Aldous Byron Clarkson

Edison award winning multi-instrumentalist Aldous Byron Clarkson achieved international success and mega stardom in Japan with his debut album 'Gaia', selling over 1 million copies of his debut album 'Valensia'. He wrote and composed the album at the age of 16. After a career which spanned more than 2 decades Clarkson still was only 37 years old and could easily switch to the film industry as a movie director, having directed most of his own video clips. In 2011 Clarkson wrote, produced and financed his first feature film 'spo0K'. Both cast and crew initially thought Clarkson was a wealthy, spoiled rock star who just wanted to do a movie for a change, causing tensions on the set and leaving Clarkson with only 60% of the movie shot. Clarkson was about to throw away the entire production shot on RED but managed to complete the severely damaged movie using a cheap handy cam and directing his two main actors one on one. In 2014 Clarkson then came up with the impossible sounding project to do a feature film called 'Levine' all by himself, without a crew, a cast or a budget. Warned by many that this idea was a too huge project for one man Clarkson commenced principal photography on November 2014 with a RED camera and nothing more. He successfully concluded 'Levine' in February 2017, having done every job of the movie from set dressing to acting to playing each violin of the orchestra playing the movie score he wrote.
