We did it! The Last Descent is finally finished.  The Last Descent premiered on January 10th at the Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival in Nevada City, CA.  We had two screenings throughout the weekend and the theaters were packed for both events, as a matter of fact there was a line out the door both days! 

The Wild and Scenic Film Festival, which is the largest environmental film festival in the country, was the perfect venue for us to premier the film because of all of the adventurers and environmentally conscious people in the audience.

Throughout the weekend we saw many amazing films that were inspirational, educational and entertaining and we were amazed when at the end of the weekend The Last Descent was honored with the People’s Choice Award.  Out of 180 films, The Last Descent was voted as the favorite film of the festival by the viewers.

We are so glad that The Last Descent was so well received, and how inspiring it is that so many people do care about our rivers. Although The Last Descent film is finished the mission still continues. All sales from The Last Descent will be donated to organizations that are working hard to protect our wonderful rivers. We are finishing up the last minute touches on the box cover, and we should have DVD’s ready for sale within a month. We will be screening it at several different locations in the next 6 months. Check the blog for an updated schedule. Right now, all three of us our back in college and when it rains we head to the river for some more of California’s classic runs.
