I plan to create a professional 15-20 minute documentary film about the ARROWHEAD 135 in Northern Minnesota. It is a 135-mile long human-powered Ultra Marathon, taking place every January in the coldest part of winter in the coldest city in the lower 48 states. The race course is from International Falls to Tower, MN. The 15th annual ARROWHEAD 135 will be Jan 28th to 30th, 2019. I will follow and portrait 3-4 runners, interview them and show their ups and downs in the days before the race, during the race and after the race. The measurable outcome will be to have a fully-finished 20-minute film by July 13, 2019. I will then in August 2019 start submitting the finished film to outdoor/adventure film festivals around the world. The way how I will measure a successful project outcome is to have a completed film available for audiences by July 13, 2019. The projected timeline is to complete filming by the end of the race, on January 30th, 2019. The editing, color grading and sound mix would be completed by July 13, 2019. I will have achieved my goals if by July 13, 2019 the 15-20 minute film is finished and ready to be submitted to adventure/outdoor film festivals.
My film was shown to 50 viewers at a screening in Minneapolis, I hired 1 editor, and had a film crew of 3 cameraman with 2 assistants.
