“Can’t Beat This Place for Fun!” This film is a small vignette of Fretwater Boatworks and how they work and play. This boat shop is very unique and keeps the tradition of wooden boat building alive whilst honoring the story of Martin Litton’s - Grand Canyon Dory. These beautiful boats still represent advocacy toward wild places compromised and/or lost. “Win or lose, there’s a measure of victory in the endeavor,” Martin Litton. Director/Camera: Dawn Kish, Camera/Editor: Jake Hewitt, Producer: John Tveten, Starring: Brad Dimock, Amy “Cricket" Rust and Pat Clark
