Ketut Arsana - Ketut: The Spirit of my Grandfather
As the last surviving boy in his family during a time of severe suffering and black magic, Ketut is the only one who can carry on the ancient lineage of Balian (Shamanism) from his grandfather. But he is dying…
His grandfather asks the gods to take his own life as a sacrifice and spare Ketut, but this will leave no one to teach his grandson the ways of his ancestors.
This is the curious story of how Ketut 'learnt to die'.
Story listener & teller.
My work ranges from big budget commercials with top-tier production houses like Stink and Furlined, to intimate portraits of unknown heroes in remote settings.
I’ve climbed a mountain with Jimmy Chin, sat in a freezer with Wim Hof, and explored the ocean with Alexey Molchanov.
I've lived with an indigenous female climbing crew in Bolivia, a shaman in Indonesia, a survivalist in the Turkish desert, and a child soldier in Africa.
I work mostly out of LA and Europe, and travel everywhere.
