Escaping Time

"Escaping Time" is a documentary adventure film by Rhett Cutrell, starring Matthew Podobinski as he sets off on an adventure of a lifetime. Matt Podobinski is an international fishing guide and full time adventurer of planet Earth. His vagabond lifestyle leads him to Northeast India where he meets up with local fishing enthusiasts. Their passion for the sport takes them on a journey to the remote regions of Arunachal Pradesh, a restricted area of immensely diverse tribal cultures and untapped wilderness exploration.

Their mission: catch and release large specimens of India's most sought after sport fish... the mahseer. However, like in all adventures, the perfect trip is never the one you set out for. Ironically enough, the planet’s most overpopulated country and the birthplace of religion has been secretly nurturing a perfect region for adventure... and time has forgotten all about it.

"Escaping Time" is sure to capture the wanderlust in all of us and motivate even the most dedicated couch surfers to go as far into the wilderness as possible.
