Last year at Trail Days (2007) in Damascus, VA, I spoke to Mark Flagler of FlaglerFilms about his “Appalachian Impressions” movie. He had remembered me from the previous Trail Days (2006) and so I was curious about whether he was off to produce the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). Mark said that he was actually better off filming the Continental Divide Trail because there was actually a demand for it. Good point.

Mark continued on informing me that he was going to be heading back out to the CDT to do more filming and hopefully have something towards the end of the year, which, I checked periodically, nada. He also said that he was probably going to do the voice over (VO) work, which would have been cool but, silly me, couldn’t help but recommend Sam Elliott.  He’s got that very rustic, slow, country-style voice.  To my surprise and delight, upon viewing the movie preview, Mark was able to have the famous Peter Thomas narrate this newest project, sweet!

According to the FlaglerFilm‘s site, he will be screening this latest edition in what I (and probably many others) hope will be the second in a total of three films, eventually making up what could be a Triple Crown box set.
