We are honored to be working on such an inspiring project with such amazing people. They found us shortly before the trip and reached out, we happily jumped on board. We knew it was going to be the most intense and demanding production we've ever filmed. We had just two people (and our two dogs) to cover a two-and-a-half-week operation that ran 24/7. That stretched our filmmaking, and logistical abilities a lot and it was a really fun creative challenge to take on. Keeping batteries charged, backing up footage in the middle of the Mississippi River, always trying to be in the right place at the right time even when we didn't know what was happening next, editing a trailer on the Falcon at 3 a.m., just trying not to break any equipment, these are just a few of the challenges we faced. We were constantly in motion, problem-solving, or planning for the next big event that we had to capture. We slept whenever we could find a couple of hours (or a couple minutes) of lower activity. We probably averaged 4 hours of sleep in any given 24-hour cycle, but there never was a normal circadian rhythm to our sleep schedule. No two days or even hours were the same, it was incredibly physically and mentally demanding but it was also a blast. We'll remember this as one of the most exciting shoots in our career. We came onto the crew as strangers and we left having a new river family.
