Ultimate Swim Raft was the third episode of the first season of Brojects. It premiered on Cottage Life on April 17th, 2014.

Synopsis

According to the show's website, the synopsis reads "Frustrated by the poor movie watching experience inside the cottage, brothers Andrew and Kevin Buckles dream of having an outdoor movie theatre setup and this weekend, they set out to realize that dream. They want something that is portable, can be hidden when not in use, is protected from the elements, can function as a music system when not being used to watch movies, and above all, is easy to set up and take down. Settle back with a bag of popcorn and watch as the brothers, together with some help from Walker, premiere their Ultimate Outdoor Theatre."

Summary

Upon nearing the completion of their outdoor movie theatre build, Andrew and Kevin bring out their Potato Cannon in an effort to "blow up" their old VHS tapes. The boys later discover that they aren't any DVDs down at the cabin either. They decide to film their own movie to present on their movie theatre. After a brief discussion, it's decided that it will be a zombie movie, Night of the Living Bro, starting Kevin as beer-seeking zombie and Andrew as the hapless victim.

Trivia

The boys' movie, Night of the Living Bro, was edited by production manager Alex Coles on his laptop on iMovie.
Because it was shot using their smartphones, Andrew and Kevin mistakenly filmed Night of the Living Bro in vertical or portrait-orientation rather than the standard horizontal or landscape-orientation that most movies are filmed in. As a result, except for the opening scroll titles, the movie is pillar-boxed (black bars on the left and right sides) and only fills a small portion of their movie screen.
The shot of the Brooklyn Bridge that is seen briefly on the boys' movie screen is from SOS: Save Our Skins, a movie produced and directed by Brojects co-creator/producer/director [[Kent Sobey], and worked on by many other key Brojects production staff members.
