“LIKE A TORNADO CHASER, I’M GOING TO TRACK DOWN AND INTERCEPT THE FIRST MOSH PIT IN THE UK AFTER COVID-19. AS PART OF THE FILM-MAKING PROCESS, I’LL BE SPEAKING TO MUSICIANS, SCIENTISTS AND VETERAN MOSHERS, TO REMINISCE, REFLECT AND ROMANTICISE ABOUT WHY WE LIKE TO COLLIDE WITH EACH OTHER TO LOUD MUSIC, AND WHAT WE’VE LOST THIS LAST YEAR AS A RESULT OF SOCIAL DISTANCING AND SELF-ISOLATION.” - Tom Dream

This promises to be more than a film about moshing. It’s a film about the resilience of the DIY music industry in this country; all the bands, fans, photographers, tour managers, roadies, sound engineers and independent venues that make the music industry what it is today in the UK.

It’s also a film about what we’ve lost this past year to covid, and what we’ve been through mentally. The science of human touch, the psychology of crowd behaviour, and the impact of isolation on our mental wellbeing and our creativity. We’ll uncover the power of communal alchemy, social and sonic harmony, and that transcendent feeling in the pit, where for one brief moment, many people make a whole.

Now I believe this film will serve as both an ode to the awesomeness of the independent music scene in the UK, whilst also capturing the utter joy and catharsis of tracking down the first mosh pit after more than a year of social distancing.
