Caboose Film Screening - Social Run, Social Beers, Q&A

CABOOSE FILM SCREENING, SOCIAL RUN + SOCIAL BEERS

Super excited to be hosting an event with our friends Tom Reynolds and Dan King on the 3rd of November.

They are coming over from England to show Caboose - a film they made about The Speed Project, running and mental health.

Hosted at Isla, we’ll run a social 6km, drink a beer, watch the film and have a Q & A afterwards with Tom and Dan about their experience running across the driest desert on earth – while trying to make a film at the same time.

Raffle prizes on the night to raise money for UK mental health charity CALM – Campaign Against Living Miserably.

Caboose Screening

A story about running, mental health & one person’s search for sanctuary in one of the harshest environments on earth.

Caboose is set against the backdrop of an unsupported, unsanctioned 500km team relay running race across the Atacama Desert called The Speed Project.

For Tom Reynolds – a self-confessed slow runner from Manchester, UK – it reflects a reckless desire for adventure following a tumultuous 12 months full of loss, grief and mental health struggles.

Is entering an underground event based around speed, created by maverick race organiser Nils Arend, the perfect next step towards healing and recovery?

Or, will a knee-jerk decision to attempt to run 500km across the driest desert on earth, surrounded by high-speed trucks and hostile police, end in tears?
