FREE OCEAN FILMS (and dogs)
You read that right.
Nineteen films about the ocean - some short, some feature length - from around the globe. Once you create an account with Adventure Reel TV you can access free content and also rent some films for a minimal fee.
While it’s tough to get a film into cinema, streaming services have opened up countless opportunities for independent film makers, however it’s a little more rare to find sites that aggregate by themes other than ‘comedy’, ‘family drama’, ‘thriller’.
Adventure Reels TV - it’s all in the name - a platform that collects stories about Adventures, Water, Boats and Dogs - the perfect combination in our book. Check them out and we’d love to hear your review of any or all. Watch and let us know what you think in the comments below.
THE FOX OF BLOODY WOMAN ISLAND
How does one find happiness throughout a winter when the sun barely makes an appearance?
This source of curiosity took us to Nordland - a mystical Viking land of changing light, deep fjords and mountainous archipelagos. We arrived in the small town of Kjerringøy, where had we heard there was a man who built traditional boats. His name was Ulf, his house had the red trim around it, and he’ll meet us at the end of the drive in the freezing rain. This was all we knew. Could this mans belief in his work and connection to his environment be the root of his happiness? Shot entirely during the twilight hours of Norway’s northern Arctic, this is his story.
The vessel is Infinity, a 120-foot hand-built sailboat, crewed by a band of miscreants.The journey, a 13,000 km Pacific crossing from New Zealand to Patagonia, with a stop in Antarctica. Unlike all the other boats heading to the Southern Ocean, Infinity is no ice-reinforced super-yacht crewed by professional sailors; rather, Infinity lives in the moment and sails on a whim. What can be found in abundance on board is blood, sweat, enthusiasm, risk tolerance, disdain for authority, and an ample supply of alcohol – all in all a mad voyage of reckless adventure just for the sheer joy of it.
