Fjallraven is a brand whose story eminates a deep connection to nature. Its the cold air on your face, picking blueberries, the sound of water trickling in a creek. Teaming up with the in-house creative, we explored the lush forests of the Pacific Northwest to capture the experiences that “Make Summer Count”.

The Concept
Red Bull Rampage is the pinnacle of freestyle mountain biking- pitting the best riders in the world against 75ft jumps and impossibly steep desert chutes. Rampage riders push the limits of physics, while redefining their sport on a creative freeride course. The elite riders selected for Rampage spend days scrutinizing and sculpting lines, each striving for a chance at victory and cementing their place in Rampage history. However, the exceptional skill level of these riders often makes it easy to lose perspective of these massive features. Imagine- what would a 5-story drop look like off of an actual building? With this film, our task was to put these tricks to scale and give context to the gravity defying stunts of Red Bull Rampage. Additionally, we wanted our film to showcase the same levels of energy and ridiculousness that draws crowds to Rampage year after year.
The Film (Locations & Stunts)
In order to put these stunts in perspective, we took them out of the desert and into the city. To showcase the insane steepness of the Rampage chutes, we enlisted the help of the Petzl climbing team. Jaxson Riddle and his bike were suspended from their headquarters, as if he were about to ride down the nearly vertical building. At the Wendover Airport, Alan Dixon launched his dirt bike off a 75ft ramp, easily clearing two WW2 ambulances and a fire truck below him. SuperRamp Technologies designed a 5-story step-down ramp, turning the Natural History Museum into a Red Bull Rampage feature. Jaxson Riddle rode the drop, demonstrating the resiliency and (literally) off-the-wall skill level required to succeed as a Rampage rider.
The Style
For this piece, we leaned into a “Wes Anderson” esque style and tone that was meant to give levity to just how gnarly rampage really is. This meant doing slow zooms, whip pans, and a wardrobe that could’ve ended up in “The Grand Budapest” itself. We leaned into a minimal animation style that was meant to emphasize the actions and scale of the features we shot.
The Gear
Utilizing the Angenieux “25 – 250” we were able to achieve the slow zooms that we wanted to show scale to the large features, additionally we utilized a black arm for the car shots and an FPV drone for some of the following shots.

"Jamrock" follows the remarkable journey of Kai Lightner, a 12-time national climbing champion and the visionary founder of "Climb for Change." Against the backdrop of Jamaica, renowned for its vibrant culture but not traditionally associated with rock climbing, Kai embarks on a transformative mission.
The film delves into the heart of Jamaica's emerging climbing community, where passion and determination thrive despite limited resources and recognition. As a sport historically dominated by white individuals, Kai seeks to challenge stereotypes and foster inclusivity by bringing the thrill of rock climbing to a diverse range of enthusiasts.
Driven by a profound sense of purpose, Kai sets his sights on an ambitious goal: establishing a rock climbing gym within the iconic National Stadium of Jamaica. Through his unwavering dedication and the support of local climbers, he endeavors to create not just a facility, but a symbol of empowerment and opportunity for the Jamaican community.
"Jamrock" celebrates the spirit of unity and perseverance as Kai Lightner and his team navigate obstacles, forge connections, and ultimately inspire a nation to reach new heights, both on and off the climbing wall. With breathtaking landscapes, stirring personal narratives, and the universal language of sport, the film is a testament to the transformative power of passion, community, and the pursuit of one's dreams.
Have you ever pondered what the longest climbing route in the world is?
You may have guessed that it was the great Mt. Thor on Baffin Island, Canada (4,101ft), or perhaps even the Azeem ridge on the Trango Towers, Pakistan (7,400ft), both impressively large in size, but even these are dwarfed in comparison to the unlikely record holder.
Nestled amongst the lush hillsides of upstate New York sits a bluff of quartzite rock known as the Gunks. Regarded as the birthplace of American climbing, its short yet mighty wall stretches more than 9000ft... horizontally.
Established by Dan Rosanstein and Ken Nichols in 1987, the Great Wall of China route is a masterpiece of esoterica which traverses the entire wall, its greatest crux may be jug rash, bugs, and dog walkers.
One Dream. Two Dirtbags. 9000ft of Climbing.
Maureen Beck is a professional climber, whisky luge’r, puppy mother, back yard chicken wrangler, and a para-climbing gold medalist…
Born without a left hand, rock climbing may not be the obvious sport to choose. It’s hard enough to hold on with two hands, but for Mo, hard is a calling.

