Orvis Presents: If I Tell Them

The month of May was mental health awareness month. In recognition of this, Orvis presented a compelling short film, If I Tell Them, featuring James Sampsel, a painter and Orvis-endorsed fly-fishing guide, who shares his struggles with a bipolar diagnosis and how he deals with that daily as a guide, a husband, and a father.

Oliver Sutro is the lead director, cinematographer, and photographer of the film, If I Tell Them.
