Filmmaker Daniel Northcott’s autobiographical documentary “Sketches for Roam”. This story of a “tragic, romantic nomad,” explores a decade in the life of the filmmaker, who’s battle with terminal Acute Myeloid Leukemia came to an end this past June. “Sketches for Roam” represents Dan’s message of how precious this life is and the people of the world are.

In Sketches for Roam, the filmmaker takes the viewer on a fantastical journey across four continents, two sub-continents and a thousand islands. Daniel takes on the role of an existential documentary filmmaker who sets about to investigate the nature of space, time and the universe. As the film proceeds, Dan discovers that his very life is in the balance when, following a diagnosis of terminal leukemia, he is given 6 months to live.

Dan Northcott is the talented 29-year-old son of acclaimed 60s folk singer and recording artist Tom Northcott. Daniel passed away June 22nd, 2009. His Family wishes to further his life dream of using his film to spread his inspiring love of the world and this life we are given. It is the family's goal to continue Daniel's dream of taking this film to the next level of production and then to share it with the world.
