Synergy: Visions of Vibe

"It's all about the vibe, the universal groove."

Synergy: Visions of Vibe is a comprehensive documentary chronicling the underground rave culture in Southern California, one of its first American strongholds. With roots in a tribal past, this movement attempts to format the future of a truly global community by combining elements of electronic/percussive music, the psychedelic imagination, and mass dancing.

From warehouses to mountain retreats to the deserts of the Mojave, Synergy: Visions of Vibe brings an unseen world into clear focus. With kinetic camera work and candid interviews, this slice of visual anthropology probes the underbelly of a worldwide subculture with the help of some of electronic music's most acclaimed DJs, a technomusicologist, and a county sheriff.

Shot primarily on 16mm film, Snyergy: Visions of Vibe is both a moving entertainment experience and an intimate portrait of a modern counter-culture that follows its own electronically induced beat.
