_SAINT MISBEHAVIN': THE WAVY GRAVY MOVIE
_Directed by Michelle Esrick
Beginning with Woodstock ‘99, director Michelle Esrick has spent ten
years documenting the life of Wavy Gravy. Saint
Misbehavin’ journeys from the hills of California to the Himalayan
Mountains to reveal the life of this one of a kind servant to
humanity. The film blends Wavy’s own words with magical stories from
an extraordinary array of fellow travelers both cultural and
counter-cultural, revealing the man behind the clown’s grin and the
fool’s clothing.
In Saint Misbehavin’ Wavy is revealed more than the tie-dyed
entertainer and ice-cream flavor namesake that often defines him in
the popular imagination. Audiences will come to know the activist, the
optimist, and the healer who reaches beyond political, economic, and
cultural divisions in his commitment to social change and the
alleviation of human suffering.
Wavy’s life is his message, serving as deeply needed inspiration
that we can change the world and have fun doing it. Satirist Paul
Krasner describes Wavy as “The illegitimate son of Harpo Marx and
Mother Theresa, conceived one starry night on a spiritual whoopie
cushion,” to which Wavy has replied, “Some people tell me I’m a
saint, I tell them I’m Saint Misbehavin’.”
