Four states. Four crews. Two months of chaos. One buggy, unpredictable fish hunt.
Rise follows a ragtag team of friends and guides as they chase one of nature’s rarest events — a double brood of periodical cicadas.
Along the way: near misses, busted plans, heartache, long lost friend reunions, new friendships, muddy rivers, and a few unforgettable eats.
This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s a true story about chasing moments that may never come again — and trying to laugh when the bugs have vanished, and the fish flip us the fin.
We are proud to have helped sponsor this film and the shenanigans that arose from it!
Hope you enjoy!
