{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Urban Lines selected for 2013 Fly Fishing Film Tour!

Wow, this is phenomenal!! I CAN'T wait to view the film in its full length. The DC Fly Fishing in Schools program has been working hard to encourage students to go fishing in DC, I think this film will be a really great conversational piece and a stepping stone. The students and interns have been working on an instructional video to be released in February. Keep you posted.

TPFR friends and family,

We are pleased to announce the selection of Urban Lines, a short film about our local fishing scene on he tidal Potomac, has been selected for the 2013 Fly Fishing Film tour! Some of you may recognize your own faces from beer ties, casting clinics and submitted grip-n-grins. Thank you for all this direct support of the film. More importantly, thank you for this amazing community that inspired this whole film to begin with.

Film-makers for Urban Lines are: Jereme Thaxton (www.freestoneentertainment.com) and Nick & Kami Swingle (www.twofistedheartproductions.com). Cast of characters are our very own, Potomac born and bred (well mostly): Rob Snowhite, Trent Jones, John Bilotta, and Dan Davala.

Below is the synopsis and trailer for the film. See you at the cinema-n-drafthouse on March 28 for the film tour, if we don't see you out on the water first.

Check out the trailer at: https://vimeo.com/57194663
Here's a synopsis of the film: TwoFisted Heart Productions is partnering with Freestone Entertainment to create a film on the tidal Potomac River that counters common stigmas and stereotypes of fly fishing. Four fly fishermen in Washington, D.C. demonstrate that fly fishing is more than an individual pursuit of the catch, more than once-a-year or once-in-a-lifetime trips out West or to exotic locations abroad.  In an unlikely setting of concrete vistas, population density and traffic nightmares, the Potomac River proves that adventure and epic fishing are available to everyone on a daily basis. D.C. fly fishermen have embraced that concept through an online community that provides a 21st century, Web 2.0 take on passionately protecting our water resources for the future and connecting with the people around us. It's about thinking globally and fishing locally. Otherwise, it's just another sport.
