North to the Future

If you have built your life & career around traveling with a camera, as many professionals have, then you know the constant struggle & pain of leaving behind the ones you love in order to experience something new. Even if just for a few days. 'North to the Future' is a short from my recent trip assignment to Alaska that gives an honest & intimate look at my texts, calls and emails home to my wife and two sons. I hope some can relate to this stripped down look at how I attempt to translate the beauty of what I see to my kids at home.

Hands down incredible Chris! Ive been feeling stagnant lately on creating and I think I finally just got the hugest spark of inspiration! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@SkullBoundTV]

Being a father and filmmaker I feel you. The sacrifice is for them! Now that my sons are grown they say to me " I want to be a great dad like you were to us." I know all the sacrifices were worth it. Bravo... what a great piece!

How should i built a life & career around traveling with a camera? Thanks

[@jergleason15]

I am from Southeast Alaska and it is truly wild/magical. Looking forward to you sharing this special place with your kids. Anytime is a good time to visit but try to go in July; whales are feeding, salmon are spawning, blueberries are ripe , and the fireweed is in blossom. Appreciate your work and can't wait to hear more about your Iceland tour adventure :)

[@RiazOozeer]
