Hey everyone! We're filming a documentary series focused on providing travel and adventure opportunities to formerly incarcerated young adults. Filming between July 22nd-Sept 30th. We will be taking/filming Anthony Dejesus on an adventure of a life time across the western United States (more specifics if you're interested).

We need to find local people along the way who can come help with filming and execution in different locations.

Here are the dates and locations where support would be most needed.
UT - Moab/Indian Creek: August 3-8
CA - Yosemite/Tuolumne: August 17-21
WY - Tetons: 9-13 September

Examples of support include:
-Someone to climbing with our Director help him get into positions for good shots. If you have a camera and some skills being a second camera would add value.
-Someone who knows the areas and can provide Beta and approach with us.
-Possibly a place to crash (though for the most part this wont be needed much. (camping and van are our focus).
-Drone operator. We have Anders Carlson but he may be unavailable at times.

Here are links to content produced thus far.

We were hoping to finance this trough Kickstarter. We raised $20K which is shy of our goal. Hitting our goal at this point seems like a long shot. We've done everything up to this point by being thrifty so we will do the rest the same way. This means rather than hiring people we're reach out to friends and our community seeing who would be stoked to help out.

Let me know if you're interested.

Thanks,
Jesse Spiegel

pretty cool guys.

I have a three axis gimbal (ronin) and a mark iii I could help with some Valley stuff when you're in town.

PM me when you get a chance.

Hello, my name is Evan. This seems like an awesome project! I'd really like to lend you guys a hand. I'm a Tahoe area climber and wouldn't have any trouble making it down to the valley. I have a little bit of camera experience, not a ton but can help with setting up and navigating the valley. Let me know if you guys still need a hand and good luck with your project!!!

FYI: drones are illegal in Yosemite/Tuolumne. Not sure about the other areas you list.

They are illegal (if flown without a permit) in *any* national park, so that would apply to most of the Tetons as well. $5K fine and up to 6 months in jail.

Very cool guys. This is a good thing.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
