Update #6: UPDATE ABOUT THE FILM
Hey everyone. Although funding through kickstarter was unsuccessful we are still working hard at getting everything together to get this film made. With some local grants and other funding sources and with all you great supports we are still hoping to share this amazing story with you all. We are currently taking donations as well through paypal for the film.
If you are interested in becoming a pledging member you can donate at www.crosstheatlanticfilm.com
Thank you ALL for the help and support you have shown so far!

Update #5: An article about the film!
So I was recently contacted by the senior editor from Sounding Magazine (a boating magazine), wanting to do an interview with me about the film. Of course I agreed and the final product was sent to me. Check it out, share and and please continue to support this project and get others to pledge.
THANKS!

This trip was done on a shoe string budget, without even extra money to buy the proper boat and gloves. Imagine how cold 6 days were without insulated dry boots, not to mention waterproof gloves. We had tons of video that I'm sure you'll find interesting, PLEASE HELP US SHOW IT TO YOU. The making of this film will also bring awareness to the WOUNDED HEROS THAT HELP TO PROTECT US. Bob Brown, one of the two brothers who traveled the 8,312 mile in the 76 days away from home.

Correction in the post by bob brown, that was "proper boots and gloves".

Yep, I noticed another error in my first post. That was also "76 days were without insulated dry boots, not to mention waterproof gloves."

Project By
Has not connected their Facebook account.
A film maker, creater, problem solver. I capture ideas, life, stories, dreams, and images. I create images that I hope people will enjoy. My goal is to move at least one person with each project I do.
A little more about me...
I have been a freelancer for the past 2 years in the film industry, working on feature films, commercials, documentaries, music videos, shooting lots of photogrpahy, and producing events. I like to bring people together and colaborate, create massive ideas from smaller ideas. I like to work with new people, meet new people, and explore other cultures. I want to understand other societies, other ways people live, survive, and enjoy life.
I want to do this all and capture special moments through moving images.
