Recent Reviews of Equilibrium


“This 22-minute documentary is a celebration of the incredible angling diversity of Bristol Bay’s famed salmon and trout rivers, featuring some of the greatest fly fishing sequences ever filmed in Alaska. Shot entirely on 1080 HD, the expansive beauty and grandeur of Bristol Bay explodes on the screen making even more poignant the exclusive on-camera interviews with Gary Loomis, Gary Borger, and Jerry Jacques, as they discuss the impending threat of Pebble Mine.”
Joseph Daniel
Editor, Wild on the Fly Magazine

"Great Stuff! You've learned the craft exceptionally well. I'm honored to be a part of it."
Gary Borger
Master Fly Fisherman

"We very much appreciate the effort you have made to fight the Pebble Mine...It is an awesome film.... and think you've done a really beautiful job with it."
K.C. Walsh
President, Simms Fishing Products

“Castaway Films’ Equilibrium was created and filmed from the heart before financial backing and before any distributor arrangement because its creator, Dr. Grant Wiswell, believed that the world had to see what we are fighting for. It is a special film about a special place.”
R. P. Van Gytenbeek
CEO, Federation of Fly Fishers

“AWESOME! Everything is right on. The message is presented in a way many and most people should be able to appreciate, understand, and embrace. Great work! I’ll share it with as many people as I can.”
Brian O’Keefe
Renowned Photographer

“Not since Robert Redford's A River Runs Through It has fly fishing been shown in such a beautifully shot format. This only adds to the importance of the message contained in the film by making us all truly aware of what is at stake here by playing on the passions that this invokes and is a credit to director Dr. Grant Wiswell.”
Paul Sharman
Editor, Fish and Fly (U.K.)

“I watched Equilibrium, and I really enjoyed it. It is beautifully shot, and it was cool to see some of the places I’ve fished and guided. Your film, combined with Felt Soul’s Red Gold, should go a long way toward generating momentum in the fight to stop Pebble Mine. I’d like to try to bring copies of both films, along with some literature, to the attention of Vermont’s congressional delegation to see if they can get something going in Washington.”
Phil Monahan
Editor, American Angler

“I must say your production is one of the best that I've ever seen. If there's anything that I can help you with in the way of getting your message out, I stand ready.”
