Hey, my name is Craig and I am an aspiring documentary film maker from the US. I am also a full time traveler/backpacker. I have been on the road basically full time for the last 5 years. I am finally at a point that I am going to be taking on a huge documentary travel series about backpackers (the hostel travel kind not the hikers) that I have been dreaming of for the last few years. My goal is to begin production early next year. Anyway...

Right now, I am going to shoot a few pilot/test episodes and I am looking for a few people that may be interested in being involved. For these pilot/test episodes I want to film a backpacker on a short 3-5 day trip. The actually doc series will be about long term 3-6 month trips but using the short trips as a way to test some gear, continue to gain experience, and continue to develop the style I want the series to be. As I am currently in the US (Southern California), I am only looking for people from the US or Canada because I want to keep the budget for these pilot episodes as low as possible. They will probably be shot in Mexico as that is the closest and cheapest place that has some backpacker culture.

In return for helping me out with the project, I will be covering most of if not all the cost of the trips as I consider that to only be fair and is just part of production cost.

Another option, is if you already have a trip in mexico or central american in the next month or 2 and we could meet up and I could film all or part of it, that would work too. Of course, in that case I wont be paying for all of your trip but of course would buy food, drinks, and pay for some activities as compensation.

Please send me a message if you are possibly interested and I would love to chat a lot more about it to go over the details and the plans. My IG account is CraigArnoldAdventures if you want to see that I am a real person and not some weirdo. Hahahaha

Thanks so much. Cheers!
