Eastern Rises is not afraid to escape the parameters of traditional angling videos, blending together artful filmmaking and meticulous casting for a narrative that speaks to the primal beauty and appeal of angling. With an inspiring vision brought to life on screen,
Eastern Rises reminds fly fishermen of the serenity found in the farthest corners of the earth and the pleasure of catching fish where few have set foot. There's no doubt that
Eastern Rises has set the bar for fly fishing media and the pursuit of giant trout in some of the most remote rivers in the world, but it's the greater story - a story of reverence amid untouched landscapes - that makes it a work worthy of true praise.

"Your soul is enriched in a way that's not incalculable by being in a place like this."
Specifications:
"Ben Knight's cynical, snarky narration pulls you along on this humorous and intriguing tale of fishing Far East Russia. The cinematography is superb, the storytelling excellent, and the angling aspirational. Felt Soul may have made better film festival-ey movies, but they've never produced a better flyfishing movie."
– Tom Bie, The Drake
