Director Statement

By the Tides is my newest film; shot exclusively on Kodak Super 8MM film on the Canon 814, a camera released in March of 1967.

Sailing is such an intrinsically romantic and timeless endeavor. I wanted to capture our journey in a shooting format that paid homage to this sentiment. The film is a documentary of our voyage but also a tonal meditation on the beauty: sublime, and mysterious, of open waters.
