Director’s Statement

Lands End documents the magnetic forces that attract swimmers to jump into 51-degree water and head West.

The swimmers themselves narrate as they swim in calm zen-like waters, later in active midday waters, and finally through violent churning seas which pound the rocky shoreline. We film in and on the water and on the beach deck to provide a feel for the vast energy of the Pacific Ocean and for the growing community of swimmers that huddle together after swims to get warm, eat, drink and share stories of adventure.
