  • Stig Pryds is a Danish record holding freediver. He was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis in 2008, which disabled him so much that he lost his business. After 5 years of intense pain and increasing dependency on drugs, he decided to quit all drugs cold turkey, and find alternative ways to deal with his disease. He began practising yoga daily, changed his diet, and started practising freediving. This caused drastic changes: within months he could walk without a cane, and he could play with his two young daughters again.
    It also taught him how good he actually was at freediving; within a year he started setting Danish records. He started traveling the world going to freediving competitions, where the warm weather and sun also improved his condition. He used his increased exposure from the Danish records to tell the story of his recovery and inspire people to live a healthy lifestyle. He started teaching others how to deal with auto-immune disorders.
    The downside of his new fame was that the insurance company, who paid his monthly disability check, noticed that he was doing things a healthy person does. Despite the argument that he's only healthy because he can do these travels and trainings, the insurance company threatened to sue him for lying -he'd have to pay back all the disability checks plus a fee. With the help from his doctors Stig managed to convince them his disease is real, just that he manages it well, but the insurance company decided to stop paying him his disability. The stress this whole procedure caused was enormous and Stig relapsed into severe pain.
    We shot this video in January, the hardest month for Stig, where he had to figure out how to proceed. We talked about how life can keep dealing you blow after blow, and how you know that you'll be ok anyway. But it still sucks that you have to deal with the blows, and have to go through that uncertainty of what comes next. Stig has decided to focus on his new breathing program, in which he teaches people how to breathe properly to deal with stress and disease, together with yoga and diet. He might not be able to compete much this year, but he's getting back up and doing his best to be of use to others. Find out more about Stig here:

    The least they could have done was let you see him break the water & take his first breath. Sick artists like to leave you hanging instead of the crescendo of resolution. Such sadistic artists are not celebrators of life but celebrators of bondage. I'm not interested in that. I've always been into extreme sports but you have to either show the victory in it's fullness or the defeat in it's fullness or you're not an artist that celebrates life & reality but a manipulator & most likely a bully. Not saying the diver had a say in how this was filmed. Based on his bio I doubt that was his doing. It's probably the doing of the photographer. Hopefully the diver never uses that production service again.
    PS. After having the dialog you may have noticed I have changed my attitude. I was wrong to have concluded that Daan is guilty of any of the hyperbolic comments above that I made. I should have given him the benefit of the doubt & used a less accusatory style. He explained what really happened & I felt kind of small when I realized he knew what I was talking about and actually agreed with the on factual point I made. I decided not to edit my comments out but to leave them as examples of how not to communicate with an artist about their work.

      @@DaanVerhoeven Either you understood what I meant or you didn't. It's not a case of looking closer because what I'm talking about has nothing to do with looking closer.
      It's about crescendo in art that has an emotional progression. You decided to destroy rather than celebrate. Therefore I decided to criticize rather than praise. My criticism is as valid a response to your art as any other.
      If you make choices to go one way it means you don't get to have it the other. The only thing that should matter to you is whether your art pleases you. Obviously it does so let it do that for you. You're going to get criticism regardless of what you create.
      But my post was an observation that was more directed to the person who said they were having nightmares after watching. I recognized why. You didn't resolve your art for the viewer. You gave her no relief.
      I recognized that because I too was dissatisfied having been robbed of that breath. I too am a diver. I learned free diving & scuba as a teen ager on Maui.
      I've been at the bottom of some deep dives I watched your diver controlling his gasp reflex I related to everything in my body screaming for air while I maintained control - and you never gave me that breath.
      For me the ascent from a free dive is all about that breath. In fact the entire dive is coordinated & governed by that first breath.
      Playing that down to celebrate the rest of the dive may is art no doubt but it's weird art because it does not celebrate the crescendo, the orgasm, that moment of transformation that cannot be imitated but only authenticated through the experience itself.
      Denying that moment to say it's about all the other moments preceding it - I find pretentious - especially since you took us almost to that breath. If actually do achieve that in a series of videos -- it's not working because there's no reference to that in your presentation & I have no motivation to watch others because of what you did to me in this one - with no directions how to watch it properly - if that's in fact the case.

    • @DaanVerhoeven
      @DaanVerhoeven  3 роки тому +223

      i partially agree with you - in all of those other films i made with Stig in that playlist, i emphasise that moment of first breath after a dive, that relief and exaltation in exhalation and inspiration. The simple reason i didn't in this movie is that the shot where Stig breathes is quite messy: there are a lot of people on the surface of that pool. Plus it's a reverse shot, and i thought it would take too many people out of the moment. It was a difficult choice to cut there, and your argument that it's the wrong choice has some validity. But i didn't want to end with a mess, and i started underwater so i ended underwater. The rest of my films with Stig are not that way - up to you if you want to watch them or not.

    As I was watching him dive deeper into the water, the message he was giving about being in a box I thought was about "Not to fear death!"
    I realized the message was, "Take yourself out of your comfort zone, and take a leap of faith!"

    Many of us settle into a comfort zone too soon in life and stay there until our time comes!

    Since I was 6-7 year old, I've taken care of my disabled mother. I'm 24 now and 2 days ago she had a really bad car wreck (T-boned by a car going 60 mph). I still take care of her even it means me sleeping by her bedside for 3 days with almost no sleep to make sure she's okay. On top of this I'm a full time student and worker. I literally live adversity every day. And so do a lot of us. The one thing that gets me through it all, is that no matter how hard is, no matter how inescapable your situation feels, you will make it and see a sunny day if you just keep going. Just remember this: when all of this adversity is hitting you like a train, remember that there is always beauty and greatness in this world, whether in your friends, family, a hobby, or a beautiful view. There is always beauty hiding in the ugliness of life. There is always happiness where darkness swallows us. It's searching for those little things that make life livable. Never stop searching for them.
    This is my message to any and all of you struggling right now. I love all of you and I know you all can make it. I know you will find happiness somehow, someway, some day. Keep positive my friends. It's contagious :)
    @Daan Verhoeven - This video was one of the main influences that influenced me to keep going when I was at the lowest point in my self-building endeavors. I don't know a thing about diving, but I like to think that this video speaks to everyone no matter what their situation is. You make unique, inspiring content. I wish you the best with your videos! It's reassuring to see someone ambitious aspiring to achieve their dreams as you have. I look forward to all of your future content.
