Episode #113: Quinn Kanaly and Noel Dockstader

Quinn Kanaly and Noel Dockstader, the directors of Point of No Return are on the podcast today. Their documentary, which showed at this year’s SBIFF, follows two determined men and their crew to fly the first solar powered airplane around the globe. (Spoiler: they do so.)

You can check Clifford’s earlier work at his Vimeo page.
