This insightful new documentary tells the story of Danny MacAskill’s 2014 release ‘Epecuén’. Directed by innovative French filmmaker Thibaut Grevet, the film follows Danny and a small crew as they head to the incredible setting of Villa Epecuén.
The recent history of the once thriving tourist town is told through the eyes of Pablo Novak, the town’s longest serving resident, who describes how his birthplace was destroyed and submerged by floodwaters, making it uninhabitable. After 25 years, the salt waters receded leaving behind a barren, yet beautiful landscape. The documentary explores the mental and physical challenges that filming in such a remote and desolate location presents as well as offering an intriguing insight into the processes that Danny MacAskill goes through in the creation of his extraordinary riding films.
