INT. ACTIVIST WORKSHOP, LONDON – DAY
Hamish is leading a group of activists in a video production workshop. He is enthusiastic and passionate, demonstrating how to use a camera and editing software.
HAMISH (V.O.)
“My name is Hamish, and I’ve been a media activist for 20 years. I recently received a windfall from an Italian feature film. I had been in London for 5 years, running media workshops, and I decided it was time to sail away.”

“While out for coffee, I discovered a big orange lifeboat covered in concrete blocks. I found the source of the lifeboat and gave the supplier a call. It turned out to be a wee man in Aberdeen.”

HAMISH (V.O.)
“I took a trip to Scotland to pick up my boat. It was the best railway line in the world, and I camped on an island. I was interviewed about why I wanted the boat.”
Cut to Hamish’s second trip to Scotland to work on his boat. The truck delivering the boat was delayed, so Hamish went to Balcombe to do some media training.

“The truck was delayed, so instead of waiting around, I decided to go to Balcombe to do some media training.”

“Everything was broken, so I had to fix the tech side of the camp. No media training was done.”

HAMISH (V.O.)
“The boat finally arrived, and I drove it to London. I encountered some low bridges and used cyclists as ballast along the way.”
