In 2008, adventurer Dave Clarke set out to row from the Canary Islands to row the Atlantic Ocean single-handed. If successful he would become the first person to have both sailed and owed the North Atlantic Ocean solo.
This is his story of battling furious weather, suicidal fish and the struggle of being on his own in the middle of the ocean for three months.

65daysofstatic: TOUR NICE KIDS
PRODUCER, DIRECTOR, EDITOR
This documentary was shot on one of the band’s first UK tours and it really shows how very far they have come since those first early days. Considering it was shot on a miniDV camera and cut on an incredibly old and slow MacBook, it holds up remarkably well.
