<strong>About me:</strong></p>
<p>
I'm a 27 year old film-maker with a passion for travels, always after new projects. I'm also passionate about the human being and his capacity to adapt to any situation. In my work I try to expose our limits and fears but also understand what makes us such risk-takers. Through my project I wish to do the same by putting myself out of my comfort zone : I've always been afraid of open water. Follow me and support me through this epic journey and discover your own limits! <img alt="14925449_10157729284195652_9134650660510764610_n-1482925268" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/379975/14925449_10157729284195652_9134650660510764610_n-1482925268.jpg"></p>

<strong>Some context:</strong></p>
<p>
Floating from Cabo Verde to Barbados, the Lucky IV (36 feet) adds a new member to the 2 people sailing team. With no experience whatsoever on the ocean, little/no knowledge about navigation and a natural fear of open water, Mehdi will take you through the joy and suffering and the human challenge of spending 20 days on a boat with strangers!<img alt="Capture_d__cran__155_-1482924488" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/379973/Capture_d__cran__155_-1482924488.png"></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
We will be leaving Sao Vicente on the 2nd of january, departing for a 20 day adventure all the way to Barbados. I will have to learn how to sail in 1 or 2 days in order to be able to manage the boat so everyone can get their rest.</p>

Allocation of funds
<p>
Each and every one of us has their fears and anxieties and many of us dream of being finally able to face those limits in order to change, evolve, be better, stronger. The goal of this project is to take one of those fears, shared or at least understood by many, and break down the different steps a human being goes through when taking on such a challenge. I'm a 27 year old film-maker who has always been afraid of open water and i'm going to sail across the Atlantic with 2 people I have never met.</p>
<p>
One of the goals of the film is for everyone to be able to identify themselves with the character and the situation. The other is to have a clearer picture of what life is like during a 2800 mile Atlantic crossing: how does one evolve? how do human relations adapt to the environment? how do we face physical and moral extremes?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>How is this project different? </strong></p>
<p>
There are many stories and documentaries about sailing but none which take real interest in the profound human reaction. There will be no stage play, no dramatization and no censoring, everything I will go through you will with me.</p>
