This week, Bill tells us about a new Earth Day documentary and a paddling destination

If you have never experienced the phenomena of slow television this is your chance to be memorized for three hours while you paddle a canoe from the bow seat of a red cedar strip canoe on the backwaters.It is not binge-watching. Slow TV is a genre of extended coverage of an ordinary event. Its name is derived both from the length of the broadcast as well as from the natural pace of the program’s progress.

The non-fiction storyline is the French River. The mid Ontario, horizontal waterway is part of the hypothetical boundary between northern and southern Ontario. The trip takes you from Lake Nipissing to Georgian Bay. But the French River is much more than a canoe trip. “The actual string out of the edit is quite straightforward since it is a linear trip. The tricky part is pacing the edits to try and keep viewers in 'the tripping zone.' We spend a long time thinking of those edits and the incorporation of the over 100 information boards and 3D animations. When Tripping The French River was finished, I really liked the edit, I thought we captured the personality of this hugely varied river.

“We stayed at the Bears Den Lodge. A great historic, family-run fishing camp. We were talking to them about the remnants of an old logging depot called French River Village, about an hour away on the river. We were enchanted by this ghost town. Then, the lodge owner told us that the room we were talking in was being held up by beams from the old sawmill from the abandoned village. It was an aha moment, the river history is everywhere.
