{VIDEO TEASER} — “One Week At A Time” - Four life long friends complete a 30 year circumnavigation of New England by sea kayak. Starting in their 20s, circa 1983, Tom, Mike, Ben, and Charlie have paddled together, trip-by-trip, checking off coastline segments along the New England and Canadian maritimes. They’ve managed to stay healthy and stay friends along the way, and now close the loop in NYC.

A very hopeful community.
We made this video for CCSME and learned a lot about the how helping others drives those in recovery, and how the stigma against those in recovery is changing through hard work, better organization and advocacy.

The name No Umbrella comes from the old newsprint outdoor rag that Nick Callanan (and Kristen Kaiser!) used to publish back in the day: “No Umbrella – A Reader for River People” published its first issue of outdoor-inspired writing and photography on June 22, 2002 in The Forks, Maine.
Then, in 2007, after 37 issues and 80,000 total copies, Nick made the difficult – but obvious – decision to cease publication. The internet – not to mention the recession – had arrived in central Maine and small newspapers were toast.
Fast forward to a beautiful fall day in 2009: Nick and Nick were kayaking at Steep Falls on the S**o River. Nick B. – who at this point had been working in video for 10 years – starts talking about making outdoor video content for the audience of No Umbrella. So they did. And it was fun and challenging. Within weeks, they were hired to make three different promo videos. From there it was game on.
At No Umbrella Media, our clients hire us to build video tools. We work with clients to understand all project elements: genre, messaging, audience, versions, channels, timeline, budget, personnel, resources, regulations and other nuanced factors.
We have experience producing and directing: documentaries, event coverage (including concert Blu-ray, weddings, awards ceremonies, keynote addresses), presentation tools, product videos, journalism-style video packages, many outcome-based web videos (recruitment, event promotion, crowd-funding), digital campaign tools, and plenty of other weird projects.
We hope our work speaks for itself and we pride ourselves on being professional, responsive, and easy to work with. If you’d like to talk about your video idea, please reach out at [email protected].
