  • I can finally release the Short Film from the Topwater Film Festival! This was an epic adventure, Solo camping and filming for the festival in remote areas of the Great Barrier Reef... a trip where nothing went to plan. But as they say "It's when things go wrong that the real adventure begins"

    This. Is. Adventure. The surprise challenges, the way you persevere. But you don’t just push through with a negative attitude, you have a palpable desire to explore and a thirst for what comes next. You’re the kind of guy anyone would be lucky to accompany into the unknown and here you’ve taken us all with you. What a privilege. Seriously, mate, there are a ton of good channels out there doin stuff like this, but you definitely stand out. 🤙

    I voted for yours last year and I was sad you lost to the louder more traditional entries.Yours was the most interesting and captivating, with the most heart. I really love the story arc and how well you included us in your adventure. The other entries were well made sport tv style projects but they definitely were not in the same cinematic universe.

I can't imagine how you think this is a bad video and will have better content than this?!? this is some real shit, not saying I'm going to camp on a island overnight and other youtubers say wow guys we had to go back to the boat. nah, this is quality dude. seriously i loved this man. the slow introes in every seen, allowing us to feel the vibe for a minute. and get immersed in your reality. this is good content. please dude listen
