Means Of Production...

...A Norwegian Odyssey with a twist (and some lemony zest!)

Means of Production (M.O.P.) is a film about the kayaking exploits of Max Bilbow and his chums from around the world. There are sections from Uganda, Zambia, Madagascar, Nepal, Italy and 'of course' Norway. The film on a whole is relaxed take on some familiar paddling destinations and does well in its attempts to hold people's imagination and attention.

The film brings together some of the most awe inspiring kayaking destinations from around the world with some 'mad' kayaking skills to boot. Using footage from the last couple of years MOP links all the important parts of any good kayaking flick; slick editing, big moves, big drops and of course, the most important part of any film a great soundtrack. Getting the permissions for the huge amount of music used is no mean feat! What really makes MOP stand out from other films like it is the brilliant voice over from Tony Bilbow (that's right, Max's Dad). You really have to give it a watch just to experience some damn fine witticisms.

MOP watches like a truly professional film and for this Max (the director) and the many people behind the lenses deserve much praise. The film is one to watch if you want to feel inspired to get out there paddling, so go buy it and be inspired!
