Filming will begin sooner (2007-09-27 16:34:03)


Dear Visitors

Many of you will ask when the Antarctic Expedition is going to happen.
Many months have been spent making further arrangements to assure that this expedition will be a success, not only in film and print but also financially.

This cinema movie & documentary will hopefully be a stepping stone to create a structure for many documentary producers worldwide to understand the concept of producing a cinema movie & a documentary without having financial failures as so often experienced. Please be assured that I personally have experienced such failures with some of my clients.

Training in Alaska (2007-06-17 16:07:15)


Finally I have some time to inform you about our training in Alaska.

Since our return from Alaska at the end of March I had to make several visits to Europe to meet with ALE and the underwriters. Therefore time just was not available to write an update. Unfortunately it was only possible for Brian, Linda, John and I to participate. Lucie, John, Gerlinde & Ralf had other commitments. All of them are experienced in trekking through the ice in the Antarctic. We will all catch up at a later training session.

This trip, trekking through the wilderness of Alaska was just fantastic. To be able to manage your daily routine and trekking in such a cold climate is definitely a challenge.
