The River Why

"You can fish all your life never knowing --
Its not fish you're after…"


Set on the banks of a wild river, The River Why is the story of 20 year old Gus Orviston, the Mozart of flyfishing, who leaves his big city home in rebellion from his family to live in a secluded cabin on the banks of a wild river.

In the process he comes in contact with an assortment of eccentric characters who help him in his journey to adulthood.

Most of all, The River Why is a love story. The love of a man for the wilderness, and for a beautiful woman who comes to share it with him.

Gus Orviston, the hero and narrator of the The River Why, is born with this observation: 

“The surface of the earth is 30% land and 70% water. A newborn baby is composed of 70% water and 30% everything else. I guess this means that life and water are inseparable.”

This film will be beautifully done, great actors, and a timely story for our generation. We are seeking purpose more than wealth today, and The River Why is exactly that, Gus's journey is about seeking life, asking questions, and finding people who come along side him to help him in this discovery. The highly anticipated film produced and directed by Kristi Denton Cohen is set for a instant classic.

Keep an eye out for a screening near by, it will be worth the drive!
