What Does It Take (Short Film Awards Entry #26)
What Does It Take reveals the hidden side of class V kayaking, the moments that never make it to social media. While the world watches perfect lines and celebrates the thrill of Class V rapids, the film explores the price behind the performance: the fear, the discipline, the injuries, the isolation, and the constant pressure to push harder. It’s a look at the sacrifices required to pursue a passion at the highest level, and a reminder that greatness is shaped as much by struggle as by success.
