Behind the Scenes of Mending the Line With Writer Steve Camelio & Director Josh Caldwell

In this special episode, we’re joined by Steve Camelio, writer of the film Mending the Line, and Josh Caldwell, the film’s director. If you’ve seen the movie, you might recognize a familiar place. Part of it was filmed right at Quiet Waters Ranch, and the final scene even features a powerful nod to Warriors & Quiet Waters, along with appearances by several of our WQW alumni.

We dive into Steve and Josh’s personal journeys into filmmaking, from early inspirations to award-winning careers. Steve shares how the idea for Mending the Line came to life, and how it organically connected to WQW’s mission of healing through fly fishing. Josh reflects on joining the project, casting the film’s powerful ensemble, and what it felt like to watch the final cut for the first time.

Together, we explore why telling authentic veteran stories is so vital, and what it means to them personally to have contributed to a film that’s resonated with so many earning accolades like the Valor Award at the San Diego International Film Festival and topping Netflix’s charts for five days.

Whether you’re a fan of film, a supporter of veteran causes, or someone who believes in the power of storytelling to heal, this episode offers an inspiring look behind the scenes of a movie that continues to make an impact.
