Knife River Documentary

A look into the intersecting lives of ordinary people that form the extraordinary community of Knife River, Minnesota — Justin and Jennifer Ayd

It's in our humble opinion that Knife River has taken on the status of "passion project", as the idea for our documentary began forming roughly twelve years ago. We appreciate the highlight from Lake County News-Chronicle and Duluth News Tribune! #Duluth #NorthernMinnesota

As reported by @BBCNews, the mysterious 'hovering ship' was only recently sighted and photographed off the coast of England, but we had our own "paranormal occurrence" on #LakeSuperior during the summer of 2019. Originally published @kniferiverdoc on Instagram. #TheTruthIsUpThere

This is funny if you know Duluth firefighters rescued 26 anglers who became stranded on Lake Superior off the Endion neighborhood late Tuesday morning when the ice cracked and shifted. It’s funny because of that.

Following somewhat of a blustery afternoon, the evening turned out to be mostly quiet and calm, with temps steadily dropping. It’s looking like tomorrow will be less than zero degrees — these are the times when we’re reminded why we love Minnesota so gosh darn hecken much.

After a few monochromic mornings, a modest splash of color across the horizon is a welcomed sight.

Soothing aerial footage is so soothing.

Fresh snow and blue skies. At least a few inches of new fluffy stuff. ☃️

There are advantages to shooting on a Bolex, such as the compact nature of the camera, naturally no batteries due to the spring-wound clockwork power system, the mindset of planning shots down to the second, and making silly videos for the internet, of course. #16mm

20 to 30 seconds is what we’re afforded with one full wind on the Bolex. Needless to say, when a single one-hundred foot roll yields approximately 2 minutes 47 seconds worth of 16mm motion picture film, our cinematographer is winding often. @Kodak_ShootFilm @mnfilmtv #MNFilm

It’s going to be a great day.

Our trip last week was less focused on the doc and more focused on recharging before we head into a busy season back home in Mpls. Part of this included taking a drive up the shore. The colors were spectacular. We will return to the Knife River in 3 weeks. #SplitRockLighthouse
