Two regular dudes, who love the outdoors, are putting together a feature length documentary focusing on an eclectic group of friends rafting down the majestic canyons of the Green River. The documentary is called River Ties.
In this 3-part interview, Guy and Matt allow us to get to know them a little bit a whole lot better. In Part 1, these gentlemen bare their souls and share their innermost thoughts. Part 2 focuses on the River Ties project itself and the logistics and funding (and why the project is on Indiegogo). And we wrap everything in Part 3 with Matt and Guy sharing their river expertise and tips to help you decide if you want to embark on a river adventure.
