My Day “Living the Dream” by Renan Ozturk
By Rocky Thompson on January 1st, 2010
Backcountry.com Athlete Renan Ozturk originally shot this Day in the Life video for a film festival. It didn’t make the cut, so he’s posted it online. Renan will have to correct me if I’m wrong, but I think he made it for the Nikon Festival “Your Day” contest, where he went up against no-talent assclowns like Ashton Kutcher.
Here are some out-takes, and here’s Renan’s description of the video:
For most of the last 6 years I’ve been a traveling vagabond following my passion for rock climbing. This existence involved sleeping outside in wild places, hitching rides, having very little belongings, a drained bank account and some gourmet dumpster diving for food. I climbed everyday and lived my dream.
These days I’m a domesticated man. By most people’s standards I’m still living in the ghetto with my 1988 beater car and trailer-like house. Each day I find time to escape to the nearby rock spires and bag a summit. Making this creative short I realized that I still live my dream everyday…!
Awesome video! Really liked it! Anyone got any idea which route that is at Eldo?
dope video.
badass!
My palms started sweating at about 1:50.
Sweet vid.
Cool camera magic.
