“Pass The Bucket: Stephen Murray” is a heart-wrenching, but also very inspiring 5-minute documentary short film directed by Eliot Rausch, whose previous documentary “Last Minutes with Oden” was named Best Documentary and Best Video at the 2010 Vimeo Awards.
June 22, 2007 marked a day that the Action Sports world will remember for a lifetime, a day that forever changed the life of professional BMX rider and three-time U.S. Gold Medalist, Stephen Murray. During competition in the BMX Dirt Finals at the Dew Actions Sports Tour in Baltimore (MD), while in the midst of doing a double back flip, Murray had what has been described as one of the worst crashes ever seen in BMX competition. In that catastrophic tragedy, the incredibly talented 27 year-old athlete suffered career ending injuries to his spinal cord, which left him paralyzed below the shoulders.
Almost four years later, Murray’s life has changed drastically. Fully paralyzed, Stephen now lives a different reality, but he has come to view it as a platform to help others. He continues to embrace each day and in his own words, “stay strong.” In the documentary, Murray describes the accident he endured, the changes to his life as a result of it and what enables him to continue fighting. And in true Stephen Murray fashion, his strength and perseverance continues to inspire. Stay strong.
Through his Stay Strong Foundation and courageous determination, Stephen surprisingly has found a powerful way to pass the bucket.
This piece includes a number of high-resolution color photographs, as well as the remarkable documentary short film.

“This Kingdom” is a heart-wrenching documentary short film by Eliot Rausch, whose previous documentary “Last Minutes with Oden” was just named Best Documentary and Best Video at the 2010 Vimeo Awards. “This Kingdom” captures a short moment in the life of Brian Wolke, his wife, his young child and their current obstacle in life. Living in Compton, California, Brian has got no work and is forced to move out of the family’s home, shifting all of their belongings into storage.
This is such a terribly heartbreaking film; you have to feel for these people and what they are going through right now. In our present times, many people are finding themselves in the same position as that of Brian and his family, so interest this film should be very high.
This piece includes a number of high-resolution color photographs, as well as the very emotionally engaging short film.

“Last Minutes with Oden” is an attractively engaging, but also extremely heart-wrenching 6-minute short documentary directed by Eliot Rausch. The film tells a story about Jason Wood, an ex-convict saying a final farewell to his best friend, the man’s last minutes with his dog before he has to have it euthanized for health reasons. The documentary is a beautiful elegy calling attention to certain heartbreaking moments most of us experience, and which is an incredibly powerful reminder of the importance of family and friendships in all our lives.
The film is accompanied here by another short documentary by Rausch, “Five Hours with Woody.” It follows Jason Wood going through a dark period of heartbreaking anguish, during the time he was trying to raise money for his dog suffering with cancer. Thinking about his dog, which helped bring more love into his life than he could ever have possibly imagined, Woody wondered why all friends couldn’t be as loyal as his dog Oden had been.
This piece presents a number of very touching photographs from the two films, as well as the two deeply moving documentary shorts.
