2018 Paddling Film Festival’s Best Short Film Award

Charging Arc, 2018 Paddling Film Festival, Best Short Film Award, Gabe DeWitt, Jim Snyder

Just found out that Charging Arc won the 2018 Paddling Film Festival’s Best Short Film Award! It’ll travel with this year’s World Tour, screening at up to 120 locations across the globe.
It’ll be in Pittsburgh in March!

I made this video as a just for fun summer project…not ever thinking it would be anything more than something to share with friends. But, thanks to the connections made by just putting it out there, into the internet of things, this short film and the photos surrounding it have gained quite a bit of attention.

Thank you everyone, for all your support!
