LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, November 24, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Now streaming worldwide on VOD -- Premiering on Maui with two special screenings, December 8th and 9th, 2025 -- Random Media, in partnership with Life Skills Productions, proudly presents Seas the Day: The Sailing Movie, a powerful and unconventional documentary that isn’t just about crossing oceans—but about crossing cultural divides, breaking generational habits, and sailing toward purpose.

A unique genre-defying, family-driven film Seas the Day: The Sailing Movie chronicles one family’s 6,000-mile sailing journey across 16 countries, learning essential life skills—such as respect, gratitude, and adaptability - from Indigenous leaders, scholars, gang members, and artists alike. A rich, unpredictable story of transformation, carried by a stunning original soundtrack recorded at sea during the voyage and at Luskin's studio deep in the mountains of Haiku Maui, the film is directed (and lived) by anthropologist and educator Ryan Luskin. Seas the Day: The Sailing Movie is available worldwide - on streaming/VOD now.

LOGLINE: A family sails 6,000 miles and discovers some of life’s most important lessons can’t be found on land.

BEHIND THE JOURNEY
Seas the Day: The Sailing Movie was painstakingly crafted over 15 years, as the family confronts environmental threats, emotional uncertainty, and the universal challenge of becoming the people we all hope to be. Compiled from over 72,000 clips—and entirely edited, scored, and produced by Luskin himself—the documentary serves as a love letter to humanity, adventure, and family. Much of the soundtrack, like the journey, was captured live aboard their sailboat.

● 6,000 nautical miles
● 16 countries visited
● 10+ years in production
● 72,000+ video clips captured
● Original music - much of which was recorded live at sea
● Crafted entirely by one family—no crew, no outside funding

Blending real-life travel footage with a deeply human coming-of-age narrative inspired by Joseph Campbell’s “The Hero’s Journey,” the film explores six essential life skills: respect, communication, self-reliance, adaptability, gratitude, and collaboration. From impromptu wild foods cooking lessons in jungle villages to high-stakes survival during storms, the family discovers what it really means to be human—and how those lessons can shape tomorrow’s changemakers.

“This story isn’t ‘look at us sailing the world,’” says Luskin. “It’s about raising a child—and yourself—with values that matter. It’s about real connection and learning from people most of us never get the chance to meet.”
The film also marks the start of a broader movement. Luskin is looking for funding to develop an educational curriculum and adventure-based retreat program that expands on the lessons highlighted in the film—bringing them to classrooms and coastlines around the world.

Seas the Day: The Sailing Movie has resonated with both family and adventure audiences, earning acclaim on the festival circuit for its bold structure and heartfelt message. Festival honors include:
● Navy International Film Festival – Best Documentary Film
● Indie Fest – Award of Merit and Award of Recognition for Soundtrack
● ImpactDocs Awards – Award of Merit and Award of Recognition for Narration
● Toronto Film Festival – Official Selection
● Kids First! Film Festival – Official Selection
