I am BEYOND thrilled to announce that our labor of love, the documentary feature film The Other Shore, will have its World Premiere at SXSW film festival this 2013.

Less than 2% of all films submitted get into this prestigious {and RAD} film festival. So you can imagine our elation.
We’re kicking off the good news with the launch of the official movie FB page and Twitter profile. Come “LIKE” and Follow us for a behind the scenes look at the film team PLUS interactions with Diana AND production stills with updates on upcoming screenings rolling out this year! We’re just getting started so hop in and know there’s loads to come.
Had it not been for the tireless storytelling of Director, Timothy Wheeler, the phenomenal work of our Producers Kevin Abrams and Patrick Weir of Ketchum Labs, alongside Bristol Baughan and Erin Heidenreich of Uprise, the genius editing of Eric Meyerson, Sam Citron and Claire Didier, the gorgeous compositions by Paul Brill, and the courageous spirit of Diana Nyad’s epic journey — this film would not have been possible. There are countless people to thank. But for now, just trust me when I say that this team has every right to celebrate. As for me, I’m hugely grateful to have been a small part of this big story, photographing and co-producing this compelling examination of the human will.
Until we see you at SXSW, throw us a high five over here …
