From award-winning filmmaker, Mark Waters comes his debut fully self funded feature film The Salt Trail. This visual gem is a sensory and cinematic masterpiece that takes us on a voyage and delves into the true meaning of surf travel. Journeying through Indonesia from the crowded points of Bali to the isolation of The Mentawai islands, this film captures the joys and the pains of exploration, and the rewards that will stay with you long after the journey is over. It is a film to stir the soul and stoke the wanderlust and, showcasing some deepest, sweetest tube rides, it'll have you packing your bags for your own Indian Ocean voyage of discovery.

The film was shot in 2011, released in 2012. Then released for free on YouTube 2024. I made the film with nothing but the coins in my pocket, no real plan other than to live in the moment and see what comes out of it. The film was received pretty well and it's still stoking the soul all these years later:)

I'm almost halfway through my life (39), so I've decided to start growing this channel to share some stuff I've learned along the way. Please give a sub if you are feeling it. That would really help the channel grow. Big love for getting to this point in your life where you are reading these words right now. It means a lot to me. Mark
