Hudson River Project

This is nuts, and I hope this gets funded. The Hudson River Project aims for a boat to be made of trash from NYC, taken to Lake Tear of the Clouds, and paddled back to NYC. Not sure what’s going to happen at the Federal Dam, though.

Oh, and Mogwai will be providing an original soundtrack.

From their kickstarter:

It’s a simple idea. Build a boat from New York City’s waste, take it to the source of the Hudson River – the river without which the city would not exist – and row the boat back to NYC.

This story connects the source of the Hudson River to NYC, the great city that sits at its mouth.

The film follows James as he makes a boat from NYC’s waste, the detritus of a modern megalopolis, and takes it to the source of the Hudson River high in the Adirondack Mountains, at Lake Tear of the Clouds.

Get the whole scoop on Kickstarter, and if you can give em a kick.
