Ocean to Idaho is a visual experience offering audiences the opportunity to track salmon migration 850 miles from Oregon's coast to Idaho's wilderness.
The road trip for field production of Ocean to Idaho debuted on social media platforms in summer 2020 as TLM CEO and outdoor journalist Kris Millgate lived and worked out of a Toyota Tundra paired with Four Wheel Campers. Bi-weekly episodes provided fans with a virtual adventure through the Pacific Northwest while also revealing the process for shooting a film solo during a pandemic.
“Broken cameras, bruises, stitches and skin cancer. I wasn’t expecting any of that. I was as worn out as the fish by the time we made it to mile 850,” says Millgate a journalist for 25 years. “Then I had to cut 25 hours of footage down to a 26-minute show. It was like shoving stepsister's foot into Cinderella's slipper.”
Ocean to Idaho is now showing at in-person and virtual events with the following honors.
What happened in front of the camera is in the film. What happened behind the camera is in Millgate's new book My Place Among Fish.
