Sea Change Voyage
SAILING VOYAGE
A sailor’s narrative of a voyage to the end of the planet. To the south of the south, to Antarctica. Putting the pieces of life’s intricate puzzle in place along their five year search, these two men naturally discover the thread that ties us all together. Scott and Brandon both made a similar promise to their elders when they were children, that one day, they would go on a quest to see for themselves. Leave all that was familiar, and make their own judgement of culture, philosophy and the nature of man. To stand in Earth’s most powerful landscapes and feel the essence of life first hand. These two young adventurers show you the world through eyes wide open. Their lens gives new insight to the cultures of this globes ever changing state of being, especially in this time of great division among all nations. Discovering along their way, the cost of life’s richest moments can only be paid with their relentless will to see further. This richness and the fading memories of the journey are all they’re left with. Inspiring anyone watching to embark on a quest of their own. This is a human study that reveals the connective tissue between worlds apart. The crew finds their freedom through exploration and comes to terms with the torment of failures and close shaves while on this voyage. To dive deeper into what this series is, think Anthony Bourdain meets The Endless Summer. A true cultural adventure, break-out-of-your-shell, slow burn journey.
