Marathon Swimming Movie: Wine Tasting & Fundraiser

evmo

As some of you know, I've recently been involved in the making of an independent documentary film about marathon swimming. For several months, the filmmakers have followed three swimmers - Cherie Edborg, 13-year old Fiona Goh, and me - as they've prepared for swims across the Santa Barbara Channel.

The filmmakers are financing the production themselves, and it ain't cheap. So, this Thursday evening, there will be a wine tasting & fundraiser at Laguna Canyon Winery in Laguna Beach, California. The filmmakers will give a brief talk, answer questions, and show some preview clips.

Please come! Event tickets ($35) can be purchased HERE. More information on the film is HERE. If you cannot attend or live too far away, please consider supporting the film in other ways. Donations can be made via the PayPal link at the bottom of this page.

Thanks!

That's great. I wish I could make it out there from Florida. I'll look to donate. Best of luck with the training!

Evan, will the film show in San Francisco?

Yeah! Is the film destined for DVD or online or will it be in theaters?

The filming is still ongoing, so it's a ways off from those sorts of questions. But I would hazard a guess that the Santa Barbara International Film Festival is a likely first destination. After that it depends how it is received, etc.

It seems that this would be a natural for the San Francisco Ocean Film Festival which is coincindentally accepting nominations for the 2013 festival right now.
