Shouldered Oar Films is a full-service film and video company. We have always understood that the most effective way to communicate is to combine the twin powers of narrative and visual imagery. Every client has a need and a story and we work to analyze those needs and deliver your story in a way that moves viewers. We make commercial spots, non-profit advocacy videos, and documentary films. This excerpt from our latest film "Wood/Sails/Dreams" explores the resurgence of wooden boats and traditional wooden boat building that began in the 1970s. Regattas like the Opera House Cup were instrumental in that resurgence. In 1973 only a handful of boats left the starting line and the trophy was a used ice bucket. Today that ice bucket is etched with the names of some of the most beautiful wooden yachts on the east coast. The Opera House Cup regatta takes place every August in the waters off Nantucket. We hope to bring "Wood/Sail/Dreams" to the big screen in time for the 40th running of the Opera House Cup on August 19, 2012.
