the creation of dare to be films
Born out of the production of Dare to Be, a documentary feature film on women’s rowing and the human spirit, Dare to Be Films utilizes the skills of small footprint documentary storytelling. Throughout the four years of filming Dare to Be, filmmaker and DTB Films founder Adam Reist streamlined his production set-up to allow him to carry everything he needed on his back, thus allowing him to non-invasively shoot anywhere needed at a moment’s notice. Not only did this give Adam tremendous flexibility and cost effectiveness, but it also created a unique sense of intimacy between Adam and his subjects, giving the finished project an honesty and point of view not achievable while filming with bigger crews. Adam realized that this style of shooting could very effectively work in many different types of productions and there began Dare to Be Films. Today, Dare to Be Films continues to build upon this small footprint technique, as well as utilize traditional larger scale productions.
