"Are our experiences born from the drifting of our imagination? Some say we possess a compass within ourselves that eventually points us in the direction we needed to go all along. But the most difficult step in that journey is the first one that simply takes us outside the door."
From the fall of 2015 throughout summer the following year, the Ultralite Films crew trekked hundreds of miles, swam a myriad of rivers, and slept under countless stars in order to try and capture the essence of Texas outdoors and more specifically the experiences available through the Texas state park system.
