Project Iceman

Recently, one of my roommates introduced me to the famous ultra-marathon runner, David Goggins, who famously says, "I don't stop when I'm tired, I stop when I'm done." While I think Goggins is a maniac who enjoys pain, I think this quote really does have a deep message, that a lot of people in our mostly lazy society can learn from.

Everyone has a dream, but too few actually pursue them. Whether it be the fear of failure, or just laziness, so many take the easiest path that's given to them, but those who ultimately are the happiest, and enjoy life the most are those who seek discomfort. Those two words have pushed me through much of my youth and into my 20s -- ever since I discovered Yes Theory, I've found it easier in my life to find motivation, and inspiration. And this film truly took those feelings to the next level.

Not only did I enjoy this film, but it pushed me to sign up to run the marathon the following day. I am so happy Yes Theory discovered such an inspiring, motivated "seeker" to star in this film, as nobody else could have done a better job at proving that limitations are perceptions, and that the impossible very much is possible with the right attitude. Thank you Anders for chasing your biggest dream and for pushing others to do the same, and thank you Yes Theory for making the world a better place each and every day.

This is not just a film about pushing through physical discomfort, this is a film about going after your dreams no matter what stands in your way. It shows the process of having a dream. Starting with an idea and then the steps and missteps it takes to get to the dream. You are truly rooting for Anders the whole film. The great thing about this movie is the effort and love put into it. To this day, the team is still putting everything they got into this film because they believe in it that much. They want it to inspire as many people as possible. You would think that Anders was just the protagonist, but he has been part of each step of creating this whole film. Leaving this film really makes you question your life. How you are living, what you want out of life, who you have around you. You don't necessarily have to take on Antartica, but it makes you think deeply about how you would like to spend your time here on earth.

If you are feeling lost in life, this is a must watch.

This film is incredible, a lot of relatable struggles. Its a film that can change you view on life, or even the way you live it. I felt all kinds of emotions during the premiere, Congrats I would love to see a recap of how the participants are now, a specially the filmcrew.

The commitment and drive of Anders is so amazing to witness, it put the limits you give yourself in perspective, it made me start to think about my life, which is really difficult to achieve in a film, the director as a good eye for storytelling, aspecially since it is one of his first documentaries.

Its not a slow story, by shifting between scenes which make it fun to watch.

The film displays how our perceptions are the only things that are limiting us from achieving our deepest, most authentic dreams. We embark on a journey watching Anders, the protagonist, set out to do something that has been deemed impossible. We watch him as he risks everything to prove to the world and himself that anything is possible. It will leave you with a new outlook on the world and a powerful inspiration.

The film's nonchalant vlogging style makes us feel as if we're just watching a friend go through the journey and we get to see a vulnerable side of each team member in the expedition.

Wow, this film truly blew me away. Journeying alongside Anders (the Iceman) through what can only be described as a headfirst dive into the seemingly impossible will be something I remember and rewatch forever. Incredible storytelling, videography, animation, soundmixing, and overall production that really allows you to feel the highs and lows right alongside the team. I was left truly inspired and can think of no better film to add to your collection or view in theaters! In short, both the top notch production of this film, and the incredible story it tells make this one of the best documentaries I've ever watched. The fact that it was independently produced makes it all the better.
