Cinematographer, Will Bales, on location for Currents of Courage
What started as a family’s quiet battle with cancer became the spark for something bigger.
David Nehmer was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer—right around the time his daughter Christen Skinner found out she was pregnant—turning what should have been pure joy into a season of deep anxiety and uncertainty. David’s planned retirement vanished; instead, he clung to his faith and family but found unexpected hope and brotherhood through an Idaho2Fly.org fly fishing retreat. Those days on the river—casting lines, sharing stories, and feeling nature’s steady current—reset his outlook and became a profound source of healing for the entire family.
Christen watched her father transform from fear to resilience. Moved by the power of those experiences, she reached out to her cinematographer friends with a bold idea: Let’s capture this impact on film.
That collaboration ignited Currents of Courage, our documentary following seven men—including David—battling cancer as they discover tears, triumphs, first casts, and unbreakable brotherhood amid Idaho’s rivers.
From that personal turning point grew Wilderness Voice Project: a mission to amplify nonprofits like Idaho2Fly by delivering professional, high-impact films and content at no cost to them—all funded through sponsorships, crowdfunding, and grants.. We ignite conversations, attract funding, and share authentic stories of courage, recovery, and connection in nature’s embrace.
Together with our cinematographers and team, we empower more nonprofits harnessing the outdoors for healing—free of charge.
