Wow! Our new canoe is being built!!!




The thing I love about filmmaking is that no matter what the film is about there is always one task that must be surmounted where you find yourself figuring out how to do something you would never have done otherwise.

And this film is no exception. One of the biggest challenges and most wonderful parts of this film is that the secondary protagonist is a cedar strip canoe. Now this canoe must not only be beautiful, but it must go from being derelect and worn out to being restored all within 5 days of shooting. Or so it would seem... But AHA, you say, what if you had two canoes?!

And that is what we shall have. This is the secret reason that I wrote this film, to see this process unfold. I am in love with these canoes. And hopefully soon you will be too.
