A BACKYARD IN NOWHERE

* Peter A. Christensen & Mathis E. Jensen
* Lenght 52 min
* Publisher Sellfish Media Denmark
* Review Joni Inkinen






The story begins with three pike freaks going to Alaska searching for the massive pikes.
The three men were Peter Christensen, Peter Lyngby, Mikkel Poppelhoj and a talented cameraman Mathis Jensen.

They shoot and fished for over a month in abandoned part of the world, river called Innoko in Alaska to make this movie. What was the result?
All-time best pike fishing movie! Giant pikes, amazing hits and really exciting events from start to the end. In this river the fish density is huge. Almost every cast follows enormous trails of large predators compete for the fly. The species shown in the movie is pike, Esox lucius.


Backyard in nowhere is a movie which has some Quentin Tarantino style. The group will experience a lot more action than they bargained for. The local village Holy Cross is a place, where happens and occurs all kind of strange things.
The village is full of rusty cars, decaying houses and freaked out local people. Meeting these natives brings impression of an Western movie, a feeling that anything can happened next.

Backyard in nowhere is the most different kind of fishing movie that I've ever seen. The filming and editing are stunning, music and sound design is pleasuring for ears. Adding this the monstrous pikes which destroy your flies in a giant rush, you really have to see this movie!

I think that this movie creates new standard of what rod fishing movies could be.
I suggest you to read the Alaska trip article written by Peter Christensen in Pohjolan Perhokalastaja magazine 4/2011.
