Q&A with Who Owns Water directors David Hanson, Michael Hanson & Andrew Kornylak!They say whiskey is for drinking, water is for fighting, but we would respectfully add that water is also for playing.

Crossing Boundaries Shorts
on
October 28, 2014
Q&A with Duke and the Buffalo director Alfredo Alcantara and subject & executive producer Duke Phillips, Mending the Line director Steve Engman and subjects Frank & Jeanne Moore, and 14.c subjects Kai & Connie Lightner!Whether a boundary is real or imagined, crossing over is usually left to mavericks, visionaries, and the exceptionally brave. The lead characters in these three documentaries all cross different kinds of boundaries. In 14.c, a young black athlete excels in a sport that normally has little diversity: climbing. Duke from Duke and the Buffalo is a rancher who has made an alliance with a large conservation group. Frank Moore envisioned returning to fly-fish in France 60 years after landing on the beaches of Normandy, and his dream became a reality in Mending the Line.
