The Last of Keely’s Volunteers

Won a Video Salon Merit Award at the 2026 NSS Convention in Corydon, Indiana. Produced by Bill Storage.

Cave video set to a drinking-shanty ballad, following exploration of a large cave system. The film traces the shift from promise of vast undiscovered passage to crowbars, shovels, and mud, but never calls it failure. Persistence matters more than payoff. A modest hero’s journey, where imagination runs ahead of reality – like it always does.
