It’s finally here. The long awaited completion of our documentary film Redfish Can’t Jump happened this past week. The date has been set for January 21st for a couple months now and we had been working hard to wrap up shooting and begin editing this film to make sure we hit this deadline. We had a pre-screening January 20th for close friends and the crew. I finally finished editing at about 1:30am January 20th (the night before the first screening). I got a few hours of sleep, woke up at 5:30 and began the 2 hour trek to Wilmington. We had a photo shoot at Wrightsville Beach that morning for the Lumina News Paper. We spent the rest of that day planning and setting up for the Premiere Night (21st).

We had a great turnout for the show. We estimated it to be 300+ people. In fact, there were so many people we had to offer a second screening. Jason Andre opened the show with four songs and really got everyone fired up. (Jason wrote several of the songs exclusively for the film and a few others songs of his were used from his new album). Also, a huge thanks goes to the other musicians/bands that allowed their music to be a part of our film; Josh Garrels, Giants, and Unlearn.
We’ve gotten some great responses from the film so far and our team really appreciates everyone’s support. The store on our website is up and running now so please go and pre-order your DVD or buy yourself some swag at: www.redfishcantjump.com
If you missed us in Wilmington we'll be offering two screenings in Charlotte, NC at the Fly Fishing Show this January 29th-30th. Friday's screening is at 3pm and Saturday's screening is at 2pm.

Good Morning Friends and Anglers,
This has been a long awaited premiere and an incredible journey as our crew has worked to capture the essence and the controversy surrounding North Carolina's State Fish. We've made a lot of new friends in the last three years of filming and traveling and met some incredible people who are more dedicated to this resource than you can imagine. I would like to thank all of you who supported us and were patient with us as we completed this project. I would also like to thank our sponsors and families and the recreational fishing public for this film would not be possible without your help.
