I went to a
film festival recently. (Put on by American Rivers, and Greater Yellowstone
Coalition). And, wow. I won’t be throwing animals into this, because they can’t
match up. (So, no holy cows).
Out of the
thirty some films submitted, six were selected (100 minutes) to travel around
and leave people slack jawed in awe. I was one of those tonight. And, wow.
Some of the
films were trying to get people's attention to rising threats to rivers and
their ecosystems. But, all of them left a feeling of thrilling adventure and
wanderlust within me. I’ve strengthened my resolve for adventure and relaying
my adventures through word and picture. With luck I’ll have many more stories
to share.
I want to
give you a chance to experience some of the films that riveted me to my seat
for nearly two hours. (These films are not in the order that I saw them).
Presented by
Chaco and REI. Produced by Gnarly Bay and a Forest
Woodward and a Brendan Leonard Collaboration. Time Travelers is a story of 1 boat, 8 men, 277 miles, and a
record to beat.
A Story of a
veteran who made peace with his demons by rafting through Desolation Canyon.
Were you
kept in your seat?
There were others too. But, sadly I cannot find any links to the videos. I really with I could.
Talk to you
later,
