Here’s a rough cut of the Down the Neuse River short film. I shot all footage while paddling 200 miles down the Neuse River in 2009. This film will be screened at a Kinston and Oriental locations of the upcoming Neuse Riverkeeper Film Festival. We’ll be having a full screening at the Sweetwater Brewing Company in Raleigh later this spring as well. Make sure to sign up for updates to keep up with the latest news on all Source to Sea happenings!

Very nice John! I like the music too. I do have one little suggestion, if I may… could you include a map at the beginning of the movie in order to see the whole river through NC? It might help for those that aren’t that familiar with the river. Just an idea.
Thanks for the comment. Yeah, a map’s on the To-do list for the final cut. I want to do an animated graphic on a map showing just where the river flows though NC with a little voiceover bit near the beginning, and maybe a map in the corner during a few of the video clips showing my progress.
Take care,
-John
Looking forward to seeing the final version. Good footage.
Steve – glad you liked it. I’ll be putting the Neuse River DVD out later this summer with the final cut of the film and bonus features (gear reviews of what I used, overview of the Neuse River, etc)
