Filmed throughout Southeast Asia by
Robert Millis between 2002-2004, My
Friend Rain is an abstract homage to the
endless monsoon cycles of rebirth and
destruction. Dreamy musical segments,
fleeting glimpses, odd sounds, temple
shrines, tropical backdrops, decay,
death, languid afternoon rains, and
mysterious celebratory events take the
viewer from soaked mornings in the
lowlands of the Irrawaddy delta to humid
nights on the streets of Isan province.
Two tracks originally released on
MillisÆ Leaf Music, Drunks, Distant
Drums CD from 2002 can now be witnessed
for the first time in this film: an
amazing elephant mahout playing a song
on a leaf with his mouth and a Burmese
marionette orchestra musician performing
expertly on tuned drums. The overall
experience is an impressionistic collage
of sight and sound captured live and in
the moment on location in Laos,
Thailand, Cambodia and Myanmar. Along
with the DVD which features 12 minutes
of extra footage and deleted scenes, the
package includes a bonus CD with the
filmÆs soundtrack of traditional and
popular music culled from live
performance, cassette and LP archives.

Some of the soundtrack highlights: a
gorgeous Thai Luk Thung track by Waiphot
Phetsuphan, a classic Khmer performance
by Pan Ron, one of the Queens of
Cambodian music, and an epic Burmese pop
rendition of the Bee GeeÆs How Do You
Mend a Broken Heart, alongside folk
performers, street musicians and a
traditional Burmese orchestra. Robert
Millis, original co-founder of both
Climax Golden Twins and AFCGT, also co-
produced the Victrola Favorites Book/CD
project on Dust to Digital and is a
frequent contributor to the Sublime
Frequencies label.

DVD/CD comes in a 2-disc jewel box with
full-color insert.
