After more than 30 years of paddling and over a decade of building cedar-strip canoes, Producer/Director Jason Eke had grown his canoe building Youtube channel into a 20,000 view per month success. Sharing his knowledge about paddling and canoe building through film was developing from a hobby into a deep interest in photography and film making.
“The Youtube channel was going great, and I was having a lot of fun making all kinds of paddling and canoe-related videos, but when I realized that my audience was growing I decided that I should set out and create a film that was really worth watching,” Jason says.
Pre-Order Canoe: Icon of the North now (we're an affiliate of the movie) for $8.99 and the movie will be released on November 1st, 2015.

Update - December 2nd, 2015: We've had a few readers ask about a DVD and from what I can tell, streaming was the initial focus so that it was ready for wide distribution and DVD will come at some point after.