Alaska. Renown for rugged landscapes, edged mountains, and brilliant animals. It is a place that demands respect. When tasked to create a campaign that embodied the ethos of the KÜHL brand, few places and people speak more true to that lifestyle, than Alaskans.
We follow along with Gabby Palko and Rydor McCune, two locals to the secluded town of Valdez in Alaska and discover what motivates someone to take on such a challneging lifestyle.

I cannot think of anyone in my life that does not possess a dream of some kind. For many, realizing those dreams often becomes a tug of war between everyday commitments and the chastising fear of failure in the pursuit of said dream. Lofty goals of climbing Everest, becoming a pilot, or building their own house, car, or motorbike are often cast aside because “I don’t know how to” and are labelled as pipe dreams. But it doesn’t need to be this way.
As a boy, I would often find great reward in tinkering. My innocence afforded me the mindset of being fearlessly curious and failure was not yet a concept that I fully understood. Everything was simple. If you wanted to do something, you had to first try it. Dismantling and rebuilding the black and white antenna tv in my room or the down stairs stereo hi-fi system was just a way to spend a Saturday afternoon when my mum left the house to work.
When we moved to a new house around the age of 11, our new neighbors were a couple named Mike and Nikki. They kept an Avery of parakeets in their backyard which I would feed daily in exchange for pocket money. Not able to have children themselves, I think they took to me and enjoyed having this curious human around. As motorcycle enthusiasts themselves, they would often visit a local hang out spot for a beer where on any given Sunday, 200 riders would show up to burn rubber and admire machines.
If I was lucky, I would be invited on these afternoon excursions to “The Tap” in Eastham Rake (UK), and it was here my love for motorbikes began to take hold. With each trip to “The Tap”, I would learn more and more about bikes and there capabilities. Riders would invite me for a ride with them to which I would eagerly reply “yes”.
Strapping on an oversized helmet that I could barely see through as it wobbled around, we would blast off to 100mph down the long straight road that led away from the pub. I got to know the different styles of bikes, what they were good for, and met people who had built their own masterpiece which they rode with pride. I admired their work and dreamt that one day, I too could build myself a bike.
My parents didn’t much like the idea of me riding a motorbike, they were “death machines” in their eyes. My dad had lost several friends to riding and recovered from a handful of bad accidents himself. He told me to ask again when I was older, and that “now was not the right time”. Not wanting to push the matter further, I locked the dream away in the back of my mind.
Around the age of 16, I asked my Dad once again if I could have a motorbike. He replied; “If you’re man enough to own a motorbike, you’re man enough to move out of home”. I understood the somewhat cryptic message he was telling me. You need to be responsible to ride a bike and being able to support myself without their help was a good benchmark for recognizing the time. Once again, the dream of building and riding my own bike was crushed and forgotten.
That is until recently.
On the morning of my 34th birthday, I sat down in my front room, closed my eyes, and tried to envision which of my dreams had I accomplished, which ones were left, and how long I had to accomplish them.
A sense that my time was escaping me consumed my thoughts. Life suddenly seemed finite. I felt that if I was to accomplish any of my dreams, I had to cast aside doubt, lack of knowledge, and apprehension, and lean into the unknown, just as I had as a boy.
No dreams left behind.
The Kenai River called Kahtnu in the “Dena’ina” language, is the longest river in the Kenai Peninsula of south central Alaska. It runs 82 miles (132 km) westward from Kenai Lake in the Kenai Mountains, through the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge and Skilak Lake to its outlet into the Cook Inlet of the Pacific Ocean near Kenai and Soldotna. The flows of it’s meltwater converge in the town of Cooper Landing. Best known for its abundant King Salmon runs which draw in crowds from around the world, there is another fish in this river that captivates anglers...
Each summer, millions of Pacific Salmon return to their natal Kenai, bringing with them a vital store of energy from the ocean. Years of intense feeding in the North Pacific has allowed them to double in size many times before heeding the instinctual urge to come home and spawn. Protein that once took the form of krill or herring is now transformed into pulsing salmon flesh on a one way mission to reproduce. Once the salmon’s first life expires, another begins. A proverbial life after death, the deceased salmon and their eggs provide sustenance for another of the river’s inhabitants, trophy winning Rainbow Trout.
For years, the Rainbow Trout were largely overlooked by anglers whose attention was taken by the Salmon run. That was until 1984 when Curt “Trout” Muse decided to uplift his entire life and follow his dream. Alongside his wife Judy, they moved to Cooper Landing and opened Alaska Troutfitters, a specialized store and guiding service that would help shape the future of the Kenai. Curt’s undying passion in life was teaching others the joy and wonder of fishing the Kenai River and its surrounding areas. Through his years, Curt innovated and pioneered Fly Fishing techniques for the Kenai River and beyond. His skills with a fly rod and his drive to teach others was unequaled. An advocate on the Cooper Landing Fish and Game Advisory Committee, Curt understood the importance of preserving the Kinai’s ecosystem and fisheries for future generations. Overtime, Curt’s love and obsession for fishing Trout would earn him the title of Master Guide and he would be bestowed the nickname “Curt Trout” by those who knew him.
Shortly after opening Alaska Troutfitters, Curt was joined by two budding fishing guides, Dusty Byrd, and Billy Coulilette. The two would later get married and become part of Curt’s extended family, spending more than a decade alongside him, learning his techniques and philosophy.
In the late 90’s, Curt’s health began to deteriorate and fishing became physically challenging. Not to be disheartened, he developed new fishing techniques that would allow him to continue pursuing his passion and opening the world of possibility to others who required alternative fishing techniques. In 2003, Dusty and Billy would take on more duties, and ultimately become owners of Alaska Troutfitters.
In this film, we take a look at the life of a man whose personality, passion, and advocacy for trout fishing helped shape the culture of a town and river, and whose contribution to a sport resonates today.
This is, the story of a trout.

