Camino Documentary

[ACL]

I wanted to take this moment to share with you all the news that we have finally released a small run of DVD's of our Camino movie.

Trying to pass along the essence of the camino to the world was a huge challenge.

We recently had John Brierley screen the film, and his words resonated with us and gave us great encouragement.

I found time and was transfixed. The formatting and photography is stunning and the film beautiful in its entirety. I have seen so many videos of the camino experiences (amateur and professional) but nearly all miss the essence of the journey. You have managed to capture something of the inner experience which is so difficult to achieve on the film. Congratulations and I wish you every success with this project. Looking for Infinity does indeed give a glimpse into the Mystery and deserves to be seen and appreciated by a wide audience.
Fantástico...

Can it be downloaded rather than waiting for a DVD to arrive?

Nice trailer. Although, I found the soundtrack a little forbidding.

Good luck with the project.

I quite like the soundtrack. It lets you know important stuff is coming.

Love what the Spanish man has to say, but unfortunatly I think this may be the Camino of 10 years ago, no longer today's where it's about taxis, red wine, etc. I also feel the initial drums give the impression of something dramtic, as does the lack of livht in the second peice, when the Camino is non cathartic, if not the complete opposite of being cathartic, and about simply putting a foot in front of the other to reach a particular point: Santiago. Wosh I cared about the Catholic reason to walk towards Santiago, as it mayout more spring in my step. 10 years too late in my opinion for this message.

Just bought it and watched it.

Interesting...........

I'll be keen to see how it is received.

Buen Camino!

This film looks stunning! I love everything the first young man says about the experience- the way the sun protects and illuminates, the metaphor for life and death, all of it. I will definitely purchase your documentary!

Sorry in advance for the long post.

I only walked once, last year (march-may). According to the statistics, in may there were only slightly more pilgrims this year, in april even less than in 2015. So, to be honest, I found all those posts of the last months which were about crowded conditions, pre-booking and Camino losing it's identity (to borrow a recent thread's title) a bit strange.

When I walked, yes, there were other people, no, it mostly wasn't "crowded" (always got a bed at the first place I went to, even though I was slow and never reserved, only staying in cheap albergues). And it surely wasn't all about taxis and red wine!

For me, personally, the Camino was one of the best things that ever happened to me. Life changing in a way I can't even write down here, because it's too personal.

Reading so many negative things about it, even here, of all places, makes me sad. The Camino might be different to what you "veterans" experienced ten or twenty years ago, but it can still be very important and even life changing to others. It's not necessarily "less" or "worse" than before just because it's changed in some ways. It might look different, the good things might be more difficult to find, maybe, I don't know (That part I found easy)? But it's definitely still there, all the good stuff.

Sometimes I think the down-talking by the "everything was better x years ago"- crowd might damage the Camino more than the tourigrinos. But I've only walked it once, very recently, so I might be wrong. If I am, does it mean it all wasn't real? Did I just imagine the Camino being that good? Did I expect so little that even the shallow, down-graded version seemed great to me? Who knows.


What I do know for sure is that I loved it, just the way it was, bus-pilgrims, scammers, tourigrinos included. And nothing will ever change that.


[To get back to topic, the documentary: Only watched the youtube clips so far, loved them, especially the clip about the pilgrims, where litttle of the way is shown, but the faces of pilgrims instead. That one says so much with so little! Looking forward to watch the complete film!]


Buen Camino

I completely agree with your sentiments.. although i struggled with the last 100k. The more people that are introduced to this fantastic and life-changing journey the better, even if it is just the final stretch.

For those of you that are interested in the Faces of The Pilgrims video, I've attached it below.

Thank you all so much for your support which will help me further the film by putting it into film festivals worldwide.
It has been submitted to around 25 so far.
