SLED ISLAND Festival Recap: ‘It Came from the Deep’
Director, Cinematographer.

Prod Co: Ramble Films

Co-Director’s: James Barry, Josh Sandulak.

Post-production: James Barry

Following the previous year’s flood that cut Sled Island short, we wanted to create a recap that captured the resilience and spirit of the festival. We imagined a creature emerging from the depths of the Elbow River, brought to life as a symbol of Sled Island’s return. The creature explores the city in true festival fashion, bouncing between venues, events, and late-night parties, taking in the full spectrum of Sled Island’s energy. By following this one character through the weekend, we were able to highlight the eclectic experience of the festival while tying it all together through a single playful lens before the creature disappears once again beneath the surface.
