DREAMS ADRIFT - TEASER
Stoked to go into production on this one. This fall, @mattmarx12 is setting sail on a massive log raft. It’s homemade and should turn into quite the work of art. I get to be along for the journey from Lewiston, ID to Astoria, OR as we navigate dams, barges, elements, and the unexpected. He’ll be navigating mutiny as well. I’m excited for what this story will entail. Matt is an adrenaline junky, Jack-of-all-trades and it’s been a blast following him with a camera.
Mountain towns across America are facing a crisis. As wealth disparity and the cost of living soars, these once vibrant, local cultures are being eroded. What was once a shared way of life is now commodified—claimed by those who can afford the view but chose not to buy into the values. The slow unraveling of these towns and their identity is a syndrome we call Loved to Death.

This film (available at the link in our bio) follows two locals - @joshdinham & @derek.alumbaugh - as they welcome you into their backyard and guide you through the responsible and respectful way to visit their town - a vulnerable alpine community itself. Their voices serves as a heartfelt reminder that the true value of these towns’ lies in their people, not in their real estate.

A Century of Sharing the West / Trailer
Last year we teamed up with @finandfurfilms to produce a short film for the @duderanchvacations 100-year anniversary. Sometimes the right project, team, and story come along and remind you why you do this. This one gave us the chance to play cowboy for a bit and get a glimpse into this way of life across ranches in Arizona and Wyoming.
A Century of Sharing the West tells the story of the people who built this culture and continue to carry it forward today. Link to full length film in BIO
