ReelEarth Collection: The Fjord Swimmer

2018, 9 minutes, Overseas Adventure Travel Originals

We are very excited about this recent short film by Sebastian Ziegler.  A woman haunted by a childhood experience of near-drowning has a lifelong fear of swimming.  Later in life, she confronts her fears head-on, eventually falling in love with the feeling of being in the water.  She starts a swimming club to encourage more people to enter the waters of the Icelandic fjords.

ReelEarth is a collection of international independent films, 8 to 12 minutes in length.  Each is very character-focused, in which a main character has something at stake emotionally.  Each has a distinct element of surprise.  All films are post-produced at Compass Light Productions, who identifies and commissions a range of talented directors from around the world to present stories and guiding creative briefs.  Editor: Daniel Quintanilla.  Producer: Scott Sell.
