A conscientious dialogue surrounding men's physical and mental well-being. An adventure into the stories of men in the world today.
A few months ago we decided to bootstrap the beginnings of this project on our own, and now we're seeking support from the kickstarter community. We are all honored to be a part of this discussion. Please share this by clicking the like button, we want to increase our surface area as much as possible. We consider this a massive contribution and are extremely grateful for every person that takes the time to reach out on our behalf.
The GREAT WORK BOYS CLUB follows five men across the country as they begin a conscientious dialogue surrounding men's physical and mental well-being. We would like to continue to examine perspectives on masculinity with men and women from all walks of life, affected by the spectrum of human experience, with a focus on promoting openness, honesty, and vulnerability as the foundation of a capable man's relationship with himself and others. We hope to provide an alternative venue for examination of the self for men who do not feel accessed by such ideals as 60-day six pack abs, "toughing it out," and consumption as a means of measuring one's self-worth.
The GREAT WORK BOYS CLUB aims to take a glimpse into the spectrum of stories that comprise coming of age and masculinity, as told by anyone and everyone affected by the state of affairs of man in the world today.
We are currently travelling across the UNITED STATES, hosting interviews, adventuring into the unknown, exploring the territory of our forefathers, and reaching out to as many young men as possible in hopes of supporting a platform for brotherhood and good will.
We want to continue this conversation, and we need your help.
We hope to:
- Get our five man team out of a Honda CRV and into something more sensible, like a box van.
- Fuel our trusty steed as we push onward, zig zagging up and down the US filming.
- Continue to feed our videographers.
- Continue to feed our developer while he trickles our content onto our facebook so that you can keep up with the GREAT WORK BOYS CLUB as it happens, from the field.
- Stay outfitted properly to stay safe while we camp in the North American local wilderness.
- Outfit the team with microphones to improve the quality of our capture audio, we're currently using onboard sound.
GODSPEED, GWBC.

It's on! Please take a high adventure trip with the team. We will interface with you to push your limits in a way you may have never experienced before. Scout, our resident Eagle Scout, director, and survivalist will teach you core skills for staying safe and having fun in the unknown. On our weekend trip, we will discuss the nature of capability, and what it means to be enabled. We will use the film captured during this trip in our feature length and will release it on our website as well. We will help you get started on breaking in some gear of your own, and will leave you talk shop about every day carry and preparedness. Rock climbing, diving, sailing, skydiving, hot air ballooning, parasailing, or anything else we can conjure up together. Scout says all this translates to "good livin." We agree. Your credit will be upgraded to co-producer, as well as all the rewards mentioned above.
