Red Knot Journey

Scott Cohen :: Director

“In the Antarctic Circle, summer has begun. It is now light twenty-four hours a day. The sun disappears only briefly near midnight leaving a prolonged, magnificent twilight. Ice showers lend a fairy tale atmosphere to the scene. Millions of delicate crystals, thin and needle-like, descend in sparkling beauty through the twilight air.”

- Shackleton’s Diaries, 1914

Vincent Kartheiser :: Peter

In Vincent Kartheiser I discovered a fearless actor who leaped at the chance develop a character on the fly…or at sea in this case.

Garth Stevenson :: Composer

66 Degrees South

Our Captain, Jorge Luis Aldegheri, navigating us past the pack ice on the edge of the Weddell Sea near where Shackleton lost his ship.

Billy Campbell :: Captain

Billy Campbell was an obvious choice as Captain of the Red Knot journey. His two loves are acting and the sea. For the past decade, when not acting, Campbell spends much of his time sailing the world on a Norwegian Tall Ship.

“We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time”

- T. S. Eliot

JOURNAL ENTRY #1

“Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue to exist, a wonderful living side by side can grow up, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.”

- RAINER MARIA RILKE
