It appears that Questlove is slightly afraid of the woods. In this exclusive trailer for Jennifer Elster's film series "The Being Experience," actors and musicians like Alan Cumming, Terrence Howard, Moby, Rufus Wainwright and others venture out into nature to explore their subconscious. The majority of the trailer focuses on "...In the Woods," the film series in which Elster's subjects are both literally and figuratively unaware of their path. Each of them have different reactions to the sudden natural setting. Moby and Howard reflect on their inner selves, while Wainwright and Questlove sound thoroughly unamused with wandering through the forest. The first installment from the series premieres on Jun 25 on "The Being Experience" website. Other films in the series include "...Into the Cave," "In My Mirror," "The Mill," "Concrete Underground" and "But We Are Home".

Some really bizarre and interesting videos by director Jennifer Elster have been making the online rounds, and we've been doing some digging to find out just what the hell they're all about. Read on for a bit of info on Itw: Pathway / In the Woods - A walk into the core.
From Jennifer Elster's blog on The Huffington Post:
In the Woods is a mysterious, existential film journey: a walk into the unknown. The experience is a seduction into our own existence. What's the plot? Who knows? The film crawls into and explores the crevices of the minds of its subjects and myself. Hmmm...? Should I go there? I don't know. I kind of want to. Maybe I will. How far can I go? How far can I push it?
The brave cast includes Terrence Howard, Moby, Will Shortz, Famke Janssen, Will Oldham, Temple Grandin, Debra Winger, Jorgen Leth,...

This trailer doesn't reveal much more than we already know about director Jennifer Elster's trip "In The Woods" other than that it might be even more esoteric than it first seemed. It does let us hear a bit of Yoko Ono's contribution to the score though -- her first for a feature film. In fact it's her unsettling, breathy vocalizations that amp up the "Blair Witch" creep factor.
A tagline appeared with the trailer, "New paths will be arising and others receding," that has me wondering who might get lost or offed in the undergrowth. Moby for one, looks like he's about to be abused with a skirt steak.
We also get a glimpse of Terrence Howard dropping knowledge like, "Madness is its own freedom because it frees you from the world's understanding of you," as he hikes through the woods with a giant wizard staff. Other stars include Will Oldham,...

No one seems to know much about this film "In the Woods," sometimes referred to as "Itw Pathway" -- other than that in it, a bunch of people with varying degrees of fame trip out in the woods. Indeed the cast which includes Terrence Howard, Will Oldham, Rufus Wainwright, Alan Cumming, and Debra Winger were not told anything before they agreed to the project.
Jennifer Elster, a former fashion stylist turned writer-director brought in Yoko Ono and Rufus Wainwright to score the film so you know shits going to get weird. The message from the filmmakers so far is "Each person agreed to walk into the unknown. The journey will unfold over time. The messages will become clear to the informed viewer as an episodic film experience is unleashed. The delivery will be as unconventional as the experience itself."
The rest of the long, strange cast includes: Moby, Rosie Perez,...
