Project Iceman

This documentary takes a place among the best documentaries I have ever watched. Everything about the movie is outstanding.

Starting from the inspiring story of a seemingly normal person willing to tackle impossible and unthinkable challenges. It shows you how important it is to always keep the child inside alive. It shows how motivating it can be follow the voice inside. It gives you limitless power to pursue your dreams.

And what I found it super innovative to show the actual process, how a super hero is formed, what journey does it take, what struggles to be taken over, rather than the glory and the superficial image of success.

When it comes to the technical challenges they had to overcome to film, to edit and to produce, it says a lot about the amount of courage, of creativity and of determination they all had to finish the project.

Project Iceman is a movie capable of motivating you and inspiring you to lengths you couldn't imagine.

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.

Project Iceman is not just any documentary. What makes it remarkable is how deep we get to dive into Anders' journey, his motivation and his struggles. The decision to make this film independently meant that it remained real, raw and brutally honest. The story-telling comes from the heart and you can tell that the message of the film meant so much, not only to Anders (The Iceman) and Ammar (the director) but also to the entire crew.

Project Iceman will have you on the edge of your seat, it will have you laughing, crying and everything in between but most importantly - it will leave you wanting more from life and will open up a whole new way of looking at things that may have always seemed 'impossible'.

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.

Everything about this film is impressive. The grit and technical prowess required to document the story in the first place is remarkable, and to get such well-composed shots while doing so takes the film a step beyond extraordinary. Furthermore, the mixed-method storytelling approach presented beautifully and was a fantastic add to the film.

Anders Hofman asserts that "limitations are perceptions," and his effort and the success of this film proves that he's right. It's a motivating message I'll carry with me for the rest of my life, not just because of the incredible feat accomplished by Hofman and his team, but also because of the community effort that brought this film to life in a non-traditional and noteworthy way.

This film represents a positive paradigm shift toward a world where everyone sees that we can, truly, accomplish the impossible, especially when we work together. It's more than a documentary; it's an anthem.

Hats off to everyone who played a part in this extraordinary accomplishment. I'm looking very forward to future endeavors.
