In Paul Brandt’s filming debut, he joins friend Paul Norris and legendary fly-fishing guide, Naoto Aoki, on a journey that is both a look into his consuming passion for fly fishing and an ode to his hometown of Calgary, which he dubs as the World’s Largest Fly Fishing Lodge.

This is a film about practical fishing with dry flies. We are together with Morten Oland, who travels to a number of exciting fishing waters in Denmark, Greenland, Germany, New Zealand, Lapland, Sweden.  We follow him closely when he takes the insects to be imitated, and we are there when Morten choose the right fly in each fishing situation.  With underwater cameras, we go beneath the surface and see birds, fish and insects from new angles.  It has taken several years to complete the filming of this movie. It is both instructive, inspiring and beautifully filmed with lots of fish delight, fish action, and many beautiful catches.

This is a movie in the series The Fish &amp; The Fly . In these films , we go deep into the details of each fishing situation , as a fly fisherman meetings. We have traveled to various fantastic fishing waters in order to find the best ways to show fly fishing with nymph.  In the film, together with Morten Oeland that shows how he fishes in the many different fishing situations we experience. We see the natural nymphs on quite closely, and Morten shows practically fly fishing with his best imitation of these nymphs.  As in the other films , we have located underwater cameras in the fishing areas while we fish , and we get new insight into the movements of the fish when we thus come under the surface.

This is dry fly fishing at its best.  Terrestrials are land insects - grasshoppers, beetles, crane flies etc. Many of these insect imitations must simply have in his fly box, and Morten Oeland shows why.  We are there when he fishes his terrestrial imitation of a variety of great fishing trips in Denmark, Greenland, Germany, New Zealand, Lapland, Sweden.  We see when he chooses the fly, and we see how he chooses tactics and fishing techniques for each situation. It is a film filled with valuable facts and information about this special dry fly fishing.  Morten is also a highly skilled and experienced fly tying. In the second film on the DVD, it is about tying the terrestrial imitations he uses. He shows step by step its very simple and innovative binding techniques that are unique to each fly.

We are back with Morten Oeland on fishing trips in completely different environments. We fish in cold rivers, high altitude mountain lakes and salt water from the open coast.  It's about both streamers and surface flies. We see what food items streamers imitate, and we see the different techniques Morten uses when he fishes flies.  With underwater cameras, we see incredible footage of trout that hug the streamer, and we see the fish reactions to our flies - up close - underwater.  He's known for his innovative fly tying techniques that are both simple and effective. In tying the film, he shows exactly how he ties streamers and surface flies. Most flies are his own effective patterns.

This pioneering documentary film depicts the lives of the indigenous Inuit people of Canada's northern Quebec region. Although the production contains some fictional elements, it vividly shows how its resourceful subjects survive in such a harsh climate, revealing how they construct their igloo homes and find food by hunting and fishing. The film also captures the beautiful, if unforgiving, frozen landscape of the Great White North, far removed from conventional civilization.

Tuna are among the top predators in the oceans. But the hunter is also the hunted: many species are overfished. Can we use the riches of the oceans without destroying them?

One man, one camera, one goal...to capture the essence of adventure. An experimental, often abstract new type of filmmaking process creating color rich visuals combined with a lush soundtrack that grounds the project. A unique cinematic experience.
