BACKCOUNTRY - SOUTH ISLAND
Gin-Clear Media
Gin-Clear Media's Backcountry – South Island is the sequel film to the highly acclaimed Backcountry – North Island, we once again explore the stunning fishing opportunities in the New Zealand backcountry. The South Island has vast tracts of some of the most intact, undisturbed natural areas left on our planet—these last truly wild places deliver beauty and isolation in spades but it is the allure of giant trout in crystal clear water that draws the anglers from around the globe to these treasured landscapes.

The film explores a number of backcountry fisheries with anglers who exude a profound connection to the wilderness. The cast of the film is as extensive and varied as the landscapes explored. In the end it is dedicated, inspired people will ensure that the spirit of the backcountry will thrive, preserving a world that we are proud to hand over to those who come after us.

Starring - Mike Kirkpatrick, Jake Berry, Jack Kos, Rene Vaz, Nick Reygaert, Andrew Harding, Jacob Freeman and Paul Procter.

GEOFISH VOLUME 1 MEXICO, THE EXPEDITION BEGINS
The plan is simple: bridge the language gap, convince the Federales that you’re not trying to smuggle cooking oil into the country to corner the market on cheap fish tacos and at the same time, spend little money, sponge off the local delicacies and see if you can kill stomach cramps with a combination of tequila and lack of sleep. Trying their best to avoid break-ins, break-downs, break-ups and broken rods, join four fish bums as they cover 8,000 miles of Mexican dirt in hopes of finding out-of-the-way locations—with fish, and escaping with captured memories. 102 min.

"Join us on a crazy flyfishing adventure as Andre' Brun and his photographers go to Jurassic Lake (aka Lago Strobel) – maybe the best place in the world for monster sized trout.

In the first film ever from Jurassic Lake, they discover a unique place in many ways. First of all, we’ve got the lake itself with its cruising rainbow trout by the river mouth, island, and bays, where the large fish will smash your fly as you’ve never felt before! And an hour walk up stream you’ll also find another secret paradise were 10 lb+ trout rise to dry flies in gin clear water.

It is hidden high up in the Patagonian mountains on the border to Chile, a paradise for a flyfisher."
