Behind the Scenes JQwest Pics

Finally got to share a few beers with the film crew Jerred and Neil. A moment I've been looking forward to since I watched them walk away after capturing the final shot. We finally got to discuss and watch our rough cut of the jamqwest video together as well as figure out how I'm going to make the soundtrack. Cant wait to see the final version and share it but for now just got some sweet behind the scenes pics.

Sent First Ascent of Monkey Face with a Drumset

So the time came, kickstarter campaign ended today with less than sufficient funding. But luckily here at Bangerang Productions and Cascadium Pictures we don't let petty fundings stand in the way of our dreams. We rangled ourselves an amazing crew of people and all of the proper equipment and with a twinkle of hope in our eyes we crossed rivers, struggled through dusty deserts, up mountains and through deep valleys and managed to ascend the infamous Monkey Face with a full drum set and a  video camera. We made this thing happen on a budget of pebbles and a belief that we could do anything. And now I sit here, safe and sound back in southern Oregon typing about the most incredible jam of my life. We survived three full days and a night on the majestic monkey and even braved a thunderstorm from the top of the 400 foot spire. It was everything I had hoped for and more and now i bring to you pictures of this life changing journey. Heroic cameramen Jerred North and Neil Karstetter with tell this epic tale through the eyes of the camera and I look forward to bringing this footage to those who dared to believe in JamQwest.
