tell the story from the point of view of an old man reflecting on his past life. He pines for a past love lost during the Great War. “There was no Great War,” his forlorn narrator says, “it was a terrible one.”

He brings back his love from the dead with his grenade heart.

Beautiful, right?
