I got to watch Julian Li string a racket for @yonex_usa a few weeks ago. He humored my very uninformed tennis questions and spent 45 minutes stringing a racket that probably would have taken him 10 if I wasn’t bothering him.

I spent most of Monday’s Boston Marathon wandering around the finish line getting yelled at by various race officials and members of the Boston Police Department.
Back in October I helped my friend @brendanpdavis with a series he’s directing for @tracksmithrunning on their marathon team @tracksmithstamata
When I asked Brendan last week if I could post some of the stuff I shot, he said “only if you tell everyone that I was your boss.”
Back in 2023 we spent a few days with @thatdakotajones before he raced 100 miles at Western States. He figured the best way to get to the race was by riding his bike from his home in Salt Lake City to the starting line in Olympic Valley, CA, roughly 600 miles away. Me, @stephenkersh and @evanperigo followed him on his journey and slept in hotels while Dakota pitched a tent on the side of the road.
Here are a few of my favorite clips from a film that will never be released.
I spent a decent part of August following Kristian Morgan along the Appalachian Trail directing a documentary that came out yesterday. It’s called Terminus. Here’s a handful of my favorite scenes from the film that a ton of people helped make happen.
Stephen and I ruined a rental van in order to make this happen so please go watch so we can begin recouping some of our expenses.
Finally, a big thank you to @kristianultra for letting us inside his world for nearly 2,000 miles.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Back on August 1st we were in Maine to capture the start of @kristianultra attempt at the FKT along the Appalachian Trail.
Checked in with him again last week in Northern Virginia. He’s gone more than 1200 miles in three weeks and is drinking melted Ben & Jerry’s for calories.
We’ll be back out in Georgia for the finish in a little more than a week. Here’s a few photos from the last 1200 miles.
