Kiss the Water

Product Description In a cottage in northern Scotland, Megan Boyd twirled bits of feather, fur, silver and gold into elaborate fishing flies - at once miniature works of art and absolutely lethal. Wherever men and women cast their lines for the mighty Atlantic salmon, her name is whispered in mythic reverence, and stories about her surface and swirl like fairy tales. With breathtaking cinematography and expressive, hand painted animation, KISS THE WATER adheres to and escapes from traditional documentary form, spinning the facts and fictions of one woman life into a stunning film about craft, devotion, love, and its illusions. Review "magical...a stunning achievement." --Time Out "A lyrical portrait...equal parts journalism, speculation and tone poem...quietly beautiful." --The Hollywood Reporter "like dreaming and eating dessert at the same time." --Jerry Seinfeld About the Director Eric Steel began his career as a creative executive at Walt Disney Pictures after graduating from Yale University in 1985. Later he worked as a Vice President at Cinecom, at the time the leading art film distributor. Shifting gears, he took a position as an Editor at Simon & Schuster and then as a Senior Editor at HarperCollins, where he published many noted and award winning books of fiction and non-fiction. In 1995, he became Senior Vice President of Scott Rudin Productions. Along with the acquisition and development of many of the company's most prominent feature projects, he was the Executive Producer of ANGELA'S ASHES, and Co-Producer of BRINGING OUT THE DEAD and SHAFT. In 2003, Eric Steel formed his own company, Easy There Tiger. THE BRIDGE, Eric Steel's directorial and documentary debut, premiered at the Tribeca International Film Festival in 2005 and was released theatrically across the United States and around the world in 2006. Stephen Holden, in The New York Times, wrote THE BRIDGE is "one of the most moving and brutally honest films about suicide ever made." MTV selected THE BRIDGE as the best documentary of the year. Eric Steel optioned, developed and produced (with Amy Robinson and Laurence Mark) JULIE & JULIA - directed by Nora Ephron and starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams. The film was a Golden Globe nominee for Best Picture (Comedy or Musical). KISS THE WATER had its world premier at the Tribeca International Film Festival in April 2013.
