This episode of "Surveyor Says! The NSPS Podcast" previews a new documentary being filmed to capture the story behind the location, design, and construction of the Erie Canal. Our guest today is Tom Garber, owner of Third Wave Films in Long Island, NY, and the filmmaker behind the upcoming movie, "Creating the Erie Canal." Tom recently chatted with Tim Burch about his introduction to the subject matter, the research necessary to develop the script, and how surveyors played a large part in the overall project. They also talked about how filmmaking and surveying have progressed with technology, yet the basics of each discipline are still important to learn. A great conversation, and we can't wait for the film's release in early 2025!
