I am raising funds to complete a documentary about Harvard Men’s Heavyweight Rowing so more people can feel what this sport gives: focus, trust, follow-through and shared purpose. Your support goes to post-production (sound design, colour, hard drives & backups) and to sharing the film through festival submissions and community screenings.

Please read below for more details about this exciting project! :

"At the Catch": The moment when a rower places their oar into the water at the start of the stroke. It sets the tone for the power and efficiency of the stroke that follows. It captures the intensity, precision, and readiness required in rowing, a fitting metaphor for the beginning of a rower’s journey.

Join us on an exhilarating journey with the Harvard Men's Heavyweight Rowing Team through the upcoming documentary, At the Catch. Like a great basketball game or soccer match, the stakes are clear and the flow is intuitive. This documentary will be accessible on the surface while remaining authentic at its core, welcoming both newcomers and lifelong rowers. We follow this year's racing season, looking closely at the balance between individual ambition and collective success. Our lens zones in on several rowers, their paths onto one of the world’s most competitive teams and the pressure to stay there. In the relentless rhythm of training, the fight for a seat in the boat is as aggressive as the races. Every stroke counts and no spot is guaranteed. Experience the passion, discipline and dedication as these athletes gear up for a season-defining test of skill and determination.

Your support will help us showcase the resilience and camaraderie that define the Harvard Rowing Club. With your generosity, we can bring this inspiring story to life and share it with audiences worldwide. Donate now to join us "at the catch" :) Every contribution brings us closer to sharing the power of perseverance through the art of rowing!
