Canoe Dig It
Canoe Dig It? is a comedic mockumentary directed by Samuel Dunning that follows a colorful cast of eccentric competitors vying for the coveted "Top Paddler" blue ribbon at the Moosehead Lake Regional Finals in northern Maine. Lovingly spoofing the very real but obscure niche sport of Freestyle Canoeing (often called "canoe dancing"), the film highlights paddlers who choreograph intricate twists, turns, and synchronized dips to the music of their choice.
