First up are:
Dan's Pain 2:
Filmmaker: Ben Meadows
Run Time: 12:00 minutes
Everyone loves Dan. He’s hard working. Family-focused. But.. like we
saw in his first F3T Film – Dan can’t catch a break… or a fish. Prepare
yourself for his most ambitious plan ever. He’ll flip the script on his
cursed ways and go for the hardest fish in fly fishing to hook. He’s
made 10,000 casts in futility already… what are 10,000 more? Good thing
the musky legend, Blane Chocklett is stepping into the boat. Finally.
Dan has a chance.
And:
The Hard Way:
Filmmaker: RA Beattie
Run Time: 15:30 minutes
This film is a celebration of the Deschutes River’s raw beauty,
relentless challenges, and the deep connections formed between its
waters and the people who depend on it. Featuring the remarkable story
of guide and river steward Matt Mendes, this is a story about
resilience, tradition, and the reward of doing things the hard way.
