Best Documentary + Best of Show – The National Paddling Film Festival (2008)
In 2005 I began work on my first movie. I begged some money from my parents and grandparents, bought a 3-chip video camera, and began pursuing my dream to make a documentary about the class-V kayak race known as the Green Race. The road that followed helped me become a better filmmaker and boater, it led me to a rich community of people who shared my love for rivers, and it gave me quite a few hard knocks as I tried to keep my paddling skills up to speed with the production schedule. After two years of filming and production (and after meeting Spencer Cooke, who would become one of my best friends as well as co-producer on the project), we released The Green Race Movie in the fall of 2007. It went on to win the two biggest paddling film festivals that year, and to this day it remains a popular film among paddlers and a staple for the local community of boaters who love to scare themselves on the Green every November. Here’s the blurb:
And here is the original trailer for the movie:
