Q the X - Winner Best Film at Back Cast Fly Fishing Film Festival

"The concept wasn't pre-conceived for Q the X. We'd set out to gather intimate video footage for a forthcoming sight fishing dvd. As we fished this tiny stream, which we named "the X", we began to get in touch with a different perspective. It's a perspective we've garnered after fishing waters with low or obvious fish stocks, through western Canada and US, and especially New Zealand. It's a perspective that we see, that we can't shake if we're honest about the impacts we have on such fisheries. This is not to project this on to anyone, it's just sharing.

The thoughts and perspectives of fishing this tiny stream culminated in a question of our fishing, hence the name "Q the X". It's a question every angler can ask themselves on any piece of water, centering on the fundamental environmental principle that if we use it, we affect it.

This short won the best feature at the Back Cast film festival in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, 2011." - Dave & Amelia Jensen