What sets apart the very best partnerships in the mountains? You might assume it’s an affinity for the same kind of projects. Or that’s it’s all about matched levels of skills and experience. Or perhaps it’s similar styles of moving through the mountains and compatible schedules that build the strongest partners. But the real secret to the best partnerships is much less about comparisons than it is about connections.
After a chance meeting two years ago, Mammut Pro Team athletes Caro North and Nadine Wallner have sparked an extraordinary partnership. The two women are from different worlds; Wallner is a professional Austrian freeride skier, while North is a professional alpinist and widely celebrated climber from Switzerland. But in the last two years the pair have been skiing, climbing and paragliding together, everywhere from Austria to Pakistan. It’s a remarkable example of the power of unexpected encounters, and proof that sometimes the most unlikely partnerships are often the best.
While the two women share little in common through their backgrounds, they are both steadfast in their belief that it’s not shared skills and experience that make some partnerships stand out from the rest. Rather, it’s a simple human connection.
“I like to be in the mountains with people I can also go for a coffee with. And that’s not normal,” says Wallner.
“Sometimes you’re just focused on a project or a sport. I like to know someone as a person, not just a mountain partner. “ This works with Caro.
“What makes this partnership different is the face-to-face level. We’re meeting each other as real people, not just as a mountain person with the skills and everything else. We get along and we have fun.”
North, who spurred on the project to climb the mythical Ave Caesar (7c) route on the Petit Clocher du Portalet in Switzerland with Wallner in 2021, echoes her partner’s sentiments.
“I think the coolest thing is that Nadine is always motivated. She's a partner who I can do everything with. So, we go skiing together. We go climbing together. We go alpine climbing together… But it's not only the climbing that brings us together.”
“We can also talk about everything. And for me, this is really important. It's not only about climbing; it's way more. Even if we're not climbing together, we call each other and just chat for hours on the phone.”
Despite their relatively short friendship, Wallner and North have built a strong level of trust, something that both agree is the foundation of success in the mountains.
“If I can’t trust my partner, I can’t climb on my limit,” says North.
“The more you climb together, the less words you need, the better you just work together and kind of have a fusion."
“And with Nadine and me, there's definitely times where we can communicate without words and we just look at each other and we both know what the other one is thinking. It's really cool. I haven't had such a good partner in a long time, where we can do everything and it's so easy."
“We want to push each other, but there is no competition to us. We want to be a strong team together. So, if she reaches something, we reach something as a team.”
Finding the perfect partner for mountain sports is a notoriously difficult task. The mental and physical challenge of elite alpine pursuits makes the task of finding teammates who are grafting on the same level especially challenging. But sometimes the stars align and deliver not just an equal, but a perfect match.
“It has to work as a team and everyone brings something,” says Wallner.
“If you can put it together and bring out something even better, for me, that’s the main goal. It’s not just about doing this route, or if you want to ski this or that. You can go solo, but it’s not so much fun. If you share it, you get double the fun. And when you suffer together, it’s half of the suffering. And I can do this with Caro.”

