---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 2 Mar 2011 23:45:57 From: Daniel Byers <daniel.a.byers@gmail.com> To: daniel.a.byers@gmial.com Subject: Rio Platano Biosphere Expedition Dear Friends, I'm writing one of those every-so-often emails to let you know about the latest project/adventure in my life. As always, if you'd prefer not to receive these, I'll happily remove you and bear no lasting grudges. As some of you may know, I just returned from a 3-week expedition to Honduras, trekking and whitewater rafting through the Rio Platano Biosphere Reserve to shoot a film about the Invasion of this National Park and World Heritage Site by guns, drugs, and cattle. It's been a tough haul and I'm nursing a few wounds, but it was also spectacular, beautiful, and terribly moving. The video is in progress, but you can read all about the expedition in the meantime on my blog: skyshipfilms.com/blog I continue to work on the Glacial Lake Outburst project, and will hopefully be shooting in Peru sometime soon to continue that story. Updates will live on the website, www.outburstfilm.com. And it looks like my next gig may take me to yet another frontier - filming Whale Sharks off the coast of Belize. I'll keep you updated with big developments, but not too often - check the blog if you're curious about the gorey and grimey details, or shoot me an email. I'd love to hear from you. To Adventure!
