The Crossing
In 2018, former paddle boarding coach Mike Shoreman was struck with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, a rare neurological condition affecting his speaking ability, balance and mobility. Mike fell into a depressive state but rose to the challenge of retraining his brain so he could paddle board again.
In 2021, Mike Shoreman sets off on a journey across Lake Ontario, raising awareness and resources for youth mental health organizations jack.org, the Trevor Project, and the Tyler Clementi Foundation.
Over $50,000 has been raised.
"During my journey I felt very alone... and I don't want kids to feel that way," Mike Shoreman.
Mike plans on crossing all The Great Lakes in 2022.

Monty Langford started his film career in Toronto, Ontario, in 2018. He started working as a post-production Coordinator, working on projects such as Star Wars, Spider-Man, Hobbs & Shaw, and Monster Hunter. Monty later transitioned into working on the sets of short films and music videos, cutting his teeth as a PA, and part of the G&E teams. Soon after, Monty realized his passion for writing and directing, and has been building a portfolio to show the world.
Monty’s favourite film genres are adventure, historical, fantasy, and science-fiction, while saving some time for a good comedy.
"I love telling stories, and I love the hustle on set. I hope to one day make something as epic as my favourites and cause someone to cry like I do every time a Phil Collins song comes on in Disney’s animated Tarzan, from 1999."
