Quietwater Films makes movies about paddling canoes and kayaks. We got our start about a year ago in Madison, Wisconsin, mainly due to a chance encounter between me (Jeff Bach) and Darren Bush that turned into a long conversation about instructional videos and what I was doing with them in another production company I own, 2 Wheel Films. For the most part I'm behind the scenes. You will see Darren in front of the camera as the host of the canoeing and kayaking DVDs we have made so far.
Once Darren and I got to talking we found we had several things in common. Being on water was one of those common interests. We're both also avid "do it yourselfers". So with water and a DIY attitude in common, we decided to form Quietwater Films and go about producing content that we thought people would be interested in viewing. In our opinion, too much of what's out there in
paddlesports media is focused on cliff jumping kayakers with pink mohawks, a death wish, and bad music. We think there is much more to paddling than all those "extreme" antics. We're working on paddling content for the rest of us!
