From the Director, Phillip Baribeau - About the Film
I met Eduardo and Jen five years ago when I worked with them on a trailer for their TV show called Active Ingredient. I could see right away that Eduardo had a huge passion for life, cooking and the outdoors. I shared his belief in living a healthy lifestyle and knew I had made a lifelong friend with whom I could explore Montana’s wilderness. The show was just about to sell when we got the bad news of Eduardo’s injury. During his time in the hospital, Jen took it upon herself to film his recovery with the idea to someday make a documentary. When Eduardo made it back to Montana, I started to follow him with my camera as he went through chemotherapy and began his journey to get back into his life through fly-fishing, hiking, hunting and cooking. It was incredible to see him tackle all of his obstacles while keeping a positive attitude. Eduardo is reaching the stage in his life where he wants to give back, say thanks and use his tragedy to help others. I want to be there to film this journey and to see the effect he will have on everyone around him. His story is something worth sharing and will make a difference in people’s lives no matter what kind of struggles they are having.
