Fishing is paying attention to the small things, the smallest of the details. And these details are all connected to how we find the fish, how to go after them. I used to hate flat water—it was just the in between. I thought there was nothing there, but now I run the rapids to get to the flat water. It looks like nothing is happening, but it‘s busy—full of life and forms, speeds and depths...”

Fishing Between The Lines.jpg

When your life is the river, you tend to go deep. A moving reflection on what it means to be connected...to the water, to the fish, to one’s truest expression of self. Alex Obregon found his love of fly fishing by way of whitewater, and simultaneously deepened his understanding of all the spaces—and species—that a river holds.

This short brings the viewer DEEP into the experience of fly fishing and its effect with beautiful and unexpected imagery. Themes of connection, environmental stewardship and global citizenship will be addressed by way of Alex’s stories and experiences—highlighting the importance of each on a personal and universal level. The overall message being that fishing—and life—is less about the catch and more about the moment.
