Chasing the Taper - Documentary about bamboo rod making

#1

Post by janjensendavis »

Hi everyone,

My husband and I made a documentary film called Chasing the Taper, celebrating fly fishing and bamboo rod making. It has been in the works for 4 years, but we're premiering this month at the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival! We would love to fill the theater with documentary film buffs, but also kindred spirits from the fly fishing community! Many of the rod makers from our film will be at the screening as well!

It is going to screen on Sunday, February 24th at 1:00pm at the Wilma Theater in Missoula, MT. You can reserve tickets here:

If you want to know about future screenings in other areas around the country, you can follow us on social media as well:

Thanks and hope to see you in Montana!

I'd love to watch it in the cinema but I'm in Europe! :)

I'll wait for it to be a video-on-demand on Vimeo or similar.

In Germany they don't show it on the RISE festival because the movie is too long.

Congratulations! Glad to see it out there. We met in the Wulff Gallery when you were filming a few years ago. Hope there will be a Catskill screening in the future!

I hope you get accepted to Banff. We just saw the presentation last Wednesday. It was very good and very well received. There were many people at the State Theatre in Portland. Best, Jed

Is it possible to download mp4 or some other format? Our bandwidth is insufficient for streaming, but if I could download at office and then take thumb drive or DVD home, that would work.
