I do appreciate that you want to see the film and perhaps cannot afford the DVD. Also, you should know that PBS pays me nothing to air it, and they can air it whenever the please. So perhaps do contact your PBS station and request it. The only way I've been able to see a way for recouping my losses was through DVD sales, and essentially, PBS is my advertisement for the show. I am not adverse to 'donating' a DVD here and there, especially to the people who participate on this forum, but if it goes on YouTube or something like that, the likelihood is that it would damage potential income. I did start to make a digital download available, but Amazon was charging $1.99. I cleared .40. - Also, know after a few years, I'll post it on Vimeo myself. Thanks for your understanding, David

Thanks all for the good words about this documentary. I am the filmmaker who made Geocache. While I enjoy the discussion and empathize with your desire to watch it, I have to say that it is not legal for you to post the video on a website. It is copyright infringement and my contract with the distributor does in fact state that the film cannot be used in this manner without written permission. So I apologize about this, but if you would please remove the video from Veoh. If you wish to purchase it, you can buy it at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Geocache-David-Liban...3463&sr=8-1 Thanks for your understanding, David Liban www.geofilm.net

Thanks for the good words on the documentary. I am the filmmaker of "Geocache" that you are talking about. You can find it at Amazon, but it's the one called "Geocache" not the complete guide. You can also link to it at www.geofilm.net. All the best. David

Oh, and one more thing. The people I met at GeoWoodstock and other Cachers around Colorado were some of the nicest and generous folks I've encountered. I truly enjoyed meeting them and seeing them at play!

Actually, I did not get paid to make this film. I make my bread and butter teaching production. I only made the film because I was interested in it. And though I am not a geocacher, I felt I needed to do it a few times so I could get a sense of what the activity was like. I was really focusing on the sport and the people who play it. As a documentarian, I must research a topic, and in making a film, I learn about the topic. I do sell the DVD various places, but believe me the few dollars I get from the sale of the DVD's does not come close to the investment I made in making the film. But I do appreciate your enthusiasm and love the sport. David!

I am the filmmaker of the Geocache documentary. Glad to see that it's still being shown around and that people are liking it. I recently put it on Amazon for those looking to find it. But it may turn up on your PBS station for the next three years. Cheers, David

Fluffy, Thanks for your feedback about my film. Although I have not seen Adventures in Geocaching I'd like to believe my film attempts to explore the topic without an agenda. I didn't want to suggest negative or positive but to let the viewer decide. As I understand it, that is the goal of a documentary, to document it without editorializing on the topic. That said, it is impossible to do so. The simple process of editing content you have to choose material to clarify the points you are trying to explore. Also when someone knows they are on camera, they behave differently, thus not entirely themselves. I concur with your point about the point where Rob is giving options about going off trail. But in order to make a documentary, you have to show things at times that may or may not be entirely factual. To defend my decision, from my point of view, we started out on trail, and all of a sudden everyone started walking through the prairie where there was no trail. There were no signs saying not to, but the fact is, everyone went off trail. That was the decision made by the group. Also because it was completely open, does not mean people should leave the trails. I don't know the rules of that park we were in, but I needed to show something that would make clear the point of Ranger being interviewed. But, I did try to be fair to both sides in my presentation. BTW, I really do appreciate both your involvment in the film and your feedback. Really good commets. Also, right now I am working on the subtitles for the DVD and also on the closed captioning in preparation for the PBS airing. David

Thanks for the posting and glad you liked the movie. Also happy you posted the chapters so people can get an idea about the topics covered in the film.

Glad you liked the film. And it is doing pretty well. Right now I am awaiting responses from about 25 film festivals to see if it will be accepted. Also, I just found out it is going to be aired on PBS in not too long. I am pretty pleased about this, but loads of paperwork for no money. Basically I am self distributing since it is near impossible to sell a stand alone program. So do spread the word. David www.geofilm.net

So, after a year I have completed a documentary about Geocaching. It's called Geocache (oddly enough) and I am hoping to get it seen nationally. The show is about 30 minutes and it is being received pretty well. I am hoping to get it into festivals and perhaps PBS. We'll see. For more info, go to www.geofilm.net.

Greeting, My name is David and I am a professor at the University of Colorado at Denver. Also I am a filmmaker. I recently became aware of the Geocaching craze, and I thought it would make a great short documentary (half-hour). However, I have never done it myself, nor do I currently own a GPS device. But before I jump in and start work on the project, I am hoping to speak to someone who might be an oncamera expert or at least guide me in the right direction. If you can help, I would be most appreciated. Thanks, David Liban dliban@gmail.com
