What Sets Us Apart
Wilderness Expedition TrainingNot only are we professional filmmakers, we also have wilderness expedition skills. We pride ourselves in being trained in the industry standards for professional outdoor travel including Leave No Trace and Wilderness First Responder through National Outdoor Leadership School.
With over a decade of experience filming in remote environments, we go just about anywhere that the project requires. From the depths of the Copper Canyons in Mexico to the Olympic Peninsula of Washington, we have worked in a diverse range of challenging environments. |
Ethical IntegrityIt's the ethical integrity of our team that ultimately directs our path. We carefully select projects that resonate with our values and ethics. Our films are not just a single, finished products - they represent a greater movement to encourage our audience to engage and explore.
We join forces with brands that align with our ethics. From solar powered equipment to performance gear made with eco-values in mind, we strive to be an environmentally and socially responsible company. Our goal is to ensure a reduced ecological footprint. |
Full-Immersion StorytellingWe invest the time to engage in the environment where we work, often living on-site for months or years at a time. We build long lasting relationships with the individuals and communities in our films and it is apparent. We capture intimate moments that add depth and authenticity to our stories.
We are not afraid to get our hands dirty and will often join in on an experience to have a greater understanding of it ourselves. Our approach allows us to see the world from a different perspective and portray the story from a uniquely captivating lens. |
