Some might call it scrappy, we call it a worldview rooted in a Midwest work ethic. We tell stories that matter because we care more about impact than “content”. We abhor bedazzled jeans and “influencers” and don’t give a damn about what car you drive. We call it like it is and know that a firm handshake goes further than putting money on black. We play kickball on Tuesdays, run marathons on Wednesdays, and lobby our legislators on Thursdays - because these are important things. We do the right thing...not because it's trendy, but because it's how our moms taught us. Welcome to Field Work.

Rivers in Alaska’s Brooks Range are changing in ways no one fully understands.
Arctic Alchemy follows Roman Dial — adventurer, father, and climate scientist — as he journeys deep into the backcountry to uncover a mysterious phenomenon poisoning vital watersheds.
What begins as a research mission becomes a personal reckoning with loss, resilience, and the power of wilderness to break us open and bring us alive.
A reminder to look closer at the landscapes we move through — and to consider the responsibility we share in their future.

“Arctic Alchemy” by @colin_arisman and @zeppelinzeerip tells the intimate story of Roman Dial, a father and climate scientist who has spent a lifetime finding meaning in the wild ⛰️. The film follows two intertwined stories: Roman’s search for his son who disappeared in the Costa Rican wilderness, and his long-running investigation into a mysterious poisoning of Arctic watersheds.
We saw “Arctic Alchemy” at @mountainfilm ‘25, where it was unsurprisingly a big hit with audiences. Watch this #vimeostaffpick now at the link in bio.
I’ve always had a love–hate relationship with running. Some days it feels like freedom and clarity. Other days it feels like punishment with shoes on. But somewhere between the burn in your lungs and the moment you finally forget you’re running at all—that’s where it clicks. That’s where the high lives.
This piece isn’t a “running commercial” in the traditional sense. No perfect stride breakdowns, no athletes pretending to levitate, no black-on-black urban grit. I wanted to reimagine what running feels like, not just how it looks.
We built a bright, surreal world where a run turns into a full-body mind trip: macro flowers, shifting colors, dream-logic landscapes. A portal from everyday life into that floaty, euphoric, slightly-delusional space you only hit when you push past the part where you swear you’re never doing this again.
