Always great having Eye of the Dragon at Victoria! Title: Re: Documentary airs Feb 20 Post by: EOTD on December 21, 2010, 06:29:43 PM We like coming to the Island, so many teams there have befriended us, we always feel welcome. Dragon boating is such a great sport, we appreciate it so much.
As for the documentary, we can't wait to see it either! We haven’t seen it yet ourselves, the premiere is Feb 5 so we’re waiting to see it like everyone else. We hope it’s good :shock: Title: Re: Documentary airs Feb 20 Post by: LittleSchrodinger on December 21, 2010, 07:48:28 PM Can't wait to see it! Hopefully it's subtitled/captioned on either screens for the vision-reliant!

Well it's made for the vision-reliant so you're in luck :D . We saw a trailer and the scenes look great. Title: Re: Documentary airs Feb 20 Post by: EOTD on January 30, 2011, 09:37:34 AM Just a reminder that the documentary premieres in Vancouver in theatre this Saturday Feb 5.
It airs on TV across Canada on Feb 20. We didn’t make this film and we haven’t seen it yet so can’t tell you much about it. It was produced by Adelina Suvagau and funded by Roger’s Broadcasting. Our website has a link to the documentary site which has more information www.eyeofthedragon.ca (http://www.eyeofthedragon.ca) Title: Re: Documentary airs Feb 20 Post by: rb on February 06, 2011, 06:27:20 PM Did anyone see this? Any reviews?
Title: Re: Documentary airs Feb 20 Post by: mandachan on February 07, 2011, 10:42:20 AM I gained some pretty deep insight into the lives of someone who has lost their vision. The movie is essentially the stories told by four members of EOTD, and many of the shots were filmed by them too. Filmed!!
I liked the descriptions on what a visually impaired person might see (eg. black dots in the middle, tunnel vision, blurred vision etc) depending on the type of impairment they have. Certainly doesn't impair their ability to kick ass at regattas...the final shot of the movie was my own team getting beaten by them. :? Not sure if I liked that part. :x Bravo to EOTD and to Dan Hebert... it was an honour working with them on the water. (too few times) Title: Re: Documentary airs Feb 20 Post by: EOTD on February 16, 2011, 04:55:58 PM Just a reminder that OMNI TV is showing their documentary this Sunday.
Ontario – 9 pm on Omni TV Calgary – 11 pm Channel 4 Edmonton – 11 pm Channel 11 Vancouver – 9 pm Channel 8 Victoria – 9 pm Channel 10 Bell ExpressVu - Channel 254 The movie is essentially the stories told by four members of EOTD, and many of the shots were filmed by them too. Filmed!! The filmmaker asked the four paddlers to do some filming and they obliged, it was a good way to demonstrate people's abilities, very creative.

Have admired this team since my first year paddling, they are living & winning proof that anyone can get out on the water if they put their minds to it. :D Title: Re: Documentary airs Feb 20 Post by: EOTD on February 23, 2011, 10:37:47 PM It’s not currently available on the internet.
If anyone would like to see it made available on the internet or played again on TV or elsewhere contact the filmmaker Adelina Suvagau at [email protected] and let her know. She’ll pass it on to Rogers Broadcasting / Omni TV so they can decide where and when to show it again. http://www.wecantseeyoubeatingus.com [email protected] |
