The Passage

[@wunkus]

This hits home. It's been too long since my brother and I did something epic. I need to call him and make plans.

[@daysedgeproductions166]

Thanks! so glad you liked it!

[@wunkus]

@@daysedgeproductions166 It was an incredible story, thank you for sharing and sharing it so well. Had to hold back the tears a few times.

Amazing documentary... I believe I met your father and uncle just south of Wrangell when my partner and I were kayaking. They gave me a drop line to fish with, that night I caught a rockfish for dinner. They really made an impression on us with their handmade canoe, the story of finishing their trip, and the smiles on their faces.

[@alandappenmd]

Wow I remember you guys. I bet your guys' trip was equally impressive and so glad that the jig I gave you was put to good use. So glad you saw the movie and may your adventures continue to be exciting. With the current pandemic Andy and I keep saying, maybe it's time to get back in the canoes and start paddling north.

You captured the essence of the inside passage of time.Your parents are beautiful people. Cherish them.They leave too soon.

A comment by your dad on a Richard Shindell video at the Shrewsbury Folk Festival brought me here. Great story. Great production. Great people !

[@daysedgeproductions166]

Thanks!

[@alandappenmd]

Andy and I sang every Shindell song we could remember on those long paddling days and towards the end of each day we'd sing about finding a place to rest and sleep at the " next Best Western," Sure wish we could have added some of Shindell's songs into the documentary. Thanks for looking us up and with the nod to the inspirations from Richard Shindell.

Bravo!!! Truly well made video. There are so many great transitions and incredible drone shots. The video really call to question of what is time and truly touches the human heart and soul with a hint of human mortality in the beauty of Mother Nature and vastness of time. The video reminds me of Robert Bly’s Iron John and Joseph Campbell’s the Hero’s Journey. I really hope in two years time to have the honor of follow the similar Passage. Thank you from the bottom of my heart soul for the inspiration.

[@luisguimaraes3186]

such a beautiful, touching, film, about so many things but above all that moment you and your brother summarise s well around minute 19: that moment when we go from young men to men and our parents go from people to old people. an amazing, beautifully produced and narrated story. I loved everyone I "met" in the movie. inspirational

[@amike75785]

Wonderful story and well presented! I'm 77 years old and ready to go try it myself. Thanks for posting!

[@blesspanda]

I learned your story in the Advanced magazine. It is really an inspiring story about adventure and family.

[@livelife4471]

Well done. Nice to see you all living life as it should be lived. Life is not about how long you live but how much life you live. This documentary illustrates this idea.

[@arthurmunha-lu1045]

[@jakebrown3647]

Came across this on amazon prime trying to find something meaningful to watch on a peaceful Sunday. Beautiful documentary! Thank you so much for sharing your inspiring and uplifting experience:)

[@sisaktamas]

55.000 views and 755 👍🏻?? That’s simply unfair, this film is beautiful and introspective. It has to be shared.

[@Timburgess1812]

Really lovely. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@daysedgeproductions166]

Thanks, Tim!

[@slackoon1]

What a great story!! The perfect answer to anyone questioning "Can I do it?" Truly inspirational

[@jonwilliams23]

An awesome story!

[@clarabrown9743]

Today I came across an old (well, 2018) news article about your trip. It's a great story and I find such adventure in it. Thank you for the film, I especially liked from 23:33 on, it is nicely put.

[@daysedgeproductions166]

Thank you Clara! I'm so glad the film resonated with you.

[@stephanieholbrook168]

Saw this tonight at Ocean Film Festival and LOVED it!! What a heartwarming story, beautifully shot and told. It made me very emotional and inspired. Well done. Truly.

[@daysedgeproductions166]

Thank you Stephanie! That means a lot.

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Wow, this is is gorgeous. The story is so effortlessly yet meaningfully told. Cinematography is gorgeous. I especially loved the beginning, it can be difficult to make video around a story that happened in the past when there’s no footage available - yet here it again felt effortless. And I cried at the part about your Dad’s physical strength. Great job, and well deserved accolades from BMFF!

[@thecranstons]

Wow wow wow, that was awesome. That right there is why I love videography. Telling stories like that, in a way that makes people feel emotionally invested. There’s so many stories to be told, they all deserve something as beautiful as this. I can tell your heart and soul went in to creating this, thank you for sharing.

[@lennycurtisxo]

Wow what a beautiful story & beautiful pictures & loved the '74 pics. Thank you so much for sharing this with the world. It's a video I will return to again & again

[@daysedgeproductions166]

Thanks Evan! So happy that it is touring with Banff and that you enjoyed it! Please share!

[@jiayou2361]

empowering and inspiring story 💙💙 greetings from 📍ISABEL LEYTE 🌴🇵🇭🌊

[@The_ZeroLine]

You’re very lucky to have had badass explorers for parents and extended family. Check out Mel and Ethel Ross’ adventures. They’re your parents spiritual’s predecessors. Awesome people with amazing, singular videographic of their expeditions to the Headless Valley and traveling the Pan American highway before it existed from the USA to Patagonia in the early ‘50s. It was like traveling back in time. They enter through countless villages where life had changed very little for a thousand years.

[@kengreen3079]

Beautifully done! Should be an entry in one of the indie film festivals, in particular one that features outdoor subjects---Whistler? Missoula? Hope you are planning to do that! Bravo!

[@kailaperez9142]

Inspiring, I plan to go back to WA now. 🤞🏽 Collabo.

[@Stefanshinobi]

Wonderful movie, we joyed every second of it. 😊 #annieostefan
