Just about everybody at one point or another has had either the dream or the passing notion of getting on a boat sailing into the sunset. So why not follow an ordinary middle aged guy who finally goes and lives the dream. After thirty-five years in the ad biz – and some thirty years of marriage, three kids then three grand-kids – Sailor Alex is born, and he’s going to live his dream of sailing into the sunset and take viewers with him on his journey. From making the decision, finding a boat, owning it, learning to sail and living on it. And finally discovering the world on a 40 foot sailboat.
A Living Adventure Series is how I define a video series following someone’s real life experiences. Contrary to reality TV, which has cameras following people continuously, here the camera will be in the hands of the main character, as well as the storytelling and editing. When viewers tune in to the series, they will be going into that character’s life for a short moment. I also call this a Selfie Documentary.
This is what makes film making really exciting today. Because now every day people can create content that is fresh, uninhibited and free of commercial constraints. People who do it from their heart and guts and just put it out there for everyone to see.