Climbing is at the core of my existence. Over the last 10 years, It has introduced me to incredible new places, and new people.
I first met Sam Weir in Boulder Colorado about 8 years ago. Like me, he had come to the promised land to focus on climbing. Having both spent a lot of time developing new areas, we shared an affinity for exploration and seeking the edge of possibility.
Born and raised in Pennsylvania and one of 13 kids, Sam was different to many of the climbers I met in the past. Passionate to a fault, his after work exploits often involved hiking alone for hours into Rocky Mountain National Park to stare down his latest project. As someone who shared the same tendencies, we bonded over our addiction to the sport.
Years later, I would leave Colorado for Utah, and Sam headed to France. Understanding how life has the tendency to send us in obscure directions, I wasn’t sure if I’d ever see Sam again.
I stayed in touch with Sam throughout the years, exchanging psych and hearing about the latest project. Since meeting Sam in Colorado all those years ago, I’ve watched him take down countless hard boulders, flashing V12 as though it was a warm up, and generally just silently crushing without the media eye. I always admired this, motivation through pure joy for the challenge.
Last year, I happened to be in France for work and reached out to Sam. He was living in Geneva, climbing in Switzerland and at the time, was working a steep roof Boulder called “Scarred for life” 8b+, put up by Dave Grahem (@dave_graham_) With a few days free in my schedule, we arranged to head the Boulder together.
As a filmmaker, I find joy sharing authentic stories of those that inspire me, and creating a style and format that breaks with convention.

Kelly grew up in Jackson WY with the Tetons and National Forest as her playground. She began climbing at age 6 which led to lifelong love for the sport. Kelly began competing in bouldering competitions while in college in Los Angeles, winning multiple firsts in the Advanced Women’s Division. After graduating she moved back home to Jackson where she pursued snowboarding on a competitive level until 2012 when she blew her knee on her home mountain. Ironically, the injury inspired Kelly to begin trail running and pursuing human powered endurance pursuits in the mountains.
Today Kelly is an avid mountain runner and adventurer, merging her passions for running, climbing, and exploring remote and wild places. She enjoys the challenge of pushing herself mentally through difficult endurance feats, typically solo and unsupported. When she is not outside, Kelly maintains a career as a professional illustrator with artwork inspired by her time in nature.

Well Good Productions founder Gareth Leah cut his teeth on production through his first love, climbing expeditions. A self confessed adventure addict, his 10 year search for the perfect rock face lead him to the unlikeliest of places.
Guided by the bizarre google search “Super hero villain lair”, we follow his story of discovering an un-natural looking tower located on the smallest country in Africa. Joined by his best friend and climbing partner Sergio “Tiny” Almada, they head out to discover what it’s like to battle monsoon rains, choosy rock, and black mamba snakes on the worlds largest monolith.
