Hey Paul. Thank you so much for your comment. It is stunning to hear your story. We felt very warm on the island. Probably your good spirit is still there. I remember that we even showed this film before we went back. It was a public screening on the beach and there were tourists and locals alike attending. We even got invited to play for the Basketball Team of our Diveshop. I particularly remember that a girl who was working in a restaurant came up to us apologising that they do not remove the leaves from the beaches ... just because in our longer 'Making OF' we mentioned that the Island has an authentic charm ... that we like that the beaches are wild. Ya, good memories indeed ... hence not as grounded as yours for sure. Anyways thank you a lot. You know this is exactly why we love making those films. Those films are little inspirational time capsules ... they wander out into the digital universe and if the hit the right person, they create positive connections between humans amongst each other and also with the natural world. I especially appreciate it a lot that you shared your story. Wer live on an amazing planet. Cheers, Flo ... Ah almost forgot: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hd2Jf9SntL3co4U.html

@@BehindtheMask Hey Flo. Beautiful words indeed. I actually discovered the making of the video first. It was a great way to consume it as the characters and the behind the scenes considerations were already explained and the scene was truly set; as the movie began I was back there in the early morning on the boat with Edgar and Bebot! (Great music and narration by the way). And the 'story' and success of Lanch is so cool - goosebump stuff! We never met, but just watching her humbleness and joy of what you did with content was truly inspiring, and my deepest respect to her for being a dive-leader, I know the work (any joy) involved. We too played Basketball in the evenings at the school before a gin-juice nightcap - such happy, easy, fun times - such beautiful and caring people. I love the story about beach tidiness, so true of them - we too were charmed by the authenticity of everyone; that said, our little beach front was 'swept' often :-) One other thing that was said in the video, and was also my experience of the Threshers, they are indeed proud, and confident, and tease with grace. That said, I do remember them telling me they'd had enough from time to time (fin position - my inner sense and 50+ meet ups; we knew each other!). But mostly they are just curious. As we are of them. And yes to our amazing planet, and yes to positive connections. Keep making amazing films and if you're ever in and around Augsburg, the first beer is on me!

That is what we try to do! Thank you so much!

thanks again...

Thanks Tim. we love to hear that. Please let us know if you see something that you don't like as well!
