Here at Superior Dream, we're feeling a bit of rejuvenation. Again.
When at times this project feels lifeless, a pulse suddenly surfaces and our eyes light up and we feel like we can see it being completed. Now, granted, we still have some work to do. Our team has a slightly new roster but the goal and passion remains the same.
Within 2 weeks our NYC editor will have a full time focus on the film, working from our existing string out. With the ever important help of our Executive Producer, JJ, we now anticipate June 1 as a date in time where we'll be able to proudly present you with a documentary of our trip. And present it we will!
On the non-editing side of things, we'll try to be more in touch via the blog, our website and Facebook. We know it's been almost 3 years. Trust us, we know. So we realize we might need to drum up a little more fresh excitement and energy. We couldn't be more excited to see this challenging side of the entire project come to fruition. And we hope you'll still join us in this excitement. As always, thanks for your support over the past years. Let's bring this thing home!

A much needed update:
We have shipped our footage to New York. Yup. that's right. Our paddles are once again in the water and hopefully the film will begin to move forward once again. We want to thank Katie Swanson for her wonderful time and efforts she put into Superior Dreams and the amazing job she's done getting the project to where it is. It's incredible to think she pulled it off at the same time as she was finishing her degree, and trying to get her life set up in L.A. Thanks for everything, Katie.
Our new editor is excited about what he's seen so far and we are excited to have him on board. Barring any other unforeseen rocks, or shoals the rumor is late Spring ladies and gents.
Thanks for sticking with us. We appreciate all your support and interest!!!

80-35 hrs
We've hit a major benchmark in post production! Trimmed the fat, so to speak, from 80 hours of raw film to 35 hours of workable clay. From there we mold, rearrange, and glue with spit the film down to a 2-3 hour chunk of goodness. The the real fun starts.
Right now Luke and I are putting together a timeline to help the editors out with organization when they merge our two separate pieces together. (Luke's camera and my own.)
Here's to steps forward!

Still Chuggin' forward
Hey all,
So some of you might have noticed we are having a bit of website difficulty. Luke is working on fixing that and I am still waiting on a couple of addresses to mail out your goodie bags. The water color paintings have been sent out, or hand delivered. Currently the rest of the prints are at the shop, well, getting printed.
We hope to get all this stuff out to you all soon!
I know Luke and I are a bit frustrated with how long this part of our project has taken. We thank you for your patience. Katie and Josh are working diligently on the film and we hope to have it soon.
Hope this finds you all well, and enjoy what's left of the summer!

Happy Birthday Eeyore.
When I woke up this morning, I woke up in Austin, TX on The Shady Rest Band's couch. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and remembered that today is Eeyore's birthday, searched for my keys, wallet, and cell phone among the empty PBR Silos and other shenanigans on the coffee table and tried to replay the night.
It wasn't a blackout. I had only had one avocado margarita, and two beers. Ok, three beers. Hardly enough to explain waking up randomly throughout the night to scenes like one of the band members, wrestling with someone else on the living room floor, crashing over furniture and spilling beer. (Poor defenseless beer.) Or drunk guy with mullet (not band member) rocking out on the acoustic guitar three feet from my head.
I was the guy on the couch. Road weary and dog tired. I think I vaguely remember having the thought: Just 20 minutes and I'll rally. An hour later, after opening one eye to see who had the upper hand in the wrestling match, I decided I wasn't going to be able to play catch-up to get to these guys' level and simply rolled over.
Why Austin, TX you might be wondering. I am about to go on a week long stand up paddleboarding and deep water soloing trip with our SD guitarist, Dave Costello, and another friend. So far, this being my first time to Texas, I have to say things are done right down here.
Just dropping a line to let everyone know that the dominoes are being set up so that when our student editors have time we'll bang out the documentary.
We have music being recorded, in partnership between, Dave Costello and Chris Beaty at Sonic Bloom. Those two are extremely talented people and we are looking forward to hearing what they come up with. Chris has been involved with the last two Dudes On Media films, Paddle to Seattle, and Go Ganges.
Slowly, but I assure you surely thing are moving forward.
To celebrate Eeyore's birthday--even if I was the only one in the house that was celebrating it-- Ben the banjo player and Jaz the guitar player invited me out to breakfast at a small mexican place. By way of a gas station for a road beer.
The restaurant being only a quarter mile away meant that we had to drive around the block a few times to finish the beer. When in Rome... The heavy metal music exploding from Jaz's car speakers, the morning beer, the cheap mexican food, all for you Eeyore. Happy birthday.

Reaching the Goal
It's hard to put into words the amount of gratitude and appreciation Luke and I feel for all the support. With ten days left on our Kickstarter project we have reached our goal!
Luke and I are learning a lot.
It is safe to say this part of our Superior Dream adventure--like certain times on the Lake herself-- almost seems too big to accomplish. Thankfully we have assembled a professional team of people who provide the answers to the questions we have, as well as a community who selflessly give emotional and financial support.

By following this blog, donating your own hard earned cash, visiting the website, and simply asking how the film is coming along on the street, you give your support.
We are currently setting up some intense work weekends where we plan to lock ourselves in an editing suite and begin the knitty-gritty parts of getting this film to print. All involved are excited and ready to see some forward movement on this project. Now that we have some of that financial grease things should move steadily forward.
Keep an eye out for more SD clips and other foolishness coming soon!

We made it half way to our Kickstarter goal!!!!
Now is the perfect time to pre-order a DVD, or pick up a few SD stickers to plaster on your bumper, water bottle, or around your neighborhood.
The money raised is going towards stellar music by Dave Costello and Chris Beaty of SonicBloom, as well as, getting DVD's pressed and showing our editors how much we appreciate their hard work.
If we don't reach our goal we get NOTHING! So please donate whatever you can spare, as of 1-19 we have 21 days left!
